KOL are the band rock and roll has been waiting for since the grunge era.

I was at Target today and they had all of their albums on the pop/rock bestsellers rack.

Less overrated than the Black Eyed Peas or Animal Collective.

Album sales don't determine a band's greatness. KOL just happen to sell a lot of records along with being fucking awesome.

AC is pretty terrible and that makes them very overrated. I listen to KOL, I just don't think they are that great

I just thought it was odd that I could purchase the entire KOL discography at Target, a store which rarely carries a band's entire catalog.

KOL are fucking awesome. It's not their fault they are also extremely popular.

corduroy_blazer · **Posted:** Fri Aug 28, 2009 5:33 am

Fundamentalist KOL fans annoy me; you know, the ones who think they're the greatest band ever. I tend to like more of the moderate fans, who don't wear skinny jeans like the band does. The fans who are more reasonable in their belief in KOL.

They aren't even close to being the greatest band ever. However, I'd say in the last 10 years they are close to #1. Depends on what else we'd put in the category of "rock band".

They're also kind of lame live. They could have learned a lot more from Pearl Jam.

You means bands that have come out/started in the last 10 years?

Correct, however, I think KOL has put out better music since 2000 than just about any other band - even established acts like U2 and Coldplay.

They're no MMJ.

i've listened to the first 2 albums a few times, they were alright... i don't think i've listened to the other two, are they so bad that the band is mainstream popular now? :twisted:

Kings of Leon take the crown as most overrated band of now
