No? Well neither did anyone else apparently. Also, I think the one on the far right is a goblin. Just putting that out there. [quote]Australian rock band Jet has called it quits nearly 10 years after they scored a hit with the single “Are You Gonna Be My Girl.” Don’t remember them? Well, you probably do remember the commercials for iPods and Budweiser that featured the song, which seemed to make the perfect soundtrack for advertisements. Chris Cester, Mark Wilson, Nic Cester and Cameron Muncey of the band Jet. (Lisa Maree Williams - GETTY IMAGES) The band announced the split on its Web site Monday, writing, ”After many successful years of writing, recording and touring we wish to announce our discontinuation as a group. From the many pubs, theatres, stadiums and festivals all across the world it was the fans that made our amazing story possible and we wish to thank them all. Jet scored big with “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” — a song that many people accused them of cribbing from Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” — but their successive efforts, including the records “Shine On” in 2006 and “Shaka Rock” in 2009,” failed to gain as much traction. But the royalties from those commercials, as well as licensing for video games like Rock Band, will perhaps ensure that the members' retirement will be a comfortable one.[/quote] [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/arts-post/post/jet-of-are-you-gonna-be-my-girl-fame-breaks-up/2012/03/27/gIQA0wBjeS_blog.html[/url]

i thought jet was p decent
Middle right looks like an older more grizzled version of my cousin :v:
Never heard any of their songs other than "Are you gonna be my girl" but I liked it.
Jet was generic and annoying. Too bad their breakup is only gonna make that shitty ear-rape play even more often on my car radio.

So basically a one-hit-wonder is lost? I have literally never heard another song except Are Your Gonna Be My Girl?. Guess I'll go play that on Rock Band in memory.

One hit wonders, why are they so common?
They look like Calvin Klein models that got bored and listened to the rolling stones one day [editline]27th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=zombini;35324480]One hit wonders, why are they so common?[/QUOTE] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fa/Stacks_of_money.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=UncleJimbo13;35324547][video=youtube;yUgBHV9WEzY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUgBHV9WEzY[/video][/QUOTE] ok
Not going to lie, I had no idea they were Australian. I mean the only song I've heard from them is their hit, but still I didn't spot a single accent in it.
They had other good songs as well I like this one personally [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgw5mOtWd1k[/media]
I liked a couple other Jet songs
They weren't a one hit wonder band! Are you gonna be my girl was probably their best song but they had lots of others :(

Pitchfork gave Jet's album a 0.0 and the only content on the page was that video of a monkey drinking its own pee. [url]http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9464-shine-on/[/url]
I bought their album a few years ago. It's pretty decent, actually.
