{ The Killers vs. The Strokes }

[CutMeMick]

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...
