it has been a shit year for music, truth be told.
i dunno though, i can see why people would dislike Flamingo, but i have major love for it, however irrational said love is.
it's uplifting, catchy, has some great lyrics in it and it has the sort of epic quality that i look for in music.
Originally posted by wangmaster:Heligoland and High Violet are both great i'll admit, and the new KoL album is pretty good, but i still think last year was far better in terms of quality, both in the charts and not.
but then again i'm not a big fan of the other bands you listed, so i'm bound to have a different opinion.
Originally posted by LikeASong:Last night I went to a pub called Independance Club where mostly indie rock is played... There was a The Killers+Kings Of Leon party and I was there only for an hour (had to come back home soon, exams and all), but it was great having the FULL pub singing along "It's indie rock and roll for me, it's all I need". It was a great moment, and the closest to a live The Killers experience I ever had. There were of course the previsible When You Were Young, Mr. Brightside, Human etc moments, but seeing a crowded club singing along to a non-album song really touched me.
I wish they confirmed they're back together and just about to make an extensive world tour!! I want to see them live
Originally posted by LikeASong:I prefer Sam's Town as a whole too, but the first half of Hot Fuss has defined the indie rock. If Hot Fuss would have contained When You Were Young, Sam's Town and This River Is Wild (preferibly instead of Andy, Midnight and Natalie), it would be the best album of the decade.
