I know I had a couple of their singles on my first ever iPod (all the way back in 2006) and I was listening to their first to albums on repeat for a fair while. But as my music collection expanded they got pushed onto the back burner. Thanks to limited memory, the eventually phased of my music digital music collection completely in favour of the likes of My Chemical Romance during what I can now only call 'The Skinny Jean Phase'.
But! They've made their glittering return to my music as of late, and I'm a very happy lady for it. The scariest moment came the other day when I realised that their first album, Employment came out almost 10 years ago and I still remember it so clearly! I feel old!!
So what's the word on the Kaiser Chiefs? They've got character and some great varied music. Even my mum's got a lot of love for Ricky Wilson after his stint on The Voice.
As for the actual music, I say go straight for Employment. Their music is brilliant but that album (in my opinion) is nothing short of bloody blinding.
As for individual songs, here's a couple of my favourites:
Employment : I Predict a Riot, Oh My God, Everyday I Love You Less and Less
Yours Truly, Angry Mob : Everything Is Average Nowadays, The Angry Mob *,
Off With Their Heads: Kids on the Street (admittedly I don't have the whole album but the song and the video are great)
Education, Education, Education & War: Coming Home
*Listen out for the 'get a shopping basket wrapped round your head' line. Makes me laugh every time for some reason
