unpopular opinion: arctic monkeys are one artist (alex) and three touring musicians

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

being the frontman of the band, it's only natural alex takes the spotlight most of the time; it's also true that he does most of the work when it comes, for example, to writing the lyrics. however i completely disagree with this take because if it weren't for the fact that all of them have been friends for a lifetime and decided to actually form a band and start working seriously on this project, with each member's contribution... am most likely wouldn't even exist rn. all of them, alex matt jamie and nick (and andy, too, when he was still part of the band) were and are an essential part of the band. removing even one of them and their influence would take away from the band itself, their discography and overall the whole am project. if it weren't for matt, jamie and nick, your favourite songs would probably be something very different from what they actually are - because yes, alex may do most of the work composing albums during their first stages (especially for the latest albums i'd say, tbhc and the car), but then he always shows what he's come up with to the others and they work together to get to the final product. he shows them the rough diamond and they all work together to polish it.
