All 5 of us laughed for quite some time when we discussed the fact their album was called "Onka's Big Mokka". We all agreed it's literally the worst album name of all time, by one of the worst bands of all time. The people camping next to us had I Am The Resurrection blasting as I was putting up my tent, and I was thinking to myself 'these will do for me'. Next song that came on...Dancing In The Moonlight.

Odessa Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Right I'm a bit pissed so apologise if I'm not up to date on the thread, but I remember Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll getting slated, one of the best songs of all time...also, I get why the later Killers stuff gets slated. But the early stuff is amazing. Hot Fuss is incredible, and Sam's Town is a perfect 10/10. My favourite album ever. Not expecting everyone to agree with that, obviously, but would ask everyone at least give it a proper listen before slagging it off.

Duncan Doughnuts Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I quite like it when a thread descends into a game of "Shit Band/Song Top Trumps"!!! Dodgy's 'Good Enough' never fails to boil my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Saw the killers headline t in the park in 2013. I was probably very drunk but I remember really enjoying it. I reckon they had some tunes back in the day but that's really where they should be left. No way would they be considered anywhere near pyramid headliners now in my opinion. At T they did a cover of tiffanys - I think we're alone now. Sticks in my mind as it was obvious 90% of the crowd had no idea what was happening and also I had no idea that I was going to belt it out word for word..... Shameful scenes :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Sams Town is better than the first one. I don't think I've heard any albums after that one. They're headliners or nothing at the moment, which is why they'll not be booked for a long time. Sure they played Wembley last time they were over here.

Futurism Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I don't mind The Killers but surely Pearl Jam would be a better choice. I did think Foo Fighters were going to play in 2017 though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my first time seeing The Killers but it was the James and Gaslight Anthem support that swayed me to get a ticket at the last minute. It was a brilliant day. And seeing a band at Wembley is always an experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel sorry for you. The band that properly got me into music when I was little managed to put out a second album that I loved even more. It's definitely got the nostalgia aspect helping its case but I genuinely love every song. Plenty of albums you'd probably consider more reputable I love nearly as much (Sound of Silver by LCD, In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull by The Cribs, Relationship of Command by At The Drive-in, Doolittle by Pixies...) but no need to feel sorry for me there. Out of interest, what's your favourite of all time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
