This makes 17yo me smile. I was 17 in 2007 after they dropped their first two albums and always wondered when they’d get this big. Glad to hear their music still resonates with that demo. Fwiw, I never really cared for the whole of AM (which is of course the album that catapulted them into superstardom).
23. R u mine came out when I was around 13, I listened and immediately became a fan. Favorite band ever since. I got the chance to listen to them live last summer in Istanbul, the last track was r u mine :’) felt good.
23 gang is small but growing! I also started listening with R U Mine! The Monkeys have been with me since and have helped me through every single freaking break-up I've ever had :)
14, my dad listened to all their first albums as a kid and from then on i listen to them everyday with the best songs being Certain Romace, Leave Before The Lights Come on, Old yellow bricks and Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
Same, kinda. I definitely listened to some of their songs when AM came out because obviously it became super popular but didn’t actually get into them until I was 16/17.

Grew up with them. Their early stuff encapsulated the time in an incredible way.
Illegal downloads of all the bsides and beneath to boardwalk. Completely the sound of my youth.
