Ah, Placebo. By far the best band in existance. To me anyway. SikFuk would tell you differently and say it was Coal Chamber. But they're great as well anyway.
Anyway, about placebo. This trio started back in 1997, the line-up being Brian Molko-vocals&guitar, Stefan Olsdal-bass, and Robert Shultzberg(I never learned how to spell his name, oh well)-drums. After the release of their self titled Placebo, Robert oh so thankfully left the band because of difficulties with being mature, and was soon replaced by the wonderful and talented and sweet Steven Hewitt. The band then released two more albums, Without You I'm Nothing and Black Market Music, the world was Placebo's burrito. After hits such as "Nancy Boy", "Pure Morning" and "Every You Every Me", Placebo have proved to be original, tasteful and soulful all in one.
