I don't know why but I am annoyed if I listen to stuff like this. Does anyone know what it is about these guys? Perhaps it is background music with a bit more. ? Oh, okay i am ready to turn off the sound now for this tune.

BTW, Just because I might mute my speaker for a tune doesn't mean I am annoyed with RP like some listeners. who constantly complain about the diverse mixes? I  Listen to Radio Paradise because it gives me opportunity to explore new, diverse sounds beyond my comfort and current knowledge. Thanks RP!

I couldn't agree more, bam23.  I saw the same performance. I absolutely do not understand the mass appeal of these guys. They are not horrible only because thay are not distinctive enough to be either wonderful or horrible.  People are drawn to RP I think to get away from all the faceless, souless, musical nonsense that dominates the airwaves.  These guys are contributors to that white noise.  A complete waste of time and stream space IMHO.  3

I really started growing tired of The Killers.
But this is the first time I've heard this song... it's a little different... not bad.
It's like someone mixed together Paul Simon, Killers, and Keane.

I hear "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads

I know nothing about this band. However, they performed on SNL last weekend and the singing was really pretty awful. I know there is a contingent of commenters here who take every chance to denigrate Dylan and others for their singing voices, but there is the unrefined, or raw, or unique style, then there is just bad and far off key, as represented by the Killers performance. The band in general seemed pretty generic and undistinguished, although they appear to have managed some radio success.

oh hush, haters

SNL is NOT a venue to critique, as every band sounds horrible on their stage for some reason (sucky acoustics?)

Killers is a FUN band and this song makes my head and butt bounce every time it comes on

ooga chucka indeed

This song borrows a lot from Road to Nowhere.

This song is gay... all the gay chantin in be back groud...

Brandon Flowers (lead singer, The Killers) likes being a bit "ambiguous", so I'm sure he'd be quite flattered by the comparison. I think Freddie was in a class of his own, as a vocalist, though.

I've seen these guys live (only once, mind you, so it may have been an "off night"). The musicianship was stellar, but the singing was pretty flat. And that's being kind. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they used a lot of "Pro Tools" on their studio recordings.

Solid 4, from here.

I shouldn't like this, but I do.
