{ The Killers vs. The Strokes }
Who do you like?
These are currently my 2 fav. bands of recent times.
Both very original and both very talented.
Distinct voices.
Great lyrics followed by a great sound.
The Killers are more commercial now and The Strokes not so much.
I think the Strokes takes it in the lyrics department Is This It? is full of poetry and great writing by Julius. I will admit that The Killers matured a lot from Hot Fuss to Sam's town. Hot Fuss wasn't good lyrically IMO but wow what a difference with Samstown.
Sound The Killers takes it I think since Hot Fuss they were able to find their own tune and just go with it. I think it's great and it sets above other bands at the moment. Sam's town is full of great tunes like Bones which I think is brilliant tune.
The Strokes - Is This It?
I think the album is poetry man.. My fav. track on there is "Trying Your Luck"
The Killers - Hot Fuss
I think the sound is brilliant for this album and my fav. track on there "Midnight Show" proves just that.
The Strokes - Room on Fire
Again the lyrics are top notch and I think the sound/tunes of it improved proof of that is my fav. track on there "12:51".
The Killers - Sam's town
Fucken superb album and def. album of the year for me. They still sound great and they picked it up on the lyrics depertament proving to people they are not all about sound but can also write top quality music. Proof of that are "Read My Mind", "For Reasons Unknown" & "This River Is Wild".
Just great...
The Strokes - 1st Impressions of Earth
This album was IMO not at all what The Strokes are about part of that was due to the break up from their producer. It has some good music, my fav. track on there is Juice Box.
The Killers are currently working on their album "Day & Age" and is due out in the following months before the end of the year.
The Strokes have taken loooooong overdue break from all this 2 yrs. I think. I believe they've started working on a new album but no further news on that yet.
So who's it gonna be The Killers or The Strokes?
Neither... ;D
Re: { The Killers vs. The Strokes }
I can' stand the Killers. The Stokes are ok at best, but I can't even listen to the Killers.

I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, the Strokes are ok, but I just can't get into the Killers at all. Nothing wrong with them, just not something I like.

I know man...
I was joking myself.. :)
Truth is I myself don't like all that stuff some guys post.
Pantera, Sepultura, Megadeath etc. etc.
Just not my thing.

Stuff like Pantera, Sepultura etc. is definitely not for everyone. I like all sorts of music though, I don't just listen to that stuff. The Killers are a band I feel like I should like, and maybe I would've liked them a few years ago, but they just rub me the wrong way.
God do I ever loathe Megadeth though, can't stand that type of "metal".
Edit: Oh, and fuck Van Halen too.
Re: { The Killers vs. The Strokes }
CFH sounds grumpy today. :p
Gotta go with the Killers. Both bands have a sound which doesn't try to fit in or ask what they should be, but to me simply are.
Not everyone is about lyrics, and I don't think it is even really all that necessary. It would sort of negate classical music wihich is timeless to suggest music requires good lyrics. But in this day and age, of hip hop, and trendy pop, where masses listen to what the words are and fashion themselves to them...I like something to think about. Not being told what is what. The Killers do this for me. The Strokes got a great simple raw sound, and are also smart.
So yea, I like em both too. But tip my hat as is noticable, a bit towards The Killers. :)
Re: { The Killers vs. The Strokes }
Hmmm.. I picked the Killers due to not really likeing the strokes... The killers are pretty good though.

I'm really not grumpy today at all, just felt like giving my opinion on the two bands.

So don't listen to it; who asked you anyways?;D Lol
I like The Killers; real fond of Mr. Brightside, Read My Mind, and Somebody Told Me. They remind me of The Bravery.
Re: { The Killers vs. The Strokes }
And never heard the Strokers. Sound like a bunch of nelly belly's to me:lickish: JK Mick.
Re: { The Killers vs. The Strokes }
;DKid, they're your favorite band... Using all that heavy shit like an audio "beard"... I'm on to you.;D

Well YB,
The songs gotta say something.
I hate to hear songs where they are just rhyming words but not saying much.
I hate stupid lyrics I like songs that say something a story or theres a meaning.
One of the worst lyrics I've ever heared/read:
"So happy together, how is the weather"
WTF?
They just rhymed together with weather. That's fucken lame.
