They play their own instruments.

Nowadays, you get solo artists, boy/girl groups and stuff like that. But I think a band is much better. You may think what's the difference between a band and a group? The difference is that a band plays their own instruments and sing whereas a group sings to music that's been recorded already or they have a live band behind them. So I think that being in a band requires more work for them.
I think that Mcfly being in a band is so much better and it makes them more special because they are the ones playing it and singing. No disrespect to groups like one direction, the wanted, etc because they do work hard for what they've done. I just prefer bands over groups since they sing and play so it's all about the band.
I think this links in with the reason I wrote about before about how Mcfly write about their experience cause we know that it's them whose doing/creating/playing these songs.

Writing from their own experiences.

Some people just write about general things. But in their songs they write about things that they have experienced and want to share. I think this is special because they write about their past which makes it more relateable than a person who wrote a song and hasn't experience it.

One of the most popular example of writing from their own experiences is 'Not Alone' by Danny Jones. He wrote about his past in  school when he got bullied for playing guitar and singing. 

When you hear about the experiences, it makes you feel closer to the band and it's better than writing about stuff that no-one can relate to because when you can relate to a song it makes it better as the lyrics become more meaningful.

Another example is 'All About You' and 'Obviously' by Tom Fletcher. It is from when Tom was a teenager and is about his childhood sweetheart Giovanna Falcone.

Their songs are literally from their feelings, you can feel the tone of the songs. Some are happy, some are sad, some are angry. 

Not Alone

Obviously

Why Mcfly's work is special.

I think that Mcfly work is special because it is a very distinctive sound, it is always changing,I can relate to their music, they're different from other bands, some of their work has helped charity,I know that they are writing from their own experiences which makes it better as it feels like they have nothing to hide from us by putting their heart and soul into it, their later albums are produced by them as they have their own record label so they could make more of the music decisions by themselves and they would have free rein over things.
I'm going to go over some of these reasons later in detail and might add some different ones later. I'll leave you with some videos of Mcfly official music videos so you can see all of these reasons you're self and see how their music has changed, but in a good way.
