Been listening since the first record. He just keeps cranking out gems. I hate to pick the obvious song but the contrasting rhythm with the guitar and vocal melody are pretty badass.
Totally. Matt Helders is a phenomenal drummer. Even now that he's laying back more, still super good and very inventive.Turner is the whole package, but you've got to give credit to the other guys in the band too. The rhythm section is killer, and Jamie Cook's playing is sublime. They've got it all, big riffs, killer lyrics, soaring chorus', and a frontman with boatloads of charisma. How far back do you have to go to find a band that has all of these elements? Queen?
It's strange seeing that video of "Do I Wanna Know" being played live in a studio, because if there was a song that begs to be played in a jammed stadium it's that one! The riff alone is too big to play in a studio! My favorite album is either the first one or "nightmare", but I've played AM to death as well, so it could also be.
If you like Turner, you might also check out Myles Kane, and Turner's soundtrack to the movie Submarine.
I've got 2nd row seats for the Houston show this Thursday night, and I've been waiting all summer for this one!

Miles Kane's solo albums are great, too. Particularly the first one.If you dig Alex Turner you really should check out his side band The Last Shadow Puppets. It's pretty incredible stuff.
