The Killers
Though a batch of 1980s-New Wave-inspired bands started making noise in the early 2000s, it wasn't until the Killers' 2004 debut album HOT FUSS (and its crossover hits "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside") that the style really broke through to the mainstream. Heavily indebted to the likes of the Smiths, Psychedelic Furs, et al, the Las Vegas, NV quartet brought a contemporary sense of urgency to their retro-loving dance-rock sound and taught a new generation of kids that it doesn't have to be disco to be dance music. For follow-up SAM'S TOWN, the group obviously feasted on a gorge of Bruce Springsteen style rock, and while the sound boasted a slightly harder edge, the group retained the critics' and fans' adoration.

:] I absolutely love The Killers. Their mix of vocals, bass, drums, and piano create an amazing sound that's just irresistible to my ears :] ♥ I don't know how they manage to do it. Nominee for the greatest band of all time if you ask me. I'm sure they'd win. :] ♥ P.S. Big congratulations to Brandon Flowers, and his wife, Tana on their new baby boy :]
