Remember when dressing like a British mod was cool? Neither do we, since that was, like, a million years ago. But when Kings of Leon first hit the mainstream scene with 'Youth and Young Manhood' back in 2003, they didn't know any better than to raid their mother's scarf and sunglasses collection before performing in front of people. If you doubt us, just check out this week's Throwback Thursday video of Kings of Leon playing 'Red Morning Light' above.

And what can be said of singer Caleb Followill's hair? It hearkens back to a more exciting time, when guitar rock was revolutionary and singers in rock bands were strange and mysterious -- and probably extraordinarily high.
