Honestly, I can only name like 4 Killers songs off the top of my head, and I consider myself a "casual" Killers fan. Interestingly enough, I think their best song to date is "Jenny Was A Friend of Mine," which is a standout primarily due to its phenomenal baseline. The thing that is interesting about that is, when I mention that song to "legitimate" Killers fans, they often don't know which song I am talking about. What can be deduced from that is the fact that even KILLERS FANS don't know many of their songs outside the singles.<BR/><BR/>In short, The Killers produce "albums" that fit in perfectly with today's music model--focus on the singles and the rest is all fuzz.Nightrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141858074146013333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835845587180409232.post-3202016970580797202008-11-20T16:12:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:12:00.000-08:00Nightrain, as our resident party music aficionado,...Nightrain, as our resident party music aficionado, am I being to harsh?
