Alex Turners best poetry-like lyrics.

Alex Turner and his monkeys formed way back in 2002 in Sheffield and since then have become one of the biggest indie band of the decade. Since then we have seen 5 huge albums with their debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ being released in 2006 and won a Brit for album of the year. After 5 years of no music, the band in 2018 realised their new and controversial album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino’ which was nominated for a mercury award.

However, we are here to discuss and analysis all 5 albums including EPs to figure out the top ten Alex Turner poetry-like Lyrics.
