The Libertines - Time for Heroes: The Best of the Libertines

Although they recorded only two albums before their demise amid Pete Doherty’s chronic drug use, these Brit-rockers left a huge legacy. NME readers chose four Libertine singles for the magazine’s “50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever” list, fewer than Oasis and The Stone Roses but more than Blur, Radiohead and Joy Division. This collection gathers Doherty and vocal-songwriting partner Carl Barât’s finest work, including the joyful “Can’t Stand Me Now” and their fitting swan song “What Became of the Likely Lads.”
