I was a big fan back in 2003/2004. Still haven't checked out Hot Leg yet, but I probably should soon. Then again, I tried listening to the two Darkness albums recently and they didn't do all that much for me anymore, sadly.
Slightly off topic, I guess why the Darkness were so popular back then was because at the time it was mostly depressing post-grunge/nu-metal/pre-emo bands (alot of which were quite bland sounding) and emerging from the mist was this colourful happy fun-loving and funny band who could actually play a guitar! And ofcourse they did have catchy tunes for mainstream music fans to get hooked into. Ofcourse the masses saw them as a joke/novelty band so their fate was kinda doomed either way.
