the awesome thing i haven't heard any of these without realizing it.

THE KILLERS

― Jake Sexchamp (Matt P), Sunday, 23 November 2008 12:25 (seventeen years ago)

They wear nice clothes. And half these songs are acceptable music. But, those clothes!

― Germany's second-favourite Australian fat leg spin bowler (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 23 November 2008 12:30 (seventeen years ago)

seriously

― Jake Sexchamp (Matt P), Sunday, 23 November 2008 12:31 (seventeen years ago)

He's got a good tailor, that kid.

― Germany's second-favourite Australian fat leg spin bowler (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 23 November 2008 12:40 (seventeen years ago)

Too bad we can't say the same for whoever shaves him.

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Sunday, 23 November 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

True, true. You'd think he could afford to go to one of those old-timey barbers who work on the facial hair. Surely they'd have one of them in Vegas?

― Germany's second-favourite Australian fat leg spin bowler (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 23 November 2008 13:22 (seventeen years ago)

extravagant clothes on rock stars really freak you guys out, eh?

― cutty, Sunday, 23 November 2008 13:28 (seventeen years ago)

I just appreciate the good work of the man's tailor!

― Germany's second-favourite Australian fat leg spin bowler (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 23 November 2008 13:32 (seventeen years ago)

where's the JLC remix of "Mr Brightside"? Or the Pet Shop Boys remix of "Read Your Mind"?

Otherwise, "Human," actually. It encapsulates their absurd appeal.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 23 November 2008 14:43 (seventeen years ago)

Haha no way have they followed Human with a song called Spaceman.

― Chopper Aristotle (Matt DC), Sunday, 23 November 2008 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

tworld's most obnoxious band; facially and musically. only good one is jlc remix of 'mr brightside'. jeez i hate their faces.

KILL IT WITH FIRE

― brightscreamer, Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:01 (seventeen years ago)

"Mr. Brightside." It doesn't encapsulate their entire appeal because it's better than that.

― da croupier, Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:31 (seventeen years ago)

the christmas singles (plural! hit #42 and #73 on the US pop 100, respectively) should be on here, yo.

also "Shadowplay," (hit #43)

― da croupier, Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

Great singles band. When You Were Young is the winner, but they all sound great on the radio.

― kornrulez6969, Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

On a level playing field I'd go for "When You Were Young" but I voted for "Bones" because it's their only really slept on single.

― dumb pseud (some dude), Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:44 (seventeen years ago)

Obv. "Mr. Brightside" will win, but I think this is a really hard question. I love all of these songs and will probably vote "All These Things I've Done" (or maybe "When You Were Young" or "Tranquilize")

― Trik Turner Fan Club President (Tape Store), Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:47 (seventeen years ago)

don't you want to come with me?
don't you want to feel my bones...on your bones?
it's only natural!

― Trik Turner Fan Club President (Tape Store), Sunday, 23 November 2008 20:56 (seventeen years ago)

When You Were Young >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the other ones.

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 23 November 2008 21:49 (seventeen years ago)

All about Somebody Told Me.

― chap, Sunday, 23 November 2008 23:35 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Thursday, 27 November 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

This poll is a reminder of why this is the BEST alt-rock band in the world at this moment.

― makeitpop, Thursday, 27 November 2008 05:30 (seventeen years ago)

Smile Like You Mean It

― winston, Thursday, 27 November 2008 06:04 (seventeen years ago)

my answer is "Mr. Brightside" like probably most of ILM, they also did a great cover of that Joy Division song. don't really care about the rest but won't switch it off if it comes on the radio but it still is just the Killers so...

― Bee OK, Thursday, 27 November 2008 07:41 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Friday, 28 November 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

Too bad no more votes for "Human". Their best ever.

― Geir Hongro, Friday, 28 November 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

just me and you, geir

― cutty, Friday, 28 November 2008 03:40 (seventeen years ago)

I would've brought Mr. Brightside up to tied 1st

― milling through the grinder, grinding through the mill (S-), Friday, 28 November 2008 04:19 (seventeen years ago)

When you were young? Really?

― Mark G, Friday, 28 November 2008 08:38 (seventeen years ago)

that song is awesome.

― dumb pseud (some dude), Friday, 28 November 2008 13:39 (seventeen years ago)

i blame rock band

― cutty, Friday, 28 November 2008 13:42 (seventeen years ago)

if people are only voting for it because "lol that bassline is mad easy to play" then that's dumb, but it's still cool that it won.

― dumb pseud (some dude), Friday, 28 November 2008 13:49 (seventeen years ago)

four years pass...

they say the devil's water it ain't so sweet

― markers, Saturday, 3 August 2013 03:04 (twelve years ago)

you don't have to drink right now

― markers, Saturday, 3 August 2013 03:04 (twelve years ago)

can we climb this mountain? i don't know

― some dude, Saturday, 3 August 2013 03:10 (twelve years ago)

I love "Human", but I have to ignore those lyrics. So awkward.

― LeRooLeRoo, Sunday, 4 August 2013 09:29 (twelve years ago)

holy shit the dude from travis cowrote "here with me"?

― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:15 (twelve years ago)

'and i'm on my knees, looking for the answer:
are we human? or are we dancer?'

Seriously, no other band in the world could have done what the killers did to those lyrics. It's not exactly 'good', but still... remarkable.

― Frederik B, Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:38 (twelve years ago)

I'm not a native anglophone. Maybe it gets lost on me.

― LeRooLeRoo, Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:41 (twelve years ago)

best part of that song is that its youtube comments are invariably an argument over whether it's "dancer" or "denser"

― one yankee sympathizer masquerading as a historian (difficult listening hour), Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:42 (twelve years ago)

ARE WE HUMAN?
OR ARE WE DENSER?

― one yankee sympathizer masquerading as a historian (difficult listening hour), Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:42 (twelve years ago)

my karaoke version of "Human" is a killer

― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:43 (twelve years ago)

ho!

Well, neither am I. And I sometimes wonder whether Brandon Flowers is as well...

― Frederik B, Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:53 (twelve years ago)

is he human

― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 4 August 2013 18:55 (twelve years ago)

four years pass...

Are we dancer??

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 30 September 2017 01:49 (eight years ago)

I finally feel validated! I’ve been saying for years to my friends that “when you were young” is the best Killers song. Might be their only song which evokes any emotion in me.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 30 September 2017 09:00 (eight years ago)

'Mr. Brightside' is the best thing they ever did.
