I'm tired of being found out on here. I'm fixing to ruin another thread, I just need about 15 minutes to think of something clever to say

CFH sounds grumpy today.

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.

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.

And never heard the Strokers. Sound like a bunch of nelly belly's to me JK Mick.

Wanna join in?

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...

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.

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

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.
