They are so, so 80s good. I love the melancholy rock sound. BUT. I think there are two bands from your list missing: Jack Johnson and The Shins. They changed music forever. Well, Jack Johnson may not have done anything super-new, but he did the acoustic-soft-rock thing better than anyone and made it popular . . .

I saw them first after the release of under the iron sea and once again last summmer. In studio or live, they are amazing and, in my opinion better than killers.

Street Sweeper Social Club??? Rocco DeLuca??? DeadMau5??? Vampire Weekend??? Gnarls Barkley??? The Fray??? Phoenix??? The Black Keys??? This is a top 5 list, not a one hit wonder list. You two need to go back to the drawing board and pound out a real top five list so people stop laughing at you. I don’t know who has a worse list, Tim or Blake. Street Sweeper Social Club???

I would also say bands like Audioslave, Jet, Wolfmother, The Black Keys, Street Sweeper Social Club, Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, Maroon 5, Gnarls Barkley and the Fray are better than DeadMau5 and Vampire Weekend. Sorry to do this to you my friend, but your list has 1 out 5 correct.

Although not as strong said albums, It's Never Been Like That has some good songs too. Anything off Alphabetical or Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is superb, Sara.

But yeah, they're pretty good. Top band of the decade, though? I'll have to think on it. As for Phoenix -- I really like their sound! And I had never heard of them, so yay! New music! :) Hm, I don’t know what’s up with that Killers video . . . But yeah, they’re pretty good. Top band of the decade, though? I’ll have to think on it.
