The Killers and the Kings of Leon

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Two bands on absolute top form, Human and Use Somebody are two absolute stokers from these bands. Didn't like the Kings of Leon much before this album but f*** me they got good.

Surely I'm not on my own here am i?.. or am I just a victim of popular culture..?.. ahem

 

[Rookie]

Use somebody is one of the songs of the year. Human took awhile but really like it now not sure Killers fans from old have taken to the new sound

 

[John Dorian]

Got the KOL album, you should get it, they have some absolute STONKERS on that album.

 

[tinx]

both tracks are fantastic, two great bands. I prefer the killers though, I don't think they have ever done a bad song so far.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

always loved the killers from day 1 (literally), KOL I've just warmed to. Just bought the new album after loving the two singles.. Do u think having a k in your name makes you good?? I think it may well play a part.

 

[tinx]

new kids on the block disproved that theory

 

[Paxton Dazo]

These 2 are f***ing class.

Add some Kaiser Cheifs to that list, bang on it

 

[John Dorian]

and some Koasis....with the silent K...maybe

Ohhh and one CLASS act that we're missing out, is the KOOKS...i fookin love the them i do..they get their TOUR CIDER from MIDDLE farm...they told Jo Whiley on the Live Lounge a few months back

and TCT...play the album all the way through, dont just play ur fave songs..I personally dont think "sex on fire" is the best song on that ALBUM.

 

[Skint Gull]

Kings of Leon I would definately agree with but for me Killers have gone far too poppie. I'd also add Snow Patrol and Kaiser Chiefs amongst others to that list as well.

I would have to say in my opinion the general the standard of Indie/Pop Rock is lower this year than a few years back

 

[Horses Arse]

KoL were fantastic - listened to their first album endlessley and the second was damn fine too. Get he impression that the're getting far too mainstream now though - I liked their new stuff but bored of it very quickly.

As for Killers, they've surely gone from mainstream to dissapearing up their own arse - utter gash IMHO

 

[mr sheen]

Never been a fan of either, until spent yesterday listening to Radio 6, and Human must have been played 3 or 4 times - found it to be a real grower.

 

[sten_super]

In terms of Kings of Leon, I'm with Horses Arse. First two albums were great. New album is good but gets samey quickly.

I've not heard the Killers stuff, but always preferred the first album to anything they did subsequently (probably, in truth, due to exposure). Saw them live about 12(?) months ago and they were great though.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Aren't we all forgetting the might Kraftwerk?

 

[The Face]

Definitely prefer the older K.O.L. stuff. Nothing on the new album is a patch on 'California Waiting' or 'Four Kicks'.

As for The Killers, they can't really do any wrong. Great band.

When I heard the new Killers song on the radio I thought it was Chris de Burgh's new single.


ERGO...it is shit.

 

[footychick]

Love K.O.L but not too keen on The Killers.

 

[Cazza]

i lurve the killers and cant wait to see them

to be honest i dont buy into too much what is trendy and what isnt or how mainstream someone has become, if i like them i like them

but the perhaps i am hypcritical as i dont like mainstream cheesy dance

Is the right answer.

 

[Wilka]

The Killers first album was top class. The second was shite and going from the single they are now some euro pop band.

Kings of leon are brilliant though.

Exactly. I don't like mainstream pop, hence I don't like the direction the Killers and others are going
