Well, the thing is, you must realise, is that whilst these bands are very similar, stylistically, they all write different songs.
I know a lot of people have trouble noticing melodies, rhythms, different performances, hooks and so on, and that style seems to be far, far more important a matter to judge a band by these days, but somebody might think Franz Ferdinand sound cool but simply doesn't like the songs themselves, and then listen to the Arctic Monkeys and realise this is what they were after from Franz. Nice tunes and stuff.
Just a thought.
