Russell Brand has said that he is attracted to the romance of The Libertines.
The comedian told XFM that the group's 2004 single 'Can't Stand Me Now', which chronicles the falling out between frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, was the best track of the past decade.
Brand said: "I like it because of the romance of The Libertines as a group. This song is like the zenith and nadir of their relationship.
"It's perhaps their best creative achievement and also a beautiful hymn to the demise of their friendship."
The Libertines split in 2004 but have played a number of one-off reunion shows since.
Doherty has expressed hopes of reforming the group in 2010, but Barat said that any comeback would be during 2011 at the earliest.
