Kings Of Leon: USA doesn't know of their greatness

[eliselovesmusic]

I live in the tiny country of NZ so I'm well accustomed to the awesomness of the band Kings Of Leon.

But it seems like only Australia, NZ and the UK understand this intricate and musically brilliant band.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't met a single American (and I know a few) that enjoys the band. Their excuse is they "don't get it" or "they're annoying".

I understand the latter excuse, but serioulsy guys, you're missing out!!

I'm gonna get so much hate mail for this...

No, I live in NZ and I agree. Sex on Fire for single of 2008.

Ive heard of them and they're pretty cool. The singers voice is really interesting and different.

[sodamnclever]

I love the new album.

[cwhit412]

Bump to see that they were wrong.
They kinda dominated the US this year.
Now, I do hate them, but yeah.

[tomahawk]

Yeah, they're definitely big in the US, too.

[Castaway01]

Actually, they're really well known here.

I don't like them that much though.

[KMS]

Yeah I hear about them all the time. They are pretty good, but they are not unknown here.
