September 5, 2024Sep 5 Congratulations spiceboy on voting for the whole Top 9! The Killers didn’t quite keep the standard up after their first couple of albums but they do have some more recent huge anthems like “Caution”. Really enjoyed seeing them a couple of months ago after a colleague sold her tickets because she wanted to watch the football. Favourites are probably “When You Were Young”, “All These Things That I’ve Done” and “Somebody Told Me”, with “Human”, “Mr Brightside” and “Read My Mind” not far off. :o I didn't even notice that! Sam's Town is their best album, easily.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 The Killers are a great singles band. My favourite album was Day & Age, but I haven't really loved a full album of theirs since the 00s. They weren't particularly in contention for my top 30 but they have some fantastic classics.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 ‘Spiceboys favourite group’ 😂 Genuinely though The Killers would climb, seems 3 groups that were at outside the top 10 have leapfrogged them, although I expect them to be 7, 8 and 9
September 5, 2024Sep 5 Reasonable result for The Killers, though part of me thought they’d finish higher.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 Happy to see The Killers up here, though they didn't make my votes. I've got most of their albums but just don't find myself going back to them that much. However a few specific songs I love and will still play often (e.g. Tranquilize, Read My Mind, Dustland Fairytale) Coldplay a bit similar (fave songs being Champion Of The World, Up And Up, Us Against The World) but their old stuff has aged better for me hence giving them a chunk of points.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 The Killers got my 10 points last time, but an upgrade to 27 after last year's synthtatsic 'Your Side Of Town' has helped them leapfrog Coldplay and stay top 10 in the rate. My favourites: 'When You Were Young', 'Mr Brightside' and 'Somebody Told Me' (I do be basic)
September 5, 2024Sep 5 ‘Spiceboys favourite group’ 😂 :lol: petition to rename the thread this please! :lol:
September 5, 2024Sep 5 Great start to the top 10 with the Killers, im happy to see them hold in their the same as last year.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 The Killers are one of the best modern rock bands, no doubt about it. As an albums band, they didn't *quite* live up to their debut but they've got so many iconic songs it's unreal (at least five of them better than the now annoyingly overplayed 'Mr Brightside'). My favourite will always remain 'Somebody Told Me' with 'Shot At The Night' a close second. It's a shame I missed out on seeing them live this summer.
September 5, 2024Sep 5 Killers would likely make it to a top 40 or 50 most likely as I do like a lot of their tracks and wish other songs of theirs would have the same level of popularity of 'Mr Brightside' would. Wonder if one of mine will be out next 🤔 can also see mixed group dropping out next too though.
September 6, 2024Sep 6 For a Buzzjack poll I’m surprised to see The Killers this high but I did rank them fairly highly as I’ve always really liked them on the whole and they have a great discography. Still yet to see them live.
September 6, 2024Sep 6 I imagine if you did a national poll The Killers might also have a shot at the Top 10, unlike a few who are ahead of them. :cool:
September 6, 2024Sep 6 ‘Spiceboys favourite group’ 😂 Genuinely though The Killers would climb, seems 3 groups that were at outside the top 10 have leapfrogged them, although I expect them to be 7, 8 and 9 More like 5, 6, 7, 8...
September 6, 2024Sep 6 If I has been around to vote on this, The Killers would have been in my Top 3, so really pleased to see them inside the Top 10 here :D Edited September 6, 2024Sep 6 by ChrisJK

September 6, 2024Sep 6 Deserved top 10 place for PSB. I've seen them live twice, they're brilliant. I still buy every album they release and unlike many acts of their vintage, the albums remain consistently high quality and they still have meaningful and interesting topics to write about. Of course, their 80s catalogue speaks for itself - an astonishing run of high quality singles. I love a lot of their 90s material just as much too.
September 6, 2024Sep 6 Great to have PSB in the Top 10. I think my favourites are “Always On My Mind” (way better than any other version), “It’s A Sin” and “Left To My Own Devices”. It’s all become rather cliff edge for me as my remaining scores are 30-29-28-0-0-0-0-0.
September 6, 2024Sep 6 Absolutely delighted to see the PSB in the top 10, their discography (particularly 'Discography' :D) is exceptional! Agree with the above comment too, they are incredible live and they are still releasing great quality albums! I know I gave them 28 points but honestly there's not much between my top 5 bands.
