    I got into these guys just a few days ago after hearing their album 'Meds'. I can't believe I wasn't a fan before then!

    Who else is a Placebo fan? Any favourite albums or songs? Discuss.

    "Post Blue", "Song To Say Goodbye", "Broken Promise", and "Meds" are such awesome songs.

    I like a few songs by them, I've only just started listening to them lately too though :p I like Blind, Pierrot the Clown and In the Cold Light of Morning off of Meds. Blind is my favourite :)

    I've been a fan for.. I don't even know how many years now.
    Favourite album: Sleeping With Ghosts
    Favourite songs: Without You I'm Nothing, Sleeping With Ghosts, Special K, The Bitter End, Twenty Years and their covers of Running Up That Hill, The Ballad of Melody Nelson and Jackie.

    To all of you who are beginners when it comes to Placebo, listen to their greatest hits album first. If you like it buy it. You don't need to buy all the albums because almost all of their finest songs (up to meds) are on the GH disc.

    Seeing them live at this years Projekt Revolution made me become a fan of theirs. They put on a fantastic show. I've listened to their music off and on for a few years but just never really got into them. Meds is definitely my favorite album and I love the song "Infa-red" a lot. Good band. I'm glad I finally got into their music.

    Love Placebo. My favorite album, by far, is Without You I'm Nothing, but I think my favorite song is Post Blue.

    Quoted for great justice.

    Also... "Pure Morning."

    I fucking blast that song.

    I heard about them before Projekt Revolution when one of my coworkers came in with a Meds sweatshirt on, and I asked her about them. She then proceeded to mention they would be at PR, and unfortunately, I couldn't get tickets.

    I've been obsessing ever since.

    I heard a few years ago, but I only have 'Sleeping With Ghosts' and 'Black Market Music.'

    Favorite track is 'Special K,' but haven't listened to them in a long while.

    Oh yeah. Brilliant song.
    I know I already listed my favourites but I must add a few more :) : Bruise Pristine, Protège Moi, Every You Every Me, and my fave from Meds - Space Monkey.

    I really glad they were on PR because a lot of people found out about them. Such and awesome band.

    And also, they have some pretty cool videos, check them out as well.

    I <3 Brian Molko. My favorite album is Without You I'm Nothing or Placebo. I love Nancy Boy, The Bitter End, Come Home, 36 Degrees, Pure Morning, Space Monkey, Burger Queen, Without You I'm Nothing, Special K, Follow the Cops Back Home, Post Blue and I love Brian doing Five Years.. I love the Henry Rollins performance of Running Up That Hill (One of the most amazing musical moments for me ever). Placebo are amazing.

    Two of the posters here are fans due to PR07. Most of us already knew about them beforehand. ;)

    I was well aware of Placebo before Projekt Revolution. I heard their song 'Meds' in a hockey highlight video on YouTube and really liked it, so I checked out their newest album and was very impressed.

    Their cover of Running Up That Hill is amazing.

    Their own stuff isn't too bad either, I don't really have favourites though. Probably Song To Say Goodbye.

    I started listening to them a little when I heard they were going to be on Projekt Rev. My favorites songs by them are probably ''Meds'' and ''Summer's Gone''.
