it's just not really correct to say they had anything to do with alternative music. no different than arguing that Link Wray was a punk musician |

killers should be on the high alternative list

The Killers have some good songs but their sound is The Strokes + Interpol + Springsteen and they are basically a major label radio bitch act. LOW ALTERNATIVE.

killers are mid-high alternative overall (as i stated in the sam's town thread) though that does not necessarily reflect the quality of their songwriting. hot fuss >>> everything after. the killers have a fairly distinctive sound because of brandon flower's voice (one of the best male rock vocalists of the last 10 years imo) and the driving, emotive quality of their tunes distinguishes them from other synth/guitar-driven bands of recent years, who are usually more angular and post-punk. but i feel that the killers' sound is just slightly too unrefined and loose to be considered high alternative. that's not necessarily a bad thing though. they're a good, honest band- in my opinion they occasionally they try too hard, but they're not pretentious. remember, high-alt just means having such a meticulously crafted aesthetic that the music feels suspended from reality. if you listen to the pumpkins' mellon collie, it doesn't sound like a garage band from chicago, it sounds like a found recording, like "a psychedelic metal band from the 1920s" as corgan said. if you listen to Muse, they've taken the concept of "space-rock" so literally that they sound like they're actually from another galaxy. if you listen to radiohead's more ambitious material (OKC etc), their music is so sonically varied and incomparable that it seems to exist in its own musical and cerebral dimension. high alternative is about completely immersing the listener or viewer in hyper-reality, whether its something high-concept and grandiose (sp, radiohead, muse) or something twee or cartoonish (deerhoof, white stripes.)

uh, his voice literally sounds like he stole half of it from the guy from Interpol and the other half from the guy in the Strokes. Not distinctive at all...

Isle I do not recall you having such spotty tastes in music. Your Limp Bizkit defense is baffling
