Does anyone else like this band? I think their songs are awesome. I personally like "This Fire" and "Take Me Out". What are your opinions? What is your favourite song?

Franz Ferdinand isn't actually a person, it's just the name of the band.

They bore me now. I used to like them but all their songs are samey. Meh.

I think they're songs are catchy. I call them "driving songs" because well, they're fun to be in the car while they're on. (Then again, I have a strange classification of songs.)

'Let's make the same record many many times! And then we can call ourselves art-house by making slightly odd videos, dancing strangely and naming ourselves after the guy whose assasination was the trigger for World War One!'

I take it you don't like them.

They're catchy but I'm not fond.

I hate them. With passion. If you want, ask Amy about my hate for them.

I have the same opinion as Twinkle; they were entertaining for a short while, then I realized all their songs sounded the same - boring.

This Fire is my personal favourite.

They confused the beejeezus out of mate...

mate: but the song says "i am a man so come and dance with me micheal"
me: you don't ever do strictly heterosexual dancing with your mates then?

I like them, but I have only heard their latest album. I love This Fire, but my favorite is matinee. The video is pretty cool, too.

Blegh.

They're just people who are trying to look artsy..

It's lame.

And, as igg (I think) pointed out, franz ferdinand WAS a person, at one point

Franz Ferdinand was a person, back around the times of WW1, the Duke of some Europian country...*remembers reading picture captions in History*

The Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand, what next? Ceasars? Oh wait...

I know that. Wasn't it Austria? Anyway, I don't think he made music.
