The Killers is by far the most overrated band to ever exist. They suck on all levels and people treat them like the next coming of Mozart. Overrated in the context of the question means that the band is given accolades they did not earn. I'm not a big fan of the Beatles, but they earned the right to be the best selling artists of all time. Elvis earned the right to be called The King. Zeppelin earned the right to be the best rock band ever. The Killers didn't do shit besides dub themselves "most influential and important band" of the decade. If they weren't smug assholes, I probably wouldn't care, but their attitude of deserved praise for essentially being a mediocre indie band earns them nothing but my severe and unmitigated hate. AC/DC, on the other hand, continues to pump out good, predictable rock albums and expects nothing from anyone other than to have a good time. Has anyone ever heard of Clutch? They suck at self promotion, but you'll never see a better live show.
In closing, fuck The Killers.
I approve of this post.
