There has been a lot of debate here in the UK about The Killers being heavily influenced by early eighties UK bands, which I beleive is correct & no bad thing. However I don`t think we`ve had any influential bands here in the UK in the last 15 years. In my opinion the best bands of the last few years have been Grandaddy, The Stokes, The Walkmen, The White Stripes & now The Killers.
P.S My favourite band of all time & one of the most influential ever were JOY DIVISION.
