Before Only By The Night they were talked about a lot for being a cool bluesy southern rock band. And then Only By The Night hit and they were talked about by 14 year old girls, mainly discussing Sex On Fire.
yeah but the whole 25 years thing is reserved for bands that have had a highly resonating effect on the music industry or their genre as a whole. OR bands that are just medicore enough to really be liked by a LOT of people. the kings of leon don't really fit either of those categories to me, maybe the latter, but I will only group them in there after they release a few more of thier sell out albums. you know what I am saying? maybe in a few years, I will agree with you, but I see this band fading into obscurity with ten years, tops.
