ZaziGuado 08/08/21 2:16:28 PM #20:	My experience with The Killers is basically the singles off their first three albums. The Killers put out a good single. Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine - First songs on the first album of a band's discography hold a certain significance. The Killers did pretty good with this one. I really love the combination of the synth and funky bass pluck. Mr. Brightside - It's sort of amazing to me how this became such a defining song of singalong music. I'm not mad about it, though. That opening verse followed by the chorus will set almost any group of people of a certain generation off. Any band would be wise to have this playable in their arsenal. I don't remember Mr. Brightside being an instant classic, moreso one that just kind of simmered and won people over the longer it stayed within pop culture until it reach iconic status. Smile Like You Mean It - For some reason, and I don't know why, I always get this song and Read My Mind (the superior song imo) mixed up in my mind. I also hated this song for whatever reason the first time I heard it. Something about his droning voice I think. I must not have picked up the slick synth line because that's what makes the song. Somebody Told Me - First singles from a band's discography are also significant. The Killers also did pretty good with this one as well, though I think has been largely eclipsed by so many other singles over the course of their career. Still a fun song. All These Things That I've Done - Easily my favorite song on this album. The breakdown in the middle is iconic to me. The soaring guitars are a ton of fun. I really appreciate Brandon Flowers' vocals on this one. And then we enter the later portion of the album and things get less interesting because The Killers frontloaded the album with all the singles that I've heard over the last 15 years and I don't feel like talking about the rest of the album with nothing to look forward to. All These Things That I've Done Mr. Brightside Smile Like You Mean It Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine Somebody Told Me On Top Andy, You're A Star Midnight Show Change Your Mind Everything Will Be Alright Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll Believe Me Natalie --- snowpork azuarc is OP. <cite>ZaziGuado posted [p:956895274] in Rank the T...
