Franz Ferdinand vs. The Killers

[FullonEdge2]

Which one do you consider better? Both bands have interesting sounds, but I really haven't gotten into them. Should I give them a shot?

 

[Zoomerang96]

oh come on.

franz ferdinand has been dead for over 90 years, and like the band, he's still more relevant.

 

[FullonEdge2]

If I'm reading that right, you're saying the dead Franz Ferdinand is still more relevant than the Killers?

Alrighty

 

[u2popmofo]

Franz is definitely my pick.

 

[dano]

Killers for me!

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

Both overrated, and neither is very original despite the hype!

 

[ADecentMelody]

Killers all the way. Zoom, only time will tell who can withstand time's test. I just cannot stand so many more songs in the FF CD vs. the Killers CD. Case in point, Tell Her Tonight.

The Killers may sound more mainstream, but their songs actually have deeper meanings than the obvious. They're also good instrumentalists as evidenced in their numerous acoustical performances.

I'm sure I'll post more later...

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I like both, each in their own way.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

If nothing else, they sound really good together on mix CDs.

 

[Zoomerang96]

mr. brightside is a good song.

take me out, darts of pleasure, auf achse, jacqueline, this fire, and tell her tonite are very good songs.

tsar nicholas II is still my favourite at the moment.

Actually, Bear, "This F-f-fire" is better than "This Fire"

[Zoomerang96]

you're such a clown...

"The Dark of the Matinee" (FF) is a pretty damn sexy song, so I'll go with FF, although when I gave Hot Fuss a chance I really did dig it.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

you're such a clown...

If you position your screen just right, we're both winking sexily at the same time...

 

[Zoomerang96]

the small joys of life.

Here's a ranking of my "new" CDs from best to worst (and worst just means least good):

The Killers - Hot Fuss
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Interpol - Antics
Keane - Hopes and Fears
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News

Arcade Fire and Interpol are very damned close. Keane took a while, but it's definitely a grower. I'll be able to compare live acts here in the next few weeks/months as well since Interpol (tomorrow), Modest Mouse (next month) and The Killers (in May) are all coming to town.

By the way, thanks to all here for the musical discussions. It prompted to go out and get these great CDs.

[Bunbury]

I like Killers, no like Franz

 

[Vertigo Fly]

Franz Ferdinand by a long way. This is a excellent band who will be around for a while!

 

[Dutch Partygirl]

Franz Ferdinand! The reason: they don't suck live, The Killers do.

 

[Saracene]

Franz Ferdinand, although I like Killers too.

 

[phanan]

I have both CDs, and while I like Franz Ferdinand's sound, the Killers CD as a whole is better.

 

[Dragonfave]

Killers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Franz

 

[beau2ifulday]

Franz - they've got the whole package. Their style is pretty original, the music is great, and they are amazing live. The Killers are good, but not great. I'm not so sure they'll be able to sustain themselves.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Franz all the way.

I tried to give Hot Fuss a listen the other day. After the fourth track, I turned the fucker off and I have no desire to hear anymore. Me no likey at all, so to speak

 

[Bonochick]

I love them both...I go back and forth as to which I prefer. However, if I sit down to listen to each of them, I'm more likely to skip over a couple Killers tracks than a couple of FF tracks.

 

[ZeroDude]

The Killers by far

 

[Laura M]

Franz Ferdinand, after hearing a few Killers songs I really just lost interest, they just didn't grab my attention.

They own the Brit Awards this year, they have been nominated for something like 7 awards.

 

[U2girl]

From what I saw on MTV, Killers.

I just about spit out my drink because of the order, but good choices overall.

Anyhoo, The Killers own Franz Ferdinand. In my opinion, there's really not much contest.
