I wish the Killers would go away

And take the strokes with them. We've already had Joy Division and the Stooges, thank you.

BTW the Killers should be beaten like dirty rug for their version of Shadowplay.

1. I disagree

I think most of their newest album is awesome. Tranquilize, Read My Mind, Sam's Town, and Mr. Brightside are also very good songs.
I don't like Shadowplay, but with any band you take the good and bad.

2. I may risk my coolness for saying this, but

I thought their first two albums were pretty good. I listen to them sometimes when I'm doing cardio at the gym. I listened to the third one on youtube and decided it wasn't anywhere near as good as the first ones. I think the best thing about "Day and Age" is the cover art, which is pretty slick.

6. Oh definitely.

It's waaaay more cool to bitch about the stuff you don't like. For sure.

3. I liked their first album. They got boring after that.

I liked their Shadowplay cover though.

The Strokes are much better, but yeah, nothing special.

8. That is a highly punishable offence.

Win Butler has more talent in his vintage vest than Brandon Flowers has in his massive ego. (Because he does, as far as I can tell, have a tremendous one.)

7. My issue with the Killers has always been...

That the lighting guy is the most prominent member of the band.

10. I think they sound more like The Cure myself... they're not deep enough to try to be Joy Division

I don't mind them, but i much prefer the real thing myself...
