Kings of Leon were not always terrible. I know, it is hard to believe. If one listens to "Use Somebody", "Sex on Fire", or "Notion" from their later work, it is hard to imagine that this same band with the same band members actually produced some quality music. But they did.
Their first two albums had the distinct sound of understated vocals and biting guitar. The music rolled. It didn't last, though. Of course, the band went on to much wider appeal and more record and concert sales, but the music became banal.
That said, those first couple of albums are definitely worth checking out. Here is the first song off of their first album, Youth & Young Manhood.
