Have all headlined and since played elsewhere. Sure there'll be more if I think or Google. 

New Order have headlined and subbed the Pyramid and headliner Other I believe.

We were talking about Toploader on the journey down to the festival this year. 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.

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.

i think you need to go back and give it a proper listen if you think it's a 10/10 album and your favourite album ever  distinctly average album that just happens to have their best song on it (When We Were Young)

[Duncan Doughnuts]

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.

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 :-)

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.

Brandon Flowers coming at you, singing about feeling something in his bone.

You need to stop telling people this. One of these days you'll say it at a party, and the world's biggest Toto fan will be there and want to wreck you. And I won't stop him. 

I'm pretty comfortable I could take them. Them and their big hair.

I know everyone's entitled to their opinion and all that, BUT, Sam's Town by The Killers is your favourite album of all time? I really feel sorry for you.

In these dark days, at a time of uncertainty, unrest and division, its good to know that appalling album titles are still with us.

Ladies and gentlemen, i give you the sub sixth-form pseudo-profound latest opus from Primal Scream.

Chaosmosis

Man, i but they were chopping self-congratulatory lines out with abandon for the rest of the weekend after they'd come up with that gem.

The 1975 surely get appalling album title of the year with this beauty..

[Futurism]

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..

Yeah they did. I went to that gig and loved it. 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.

That is nauseating

BAN THIS SICK FILTH. Possibly one of the worst covers of all time and I don't mind the killers.

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?

Let's not get The Killers' and Adele's song titles mixed up, yeah?

When You Were Young is amazing but not even the best on the album.

Its trying to be "sweet", but is more Hanibal Lecter than anything else.

Up there with the mighty Orbison's Drove All Night for that.

Was just looking for a yes or no answer tbh, but yea, cool.
