I don't believe the Killers have been around anywhere near 20 years. If their album was one of the greatest of the past 20 years I'm sure I would have heard some hype about it.

He was right. Sam's Town was one of the best albums in 20 years. :D

First of all, this picture is probably the worst one they could find, and it was taken THREE years ago. When you look at the other musicians on this list, they're all legendary. Watch for a list of "classic albums" about 20 years from now. I'm sure The Killers' fans won't rub it in your face too hard.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but Mr. Flowers was completely correct with that statement. Sam's Town WAS one of the best albums of the past twenty years, if not the best. There's nothing wrong with a bit of confidence from a musician. I'd rather have a musician that believes fully in his work, rather than one who shrinks when it comes to promoting himself.
And for the record, that picture of Brandon is probably 3 years old. It really angers me that you idiotic scenesters who supposedly know EVERYTHING about music are too dumb to realise that Brandon isn't a little androgynous pretty boy who heads a disco infused band. That was Hot Fuss. That was 4 years ago. They've got this new album now...y'know. Sam's Town? Mustaches? Heard of it? If you're going to use a recent quote, use a recent picture. Misrepresenation is well, exactly that. Deciving.

Mr. Flowers is beautiful. Sam's Town is one of the best albums EVER!! The Killer's have a way of singing to my soul. It really is a bad picture of him, but an awesome quote. That's not cockiness, it's confidence!!!

OMG your album had 2 hits and I feel bad for you because if your girlfriend looked like my girlfriend in February of last year, you were dating a mythical beast from star wars! There are about a thousand records I'd put in front of yours in the last 30years. You didn't relate to peoples lives, you didn't pose questions to life, you didnt kill yourself after its release because you thought it was wrong for the time. Your not as big as you think you are. Even though i know he'll never read this.

are all of you joking? or just extremely ignorant? The Killers are NOTHING like the "scene" music out today or the extremely disgraceful "pete wentz." Also, The Killers do NOT sound like The Cure, and they certainly do not "try their best to" you're a fucking idiot. Please stop making ignorant comments.
