A family band out of Nashville, Brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill with cousin Matthew Followill formed Kings of Leon in 1999. To describe the band’s music is a combination of southern rock, garage rock with a heavy dose of alternative sound, basically making this a kick ass band. Their fourth album Only by the Night was a commercial breakthrough for the band going platinum in the United States and super huge in Australia (go figure) where the album was certified platinum 9 Times! At the 52nd Grammy Awards “Use Somebody” won Record of the Year and Best Rock Song by a group or duo. At this time, we would like to induct Kings of Leon’s Only by the Night into the WPLR Hall of Fame. Thanks for your votes.
