Posted April 6, 200718 yr what do u think is the killers most over and under rated single to date please try and explain why you think that also
April 6, 200718 yr Good thread to express our points of view. To be honest I don't think there's an overrated single by them, all of their singles have had several degrees of success and their biggest hits have made Top 3 without reaching No.1. Maybe if we talk about airplay, "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me" and "When You Were Young" were killed by overplay and that maybe makes them overrated, but I don't think they're as the 3 songs are amazing in the first place. Nevertheless, "When You Were Young" was their biggest hit reaching UK No.2 when both "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" deserved to be their biggest hit to date, but that's only my opinion. When it comes to underrated, anything by them that hasn't reached the Top 10 is underestimated, in my opinion. But I cannot be objective as I'm a big fan of them. Songs like "All These Things That I've Done", "Smile Like You Mean It", "Bones" and "Read My Mind" all deserved a Top 10 status, but as "All These Things That I've Done" is their smallest hit reaching UK No.18, I guess that's their most underrated single to date, especially when it's a terrific rock number that sounds incredibly anthemic when performed live. And that's how I finish my 300-word essay :lol:
April 6, 200718 yr I don't think any of their songs are particularly over-rated :o All These Things I've Done and Smile Like You Mean It are sort of underrated but the best singles off Hot Fuss did the best in my opinion ^_^

April 6, 200718 yr Author from a fan point of view when you were young is very ove rrated i think and likewise bones was crininally under rated
April 6, 200718 yr i think Somebody Told Me was quite overrated when first released, also WYWY is overplayed a lot on the radio (imo) and as for underrated definitely Mr Brightside and RMM.. saying that though, i still :heart: all their singles, lol
April 6, 200718 yr i love all the singles exceot for when you were young :lol: You really dislike it!!! Oh, well... I love it so much, lol.
April 6, 200718 yr i love all the singles exceot for when you were young my least favourite single is bones -_- :lol: You really dislike it!!! Oh, well... I love it so much, lol. :lol: yeah me too!
April 8, 200718 yr I would say 'Bones' is the most underrated single, because many fans don't seem to rate it much and it had a c**p chart run for a 2nd single off such a big album! I like all their singles, but for most overrated I'd maybe say 'Mr Brightside' as it isn't one of my favourites, but a lot of people seem to disagree. Still a great song though. :)
April 8, 200718 yr With the killers, most stuff is overrated since they're now mega-mainstream, imo. Although everything which is deemed 'underrated' is the stuff which isn't as good as the 'overrated' stuff :P so it works in a weird way

April 8, 200718 yr Over-rated = Bones Under-rated = On Top I love "On Top", it doesn't seem to do too well in our boots and immunes, though :(
