    Franz Ferdinands main inspiration sems to be XTC circa 1978-79

    And more so the Kaiser Chiefs. When I heard them first, I thought they WERE XTC. Oh I know it's been obvious from day one that Franz Ferdinand are rip-off merchants but I've never seen it as blatantly as this - the kilts and everything. Other bands being ripped off by the current crop - Adam and the Ants and Ultravox.
