Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not became the fastest selling debut album in British music history back in 2006, launching four lads from Sheffield, two of them still teenagers, to the realms of mega stardom. The hype, as much as Turner told us not to believe it, was totally justified. Few UK albums of recent times have caught music fans’ imaginations in the same way as the band’s debut, which features some of the most expressive rock music of the 21st century. Fan favourites Mardy Bum, I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down still rank among the band’s finest tracks. The album is full of evocative storytelling far beyond the band’s years too, with Turner regaling fans with tales of taxi-rank scrapes and offering up perceptive social commentary on tracks like A Certain Romance. It was the start of great things to come.
