{ The Killers vs. The Strokes }

[LEGION]

Mick you might like this; maybe you've heard it already. Great band imo; cool vid. You'll have to go to youtube to hear a better quality vid as the best sounding one can't be embedded.

The Strokes easily IMO.

Nobody I know likes them but the first two albums are very good IMO. I actually liked the second one better I think. Probably has their best song, Reptilia. Third's a bit meh I agree.

Good stuff Ouma...

It's not easy for me to side with 1.
Julius is an animal with lyrics man and Is This It? is top album.
I like 12:51 a little more then Reptillia but both quality songs...

[Von Milash]

I love the strokes, Juicebox, You only Live once, reptilia are some of my favourite songs. I get over the Killers pretty quickly, but can listen to the strokes all the time

My favorite Strokes song. I don't listen to much of their stuff, but I love this song.

[Gandalf]

I like both bands a lot.

I wasnt keen on Hot Fuss, though it did have some standout tracks. Mr Brightside, All these things Ive done, Jenny was a friend of mine. Sam's town is a step up IMO and really goes for the jugular. There only track that that falls short for me is Bones. Its a quality album full of hooks and melody.

Is this it? is a wonderful record. It sounds good, has an edgy feel to the production. Casablancas sounds like a stoned Lou Reed. It barely puts a foot wrong. Since then the Strokes have perhaps fallen back. Theyve made quality tracks, but not a truly cohesive album since the first.

Tough call to pick between the two though. Conpletely different sounds too.

For me music doesn't really fall into classifications.
I see it all as one genre and if something is good to listen too I listen to it.

This means I like a lot of rap, some dance or Techno, lots of Rock, a little metal and even some pop.

The Killers are a band that catch my ear. Not just with Mr. Brightside or Bones or Read my Mind, with every song.

Sams town was a marvellous album and they're at the top of their game supplying more.

I like the Strokes, but their hiatus has cost them their spot here.

[RozzySean]

They both suck. I suppose The Killers suck less. Both are vastly overrated. I've tried to like them and given them many chances, but I find the both very boring and unoriginal. The both tend to repeat the same meter and beats over and over. Almost every song is in the same key. They are lazy ass songwriters. When they bother to spend the time to work out melody and properly develop a song, they produce a few some good individual tracks, but god help me if I have to listen to a whole album.

Legion, you gotta be fuckin kiddin me, The Bravery? I saw them last year and literally walked out they were so bad. Shiny Toy Guns played before them and were 10x better, and I had never heard STG until that night. All they do is rip of 80's bands and do it poorly. One of there songs is pretty much a direct lift from New Order. The Bravery are so bad they make The Strokes and The Killers seem like Radiohead and The Clash in comparison.

Maybe I'm an old fart, but pretty much everything those bands do was done better already by somebody else. There are plenty of new bands I like, but I get bored real fast of straight quarter notes.

My god, Mick, I'm speechless. Please tell me you don't own a Simple Plan record? I order you to immediately buy the Stiff Little Fingers anthology, a couple of Clash and Buzzcocks albums and lock yourself in your room with it until you see the error of your ways. That goes for the rest of you out there, too.

[El Kabong]

I despise the MTV created Teeny Bop Punk.....once your testicles drop you might be able to listen to some REAL music.

That being said I think The Killers and The Strokes are outside of that group.....Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, AFI or any of the other EMO bands should all be loaded onto a rocket and shot into the Sun
