What are your thoughts on this group? A buddy of mine gave me one of their CDs, and just wondering if it is even worth the effort of giving it a listen. |

As a non music dick, it's ok, chicks really seem to dig it for some reason. |

I kinda like "Sex On Fire". Catchy and riffy. |

"Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody" are the best songs on that album. |

I used to kind of like them, but I'm a little worn out on them now. |

Mo Boys like KOL. I didn't realize they are 3 Brothers & a Cousin. |

A few good songs - a lot of garbage... pretty much like 95% of all bands. I had the pleasure of paying only half attention to them when they supported U2 @ United Center in 2005... Not a huge fan. But the good songs I could mention would be (In no order) Crawl The Bucket Notion On Call is decent enough. I would suggest you cherry pick what you like off iTunes, or just ignore them all together. You won't lose sleep either way. |

The B-52s should cover "Sex on Fire" with Fred Schneider singing the chorus. |

Kings of Leon is one of those bands that Rolling Stone has been telling me for the last five years I should get into, but I just can't. The "hits" Sex on fire and Use Somebody are catchy, but the publicity they receive is a little too much. |

I don't get KOL. The stuff I've heard is not the Southern Rock that it was branded to me. Not good. |

I'm not much of a music snob, I like about everything except Coldplay and Nickelback, but I like KOL. Best song off Only By the Night, IMO, is Manhattan. |

I check out the website about once a week to read any interesting music news. They have been hyping Kings of Leon for a long time. I just don't see the appeal. |

Check out "Red Morning Light" by them. By far their best song imo |

Haven't heard anything by them, but I might give them a spin on LastFM later. |

Sex on Fire and Notion are probably my favorites. I'm not the biggest fan of the band. That song was on FIFA 2007? 2008? Maybe, enjoyed it a lot. |

Their first two albums are a pretty good listen, IMO (more southern rock, more obnoxious, in a good way) - and that stuff is light years ahead of the more homogenized last couple ones |
