i will agree with you there
So will I. Bit like saying Pigshit smells mildly less offensive than the uber stink of dogshit tho.

I for one can't decide because, for a lack of better words, I really don't like 'em much. They're alright, but they're no new-wave lot. 
KC does nothing for me really. Thought their one single was catchy at first, but got old afte the third listen. FF only has one good song that I've heard so far (listened to only the singles, mind you) and Take Me Out is a great song, but everything else just doesn't really leave an impression on me. So other than one single, both are 
in my book.

Both came out at the same time? You're clueless!
Franz's first album came out in January 2004. Kaiser Chiefs first album was in march 2005!
Read the fucking post: ABOUT the same time you bloody pendant!
They came onto the 'musical scene' PR wise around the same time FFS.

what's their first album got to do with when the bands appeared?
kaisers started in 2002 (from previous carnation parva which started in around 1997)
franz started in late 2001
so that's around the same time, now who's clueless?

That song has to have the most irritating melody for some time. Well at least since Mika. I totally agree the Kaisers are garbage.
I bought both band's fast-selling albums to see what all the fuss was about. Kaiser Chiefs bored me after three or four tracks, saw them live and couldn't see why the kids were so into them, it's generic stuff really. When I first heard Franz Ferdinand I thought someone had uncovered an old Fire Engines, Orange Juice or Josef K track. The first FF album is stronger than the KC one by a long shot, haven't heard the new KC one yet to make fair comparison, but in my mind they are both NME fodder, and it honestly wouldn't bother me if I never heard either of them again.
I saw The Rapture last week, and they were bloody fantastic. Of all those bands (see FF most obviously) trying to pretend it's 1981, they're by far the best.
I realise that stating this in public is about as socially acceptable as confessing to paedophilia and being stricken with a particularly manky bout of leprosy, but they made me dance my wee socks off.
That is all.

Not irritating, just catchy
