battle of the the's-killers or bravery
who ya got? Who do you think will be more successful? I have both albums and I enjoy both.
__________________However, the lead singer(flowers) of the Killers cannot write a song to save his life. Some of his lyrics are quite puzzling. The bravery CD is very impressive, however, I have only listened to it a few times so far(bought it a couple days ago). Does anyone know anything about the Bravery? I know this is their first cd and all but how old are they? I know their lead singer has been in a band before, but thats about it. |

yea, with the dreads. HAHAHAHAAHa, Hey but one of the band members from killers was is a ska band as well. I read in blender a while back Mr Flowers was making fun of the Bravery's lead singer for being in a Ska band and called him Non-committed, but one of his own band members did the same. HAHAHA, funny shit

killers
at a push they're both naff, but the Bravery more so. Plus, they both have rubbish names. |

i don't understand flower's point. to be in a rock band that blends 80s electronica with rock, one has to be committed to what, rock or electronica? so what if the singer was in a ska band - ska can be cool.

The Bravery did a cracking An Cat Dubh cover. I'll give them props for that.

I much prefer The Killers. Great tunes they have there. The Bravery are pitiful...plus the name is a complete joke, and I must say their An Cat Dubh cover left me feeling rather worse for wear... |

Gotta go with the Bravery. An Cat Dubh pretty much swayed my decision.
But I also think the Killers are one of the worst bands going now. Monotone vocals and a cookie cutter sound. Terrible, terrible stuff. |

I want to see one of them get arrested, and appear in court with a nice grey suit, no make-up, and their ferret/squirrel hair cut.

flowers said, "how can you defend saying my heart really belongs to what im doing now', you used to be in a ska band.
their drummer ronnie Vannucci was a member of a two tone outfit, Attaboy Skip-Blender I think he thinks ppl can't do other things. oh I guess I should vote which i perfer. I like Bravery better(like I said this is now, cause i need more listens to the CD) But perhaps Killers might have more of future. I dunno........ |

If they did Electric Co. I simply must hear it.
The Killers could get rid of Flowers and hire Ben Stein as their vocalist and I wouldn't notice a difference. Clear Eyes is aawwwwesome |

If anyone has a Bravery cover of Electric Co., please put a YSI link here. I would love to hear it.
My vote goes to The Bravery, for their bad haircuts, love of U2, and overall a better sound than The Killers. After seeing The Killers on SNL, I realized what an awful stage presence The Killers have. The lead singer had no emotion whatsoever, and just stood there the whole time. |

I like The Bravery more! Lyrics are better. Killers lyrics are pure shit but their music is good!
