The Doves : are they gonna make it ? (O/T)

After seing the Doves at Zenith, I was well impressed with them albeit the only words I could get out of my mouth were "New Order !!!"

Anyone think they are gonna be the next big birds or pigeon pie?

They've already had a number 1 album, 4 top 40 singles including one top 5. The new single "pounding" is excellent. They deserve to be massive.

They already have made it, IMHO.

definitley more big birds than mr snuffleugulpuss(sic) damn, should have researched sesame street character names a bit more thoroughly first

This gives me a good idea for a Bird-related thread - how many bands named after our feathered friends can you think of, like!!?

I have a few: The Byrds CockSparrer The Housemartins Budgie The Tweets The Black Crowes The Crows Shag The Blackbyrds Lieutenant Pigeon Jackdaw With Crowbar Daddy Finch The Rockin Ducks The Nightingales Blue Jays Cock Robin The Shaggs The Sandpipers The Eagles The Hummingbirds The Frank Chickens

...any more suggestions?
