Top 10 best Killers songs (with embedded videos)
Prediction: The Killers will end being the best rock band of the decade. They have a fresh sound without straying too far from their rock roots. They’re ambitious, hoping to knock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Nirvana “off their pedestal.” And unlike 90% of most promising bands, their albums have gotten progressively better over time (sorta like Led Zeppelin and Nirvana—go figure.) I expect many more great songs from them in the future, but for now, these are their 10 best.

How can this be a Killers top ten without Midnight Show, or Move Away in there?

Believe you me, Micah, Midnight Show was 11 or 12.

Hm. I don’t know tons of Killers songs, but the few I know — I like.
I’m going to take a minute and comment on the “bigger than Led Zeppelin or Nirvana” idea, though. I will start by saying that I like the Killers. But so much of their sound and looks remind me of the good things about other (past) bands. I don’t think that is the makings of a great, great band. People remember Led Zeppelin and Nirvana because they changed the whole sound of music at the moment they entered the music scene.
I know that’s debatable, but I just don’t think the Killers have enough originality to be that big.
