have to agree with both posts above.

They aren't bad, but hardly 'Rock n' Roll' are they? Too many songs sound the same on their first album. Let's look at the first two albums from both bands... I wonder who wins :D
I can think of three songs by Block Party that i liked off both albums. Whereas everyone (worth knowing ;-) ) knows 90% of the Oasis songs on the first 2 albums.
Just a bunch of students who think too much in my opinion.

Noel's a very intelligent bloke and pretty hilarious too. I think i remember Noel saying that he heard Bloc Party on their way up in the world and said he was impressed.
