Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just wanted to say that I really like The Killers.
I actually haven't listened to any of their albums completely, but I just love the songs I have heard from them. I think "When You Were Young" is beautiful, definitely a favorite. I also like Mr. Brightside, Read My Mind, Spaceman, Tranquillize, All These Things That I've Done, etc.
I think I currently prefer Alternative Rock as a genre over Hip-Hop, because I don't really like many hip-hop artists other than Eminem, Kanye, T.I., B.o.B. and a few others here and there. Although, I think this might just be because I'm not exposed to alot of the good Hip-Hop music out there. I don't think Hip-Hop is doing too well right now, although Eminem's comeback is definitely helping.

Edit: I just watched the music video for "Don't Shoot Me Santa" by The Killers- it's pretty funny
