When I pitched the idea a couple of months ago that we have a new rate for The Killers… this was the response;

QUOTE(Dexton @ Dec 24 2023, 04:57 PM) *
Absolutely, please go for it! I can’t believe it’s been over FIVE YEARS since I did this. Wowee
QUOTE(Y @ Dec 24 2023, 06:04 PM) *
I would love for there to be a new Killers rate as well!
QUOTE(Michael Bubré @ Dec 24 2023, 06:08 PM) *
Would be here for it too especially as I didn't take part in this one x
QUOTE(Rockin Roba @ Dec 24 2023, 10:21 PM) *
I'd be up for a Killers rate
QUOTE(Christmasteve201 @ Dec 27 2023, 08:48 AM) *
Same here such an iconic band!
QUOTE(Mangø @ Dec 30 2023, 11:16 PM) *
Did someone say Killers rate? I'm in!
QUOTE(One_For_Sorrow @ Jan 18 2024, 07:55 PM) *
Wouldn’t be against it. smile.gif

So here we are, welcome to The Killers Singles rate 2024! welcome.gif

The last one was hosted in 2018 by Dexton, so it’s certainly a good time to revisit their singles and rate your favourites.

So let’s get this event underway…

Rules
Rate every single between 0 and 10
You may use one 11 and one -1, but these are optional
Half marks are allowed, but please no 10.5 or 0.5!
YouTube links and Spotify Playlists are supplied below
Christmas singles may be rated too but this is optional and, as before, the results for those songs will be separate!

Yes I suppose so, I don’t think it alters the overall outcome if you do that.

Looking forward to relistening through a few for this! Mainly the early ones, as I’m more than familiar with the post-Battle Born stuff.

It’s a shame they never released an official single from Pressure Machine.

Out of interest, how have you decided what a 'single' is and isn't? Some strange choices.

I'm pretty sure those listed were all official singles, nothing strange about it!

'Somebody Told Me' FTW! cheer.gif

Yeah I used Wikipedia’s list of official singles to make the list, it should be the same as Dexton’s list from 2018 with the additional singles since that time.

It's interesting isn't it. 'Fire in Bone' and 'Dying Breed' were never sent to radio, were more instant grat songs or promo singles I believe, in the same way 'Wonderful Wonderul' and 'Some Kind Of Love' were from the Wonderful Wonderful album but they don't make the list. Whereas 'Blowback', from ITM, not on the list, was sent to radio.

'Quiet Town' from PM has a music video and was sent to radio in the US at least.

But yes agree the Wikipedia list is the best to go with! Just find it interesting what does and doesn't count as a 'single' today.
