...Someone, please, tell me.
How the F*F**K did they manage to become famous for GOOD reasons? I mean, if they were running for the award of 'least talented', then....
If there's any The Streets detesters, please join in with your rebukements and shunning.
If there are any Streets fans, please tell us-
What do you see in them?

I have a certain fondness for the first album as well.
Excellent in my opinion.

I prefer the first album, but they are both great.
Open your ears, stop listening to it through a "PopStars Filter". Just because it's not happy and bouncy and simple and easily forgotten doesn't make it bad.

Anotehr band that talks over music well
Faithless.
And they're dance
But wait, they're good!
Talking over music (It's rapping, sort of) doesn't automatically mak it crap, and the lyrics are good, Dry Your Eyes is brilliant.

Okay, first of all, it's not 'just talking over music'. It's called rapping. Just because he's not black and singing about his bling bling and his Crystal, doesn't mean it's not rapping.
If you think he's just writing about any old rubbish, then I suggest you listen to his new album in its entirety - it's concept album, the whole thing spreading over one day, each track telling a different bit of the story. Individually they might sound like crap, but in the context of the album, they're much better. (And just because you don't down brandies, chase after girls and eat kebabs, doesn't mean he's 'faking it').
It's not to everyone's tastes, granted. But it's not crap, you just don't like it. There's garage music out there that makes this sound like Tchaikovsky, you just don't hear it because this is on the radio more than the others. There's crappy dance music, soulless pop songs, dreadful covers and 'grown up' guitar bands like Busted and McFly in the charts that don't have one ounce of the soul or reality that you can find in some Streets songs. I put it that anyone who thinks the lyrics to Dry Your Eyes are crap has either a) never had a girlfriend or b) has never broken up with one.
I don't listen to classical music, but I don't call it crap. If it's on the radio or the telly, turn it over. Get over it, won't you.

Sorry to bother you but there were years before 2004, and music was made in those years. We're not restricted to what's only been recently made. If we were, I'd absolutely die.

The Streets are excellent, in my opinion.
Something a little different to all this modern day pop.

Well, my plan was to kinda voice my narrow-minded point of view in the vain attempt to make people see it my way.
I was seeking answers, so I could laugh at those answers.

Now that I really agree with. But it's easy to see why they're famous, as they're all poofs, so they appeal to girls like that.
