Great longplayers from the past

10 February 2024

20 years ago, on 9 February 2004, the Scottish guitar pop-rock celebs FRANZ FERDINAND fronted by Alex Kapranos released their triumphant self-titled debut LP making hundreds of thousands of girls faint.

Pitchfork said: “Like all lasting records, Franz Ferdinand steps up to the plate and boldly bangs on the door to stardom. There’s no consideration for what trends have just come and gone. There’s no waffling or concessions for people who won’t get it. As with all great entertainment, it will divide opinion. “ Score: 9/10.

The album peaked at #3 in the UK, with many thanks to blockbuster
hit Take Me Out (almost 800 million streams on Spotify).
