If only they'd followed 100 Broken Windows with a better album, they would have been massive. Oh well at least the first 2 albums are corkers and Captain is a cracker too.

The raw stuff was the best thing about Idlewild, Hope is Important & 100 Broken Windows were cracking albums. [2] I agree with this. I remember when I started listening to Idlewild and people turned their noses up only for the same people to become fans a few albums later. Met the lads in Edinburgh in the early days in the place both our bands practised and got a bit starstruck lol!

best song: "these are just years" only on 133, WTF!! most of their b-sides are really better than the album tracks.

"The Remote Part" was their mainstream breakthrough with successful top. 40 singles, must've been 4 or 5 hits off that. Wouldn't know anything about them now though

Just looking at their later work (The Remote Part, Warnings/Promises, Post-Electric Blues) they are one of my favourite bands. The only thing that puts me off is their early, raw work, which I'm not a big fan of.

Undeservedly overlooked band... By the way, people, who listen to Idlewild generally have a good taste in music. :)

Hahahaha, it was me who told Matt_White about this band. I found his trolling purely by accident. He's a complete troll who happens to be unable to not speak his mind if he finds music he does not like. On an unrelated note, I fucking love this band and have seen them in their hometown! Travelled all the way from the other end of the country to see them there.

Yep. And on the subject of absolute bullshit claims - it's cool to rep a picture of Jarvis Cocker because he's NOT a pretentious talentless goon. Oh wait...

Also I noticed, people who listen to Idlewild use to have a very good taste in music :)
