Comparing The Beatles to Franz Ferdinand is like comparing a Ferrari to a Skoda,there isn't any comparison.I respect people who like Franz Ferdinand 'cause you should listen to whatever makes you happy but the Beatles are in a different league when it comes to musicianship and song writing.Franz have released 2 albums in 4 years,The beatles had already made Rubber Soul and Revolver and were starting Sgt Pepper at the same point in their careers.'nuff said.
