Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band. Formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, the band currently consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (rhythm/lead guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Matt Helders (drums, percussion, backing vocals).
The band have released four studio albums: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009) and Suck It and See (2011), as well as one live album At the Apollo (2008). Their debut album became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, surpassing Oasis' Definitely Maybe and remains the fastest-selling debut album for a band in the UK.
Since, at the moment this band is my favorite one (and it has been for 2 years i think), I believe is better to only put the music instead of bore you with the bio.
I'm posting the full online album stream of the first 3 records.
Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not (2006)
The debut album released in 2006. It has since appeared in several critics' publications, and is often cited as one of the best rock albums of the 2000s. And it is indeed. Great rock tunes. Favorite tracks: Mardy Bum, Fake Tales of San Francisco & A Certain Romance

Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007)
First released in Japan on 18 April 2007 before being released around the world. In its first week following release the album sold over 220,000 copies, emulating Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not in going straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart, albeit selling 100,000 copies fewer than their record-breaking debut.

Humbug (2009)
A complete change of style from their previous work. Noted influence from Queens of the Stone Age (the producer of this record was the singer of that band). Released in 2009. Favorite tracks: Cornerstone, Secret Door & The Jeweller's Hands
The online full album stream was blocked by YT. Sorry.
Released last year. In its first week of release the album debuted at number 1 in in the United Kingdom, selling over 82,000 units and knocking Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" off the top spot, this also made Arctic Monkeys only the second band to have four straight number 1 albums, after the Manchester band Oasis. Favorite tracks: She's Thunderstorms, Black Treacle, Shalalala & That's Where You're Wrong
1. "She's Thunderstorms" 2. "Black Treacle" 3. "Brick by Brick" 4. "The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala" 5. "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" 6. "Library Pictures" 7. "All My Own Stunts" 8.

This is their latest track released in March.
It's like the album says... Suck it and then you'll see. 3rd album is where my nick came from
