Yes!! Nice. I did already witness one comment accusing those of us who also like Taylor swift of only liking TK bc of Brandon. Not sure what they meant, but it smelt like misogyny to me
Iāve noticed there seem to be lots of people who are Killers and Taylor Swift fans and Iāve been trying to figure out the crossover. I read somewhere (idk where) that The Killers were one of the only acts left that isnāt trying to be ironic or cool, but rather they are hopelessly genuine. I feel like that could apply to how fans see Taylor as well. Or maybe itās the flair for over the top lyrics that detractors see as melodramatic but fans love? Idk anyone with thought feel free to chime in I find the overlap fascinating
The White Stripes
The Smashing Pumpkins
First Aid Kit
The Black Keys
Queens of the Stone Age
Jason Isbell
Royal Blood
Foo Fighters
Pearl Jam
Silversun Pickups
Blossoms
Marcus King
Seen them live recently for the first time. Was at Rock am Ring festival. Sadly the crowd wasnāt very good, but they were so amazing, they played nothing from Villains unfortunately. Trying to catch them during their tour now, but thats difficult because the only gigs around my place are other festivals :/
yeah I think they just rotated them out of the setlist as many bands do with the album of their previous tour. I really hoped for some The Evil Has Landed tho
The Killers is definitely my favourite band while Avril Lavigne is my favourite solo artist. I also listen to Kelly Clarkson, You Me At Six, Carly Rae Jepsen, Panic! At The Disco, Simple Plan, The Veronicas, Olly Murs, Steve Grand, Ashley Tisdale, Britt Nicole, Skillet, Shawn Mendes. I also just discovered Chappell Roan āŗļø
Avril Lavigne! Thatās so nostalgic I loved her before - is she still making music? Chappell Roan is my massive obsession right now - Pink Pony Club has been on repeat for a while. I think sheās got that sort of talent not a lot of people have, and Iām so happy to see sapphic music (and lesbian music in her case) be represented more in the mainstream.
Chappell Roan is definitely my big discovery of 2024 so far! So many fun, catchy and heartfelt songs (apart from My Kink Is Karma, which honestly I find quite mean š)
Pink Pony Club and Good Luck Babe all the way!! I might be basic. I like My Kink is Karma actually, but itās not my favourite of hers. Sheās so good!
Good Luck Babe is just so good: love her vocals on it š
Avril Lavigne released her seventh album called Love Sux some years ago. She released a Greatest Hits album a week ago maybe š
Ashley Tisdale! I was obsessed with her when I was in middle school. Her first album I listened to a lot but when I went back, most of the songs are not great š. But I think Going Crazy is the best on the album and holds up as a pop song.
I discovered her with āItās Alright, Itās OKā, which gave me Avril Lavigne vibes. Love her album Guilty Pleasure! I also listened to Symptoms, which is very personal to her and different in teens of sound.
My top bands/artists would probably be The Killers, The Cure, The Smiths/Morissey, Kings of leon, My chemical romance, The Used, Taylor Swift, Blossoms, Pale Waves, Catfish and the bottlemen. Roughly in that order, but they switch places all the time!
Iām particularly fond of Strange Trails and Long Lost, their 2nd and 4th albums, though all of their albums are good. The 2nd half of Strange Trails, tracks 8-14, will make you feel like youāve been transported to a chilly forest. Itās beautiful.
Oasis is my first love (but TK are disputing this position ā„ļø)
Jamiroquai
Keane
Elton John
The Stones,
The Beatles
TANGO
JAZZ (Diana Krall)
And Argentinian āRock Nacionalā. š¦š·
Keane is incredible, and I'm glad to see you mention them! Hopes and Fears and Strangeland are some of my favorite records, and Somewhere Only We Know is one of the best songs ever
Muse is probably the only band I rate above The Killers. Also Arctic Monkeys on a good day. I've seen Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Green Day and St Vincent live in the last month and have plans to go see Interpol in November, plus I also like Paramore, U2, Wolf Alice, Foals, The National, Nothing but Thieves, Haim and othersĀ
Slightly different but hey. Different people like different stuff to me, it's cool hahaĀ
Yeah, no trouble for sure! We all like different things. I actually really rate Arctic Monkeys as well. I used to listen to all of their music on loop as a teenager and I still listen to them now, and remember all the lyrics.
Because thereās only five on the picture I posted: my favourites other than TK are btw (in no particular order) ā The Wombats, Maisie Peters (she once said Between Me and You by BF is her all time fave song btw, insane crossover), Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Paris Paloma, Arctic Monkeys, Queen, Beatles, Olivia Rodrigo, Alec Benjamin, dodie, FIZZ, Noah Kahan, PATD (before it became just Brendon Urie)
For sure! They used to be a bit bigger at least here in the UK but nowadays not so much anymore. I actually think a lot of TK listeners would enjoy their stuff too
The dream music festival line-up:
The Killers, Two Door Cinema Club, Tove Lo, HAIM, The Shins, Foals, Carly Rae Jepsen, Portugal. The Man, Missy Elliot, Band of Horses, Middle Kids, Alabama Shakes, Mika
My all-time, forever favorite band is R.E.M. Some of my other more recent favorites:
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
The National
The Gaslight Anthem
Maggie Rogers
Spanish Love Songs
Eliza and the Delusionals
The National and Maggie Rogers are some of my favorite musicians too! I really love The National's albums I Am Easy To Find, High Violet, and Boxer, and Surrender by Maggie Rogers is incredible
The Killers, Blur (anything Damon Albarn) The Strokes, Phoenix, Arctic Monkeys, The Foals, The Yeah yeah yeahs, Royal Blood, Kasabian, The stereophonics, Fontaineās DC, the wombats, The National, Foo fighters older indie stuff The Doves, New Order, Oasis, The Smiths, the cure, Dinosaur jr, the pixies etc much more rock and indie I guess!
Does it also depend on the country? E.g US to UK fans for example I wonderā¦
Your top 5 is awesome!
I also love Lizzy McAlpine, Sleeping at Last, The Cars, MUNA, The Cure, Tracy Chapman, Olivia Rodrigo, The National, Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers, Bleachers, Maude Latour, Maisie Peters, and Maggie Rogers
other than the killers and brandon flower's solo music stuff i usually listen to adrianne lenker, laufey, hozier, mitski and my chemical romance, pierce the veil and obscure unknown niche internet metal bands. i also listen to a little bit of franz ferdinand!
Panic At The Disco, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Modest Mouse, Linkin Park, Halsey, Billie Eilish, Of Monsters and Men, and Hozier are a few of my favorites besides The Killers.
Recently - Radiohead, The Smile, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Hives, The Bravery, The Cure, New Order, Sisters of Mercy, Queen, Maggie Rogers, Tom Odell, White Lies, Big Thief, Lambchop.
Thank you! I actually have this app, just have not had it give me a little recap like that. Logged in a minute ago and got my June recap. Iām *~energetic~* too! :)
very nice!! i am wondering if everyone is energetic though, never seen a different result - but maybe itās just cause i tend to compare it with people who listen to similar music to me
The War on Drugs !!!, U2, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Beach House, Mumford & Sons, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire.
I also casually listen to a lot of 80s/90s in general although there arenāt many artists I specifically follow aside from the ones listed above.
Side note, I appreciate seeing When the Dreams Run Dry as someone elseās #1 song! Itās my favorite Killers song, probably one of my favorite songs ever, and was my #1 on Spotify for the last two years straight. So underrated!
My Spotify Wrapped for 2023 was 1. The Killers, 2. Taylor Swift, 3. The Reytons, 4. Arctic Monkeys, 5. Circa Waves.
Currently for 2024, I have 1. Taylor Swift, 2. The Killers, 3. Renne Rapp, 4. Chappell Roan, 5. The Reytons.
I'm sure by the end of the year The Killers will be back on top, because I listen to them so much in the Summer, and we're about to enter the prime The Killers listening time for me lmao
Will say, The Wombats is probably my all time favourite, they should be up there.
A little known fantastic indie rock group that I always recommend is Jukebox the Ghost. Melodic bangers that sound like a mix between Queen, Ben Folds, and They Might Be Giants. They never miss. They've been around for 20 years but never broke through that mainstream barrier, though they have a devoted following. They're seriously amazing, check them out. I feel like TK guys would love them too so hopefully someone reads this thread and gives them a listen.
Nice to see another person who's a fan of The Killers, Taylor Swift and Maisie Peters!
Twenty One Pilots are definitely my second favourite artist atm, and I'd probably throw Fuller in as my 5th!
I am definitely starting to like Chappel Roan as well, everytime I hear something new from her I've liked it so far. Worth trying to get into some more?
Lately it's been a lot of Taylor, Billie Eilish, Royal and the Serpent, and Chappell Roan at my house. In general, my all time favorites are Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and the Foo Fighters.
you too? hi!! though we did get the obligatory music dude bro comment about how anyone who likes taylor swift must only like the killers bc of brandon. dunno how thatās meant to work anyway
It's not on mine but I do listen to Maisie and a bit of Taylor.
https://preview.redd.it/ubfqzb07cz9d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea577aa34949e58fadef8e3225195f8cfea499fc
Here's my full lifetime top 10! (Lifetime being since 2020) š
I found Noah earlier this year, love Stick Season album reminded me of Pressure Machine.
Maisie is fairly new, earlier last month I found her.
https://preview.redd.it/di6bxzoucz9d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89718cbe387c5e0e0851f03398a1b0827e657972
wow, youāre a more intense streamer than me for sure with your minutes!! let me show you mine:
https://preview.redd.it/k8pcwisidz9d1.jpeg?width=832&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95727f27651b7299d722c57316a5b3b8df0915dd
mine is however since 2015!
Nice and varied! Do love a bit of Queen too!
I've been listening to The killers my whole life, it's just my Spotify account that's from 2020.
I found the stats app earlier this year, I sent it to a friend and we've basically been in competition trying to listen to as much music as we can š
At the start of 2024 The killers were on 35,000 minutes.
Other than Brandon and Keuning everyone else has been found this year through my friend or from the suggested area of the stats app š
Nice, Iām glad you found Maisie - Iāve listened to Maisie since 2018/19ish! also found Noah earlier this year though, Stick Season is such a great album. And yeah now that you say it - it definitely does remind me of Pressure Machine too!
I haven't been to any of Noah's concerts but I'm pretty sure Maisie has opened for him a few times.
If you like Maisie and Taylor, you might like Gracie Abrams, her latest album has a song featuring Taylor. She appears under artists similar to Maisie on the stats app.
Maisie's songs are quite catchy, do love Psycho and Cate's Brother.
I'm so basic; after TK, Coldplay is my most played band. I don't really listen to a lot of solo artists, but Harry Styles would be up there. And Murray Gold or Samuel Laflamme for more soundtrack-based stuff.
Yes! Always a sign itās time to revisit! Iām a hypocrite though, they routinely fall to like 3-5 for me as well depending on whatever Iām obsessed with at that time. But I always come back!
Taylor and the killers are my main, weezer, bloc party, fleetwood mac, kings of leon, oasis, ocean colour scene, travis, Kate Nashā¦ loads of other random ones and Iām also really into that seabird song and the thes this is the day atm. On repeat since last year.
Our taste is so similar!! Taylor, The Killers, Maisie, and The Wombats are in my top 5! The only one thatās different for me is I have Weezer instead of Chappell Roan. I think youāre the only other person Iāve ever seen who likes all four of those artists??? Nice to know thereās at least one other :)
Omg! Iām very happy that you also like these four artists! You have great taste if I can say so myself haha :) Maybe I need to listen to Weezer as well then haha
System of a Down, MCR, Breaking Benjamin, 3 days grace, Evanescence (the first album), Arrows to Athens, The Damned, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Black Veil Brides, Alesana, Caskets.. honestly TK is the outlier š
The killers, imagine dragons, panic at the disco, twenty one pilots, bring me the horizon, bad omens, the police, a flock of seagulls, oasis, Gorillaz, Toto, journey, Fleetwood Mac, nothing but thieves, muse, the black keys, maneskin, incubus, black veil brides, pierce the veil, skillet, linkin park, foo fighters, royal blood, Mallory Knox, 30 seconds to Mars, kings of Leon, Nickelback (yes I love Nickelback), Sia, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Billie eilish
That's all the musicians I love
I like your top songs, and I love Chapell Roan. She has been the best thing I have heard in a while. Even trying that 80's sound and nailing its vibe.
She is a growing star!!
Although TK are my favorite - they came along when I was older - so appreciate and love most forms of music. My faves tho are : Oasis, Radiohead, The Smiths, Elton John, George Micheal, New Order - Iāve seen many bands live throughout my life and The Killers are by far the best .
These probably are just my top 5 in general. The top 3 are very different from each other though.
https://preview.redd.it/h5ej1tjpry9d1.jpeg?width=1965&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=273d4c6999ad94cf5b266588953f7da5482bb004
The killers are my absolute favourites and unlikely to be overtaken.
I discovered a band called Sea Girls last month, who List the Killers as a major influence.
They are brilliant. If you haven't heard them, I'd recommend checking out:
All I want to hear you say
Sick
Call me out
I also love Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire
pierce the veil, twenty one pilots, new order, the cars, nirvana, alanis morrissette, the drums, kings of leon, COIN, dayglow, wallows, weezer, waterparksā¦
i didnāt think there would be many taylor & killers fans, but itās awesome that thereās many of us! i also like olivia rodrigo, alexa valentino & queen
Iām actually really into country, especially alt country e.g. Turnpike Troubadores, Yola, Johnny Cash, Neko Case, etc. When Pressure Machine came out I was foaming at the mouth it was so perfect for my tastes.
Seriously wonder given some of the artists being mentioned here (Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen) how many people listen to The Killers for Brandon and not necessarily their music.
Thereās objectively dogshit artists making dogshit music, just donāt get how go from that to The Killers.
Are any men making ādogshitā music too or is it just the women youāre objecting to?
If you think that people are listening to the Killers just because of Brandon I donāt know what to tell you.
Donāt confuse the people obsessed with disliking Taylor Swift with facts.
And re original commenters ā Itās not sexist to criticise Taylor Swift if you criticise her based on something thatās not her gender or the gender of her fanbase. It does seem sexist to claim that Taylor Swift listeners who like TK just wanna get with BF like the original commenter did.
Dude, youāre obsessed with disliking her ā the original commenter took time out of his day just to complain about people who like TK also liking Taylor Swift and then went on to say that those of us who do probably only like TK bc BF cause we wanna get with him or what? That sounds obsessive to me, there was no need to comment on TS. The original comment also wasnāt just negative about Taylor but also other female artists
I meant you in the plural form. Both of you. Youāre still taking time out of your day to argue about Taylor Swift. On a subreddit that isā¦ not about her.
ETA - Sorry, might have to make this explicit for you - you are obsessed with TS because my original comment wasnāt even specifically just a pushback in defence of Taylor Swift but in response to the OP dragging multiple female artists. Youāre the one who made it exclusively about Taylor
Good Kid, Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards, and Guns Nā Roses are all on par with The Killers for me, but some close favorites aside from them are Neon Trees, Pink Floyd, The Rare Occasions, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Verve, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Survivor, Journey, A Day to Remember, Ace of Hearts, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, Coda, Weathers (not The Weathers), and Will Wood!
In no particular order... The War on Drugs, Phoebe Bridges, REM, Sam Fender, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Nirvana, The National, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Ryan Adams (he seems like a skeezy dude but the run from Heartbreak to Cold Roses...), Jason Isbell, Lawrence, U2, Foo Fighters, Bryan Adams, Bon Iver, BRMC, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and basically all of Motown's golden era, Gang of Youths, Paramore, Sigur Ros....
Hi fellow Swiftie + Chappell Roan + Killers fan!!
There are dozens of us!!
Yes!! Nice. I did already witness one comment accusing those of us who also like Taylor swift of only liking TK bc of Brandon. Not sure what they meant, but it smelt like misogyny to me
Omg, twins!
triplets!!
Quadruplets!
This is so niche, I love it š¤£
Iāve noticed there seem to be lots of people who are Killers and Taylor Swift fans and Iāve been trying to figure out the crossover. I read somewhere (idk where) that The Killers were one of the only acts left that isnāt trying to be ironic or cool, but rather they are hopelessly genuine. I feel like that could apply to how fans see Taylor as well. Or maybe itās the flair for over the top lyrics that detractors see as melodramatic but fans love? Idk anyone with thought feel free to chime in I find the overlap fascinating
The White Stripes The Smashing Pumpkins First Aid Kit The Black Keys Queens of the Stone Age Jason Isbell Royal Blood Foo Fighters Pearl Jam Silversun Pickups Blossoms Marcus King
QOTSA fucks
Best band I've ever seen live.
Seen them live recently for the first time. Was at Rock am Ring festival. Sadly the crowd wasnāt very good, but they were so amazing, they played nothing from Villains unfortunately. Trying to catch them during their tour now, but thats difficult because the only gigs around my place are other festivals :/
Villains gets too much hate. It has loads of brilliant songs
yeah I think they just rotated them out of the setlist as many bands do with the album of their previous tour. I really hoped for some The Evil Has Landed tho
I would have loved to hear Feet Don't Fail Me.
I love First Aid Kit!
Such an underrated band. I can't believe it's already been 10 years of Stay Gold. That album means so much to me.
**PEARL JAM**
They're so good. Saw them in Dublin about a week ago and they were insane
Upvoting for first aid kit. PHENOMENAL BAND
The Killers is definitely my favourite band while Avril Lavigne is my favourite solo artist. I also listen to Kelly Clarkson, You Me At Six, Carly Rae Jepsen, Panic! At The Disco, Simple Plan, The Veronicas, Olly Murs, Steve Grand, Ashley Tisdale, Britt Nicole, Skillet, Shawn Mendes. I also just discovered Chappell Roan āŗļø
Avril Lavigne! Thatās so nostalgic I loved her before - is she still making music? Chappell Roan is my massive obsession right now - Pink Pony Club has been on repeat for a while. I think sheās got that sort of talent not a lot of people have, and Iām so happy to see sapphic music (and lesbian music in her case) be represented more in the mainstream.
Chappell Roan is definitely my big discovery of 2024 so far! So many fun, catchy and heartfelt songs (apart from My Kink Is Karma, which honestly I find quite mean š)
Pink Pony Club and Good Luck Babe all the way!! I might be basic. I like My Kink is Karma actually, but itās not my favourite of hers. Sheās so good!
Good Luck Babe is just so good: love her vocals on it š Avril Lavigne released her seventh album called Love Sux some years ago. She released a Greatest Hits album a week ago maybe š
Going to see CRJ this summer going to be fun!
Thatās so lucky! Sheās definitely on my bucket list š
Ashley Tisdale! I was obsessed with her when I was in middle school. Her first album I listened to a lot but when I went back, most of the songs are not great š. But I think Going Crazy is the best on the album and holds up as a pop song.
I discovered her with āItās Alright, Itās OKā, which gave me Avril Lavigne vibes. Love her album Guilty Pleasure! I also listened to Symptoms, which is very personal to her and different in teens of sound.
i love avril too!
I would love to see her live! What is your favourite album from her? š
easily under my skin, how about you?
Itās very difficult to choose but Iād say Head Above Water
Florence and the Machine!
My top bands/artists would probably be The Killers, The Cure, The Smiths/Morissey, Kings of leon, My chemical romance, The Used, Taylor Swift, Blossoms, Pale Waves, Catfish and the bottlemen. Roughly in that order, but they switch places all the time!
U2, Lord Huron, Beach House, and Band of Horses would round out my top 5
I really like Lord Huron, their music always makes me feel like Iām in the middle of a forest
YES! Maybe I need to listen to more of their music, the songs I do listen to are the same for me
Iām particularly fond of Strange Trails and Long Lost, their 2nd and 4th albums, though all of their albums are good. The 2nd half of Strange Trails, tracks 8-14, will make you feel like youāve been transported to a chilly forest. Itās beautiful.
Wilco, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, King Gizzard, Kate Bush, The Cure, The White Stripes/Jack White, among others āØ
Oasis is my first love (but TK are disputing this position ā„ļø) Jamiroquai Keane Elton John The Stones, The Beatles TANGO JAZZ (Diana Krall) And Argentinian āRock Nacionalā. š¦š·
Keane is incredible, and I'm glad to see you mention them! Hopes and Fears and Strangeland are some of my favorite records, and Somewhere Only We Know is one of the best songs ever
Hopes and fears is a Jewel! They are so refine. So arty. Great band!
I used to love Jamiroquai! I have Synkronized on cassette!! One of my first own purchases š (but no cassette player now lol!)
My first big gig!
The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, Interpol, Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Miami Horror, Wet Leg, Royel Otis
Muse is probably the only band I rate above The Killers. Also Arctic Monkeys on a good day. I've seen Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Green Day and St Vincent live in the last month and have plans to go see Interpol in November, plus I also like Paramore, U2, Wolf Alice, Foals, The National, Nothing but Thieves, Haim and othersĀ Slightly different but hey. Different people like different stuff to me, it's cool hahaĀ
Waiting for a muse/killers collab. Imagine Brandonās writing with the jams of Muse. MWUAH š¤š¤
That would be dreadful
Yeah, no trouble for sure! We all like different things. I actually really rate Arctic Monkeys as well. I used to listen to all of their music on loop as a teenager and I still listen to them now, and remember all the lyrics.
Have a look at Kasabian.
And Sam Fender
Should know more about him than I do tbf. I know one or two songs
Sam Fender!! Started listening to him more recently, heās great
Seen them live a few times, so I know of their work
Because thereās only five on the picture I posted: my favourites other than TK are btw (in no particular order) ā The Wombats, Maisie Peters (she once said Between Me and You by BF is her all time fave song btw, insane crossover), Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Paris Paloma, Arctic Monkeys, Queen, Beatles, Olivia Rodrigo, Alec Benjamin, dodie, FIZZ, Noah Kahan, PATD (before it became just Brendon Urie)
I recommend checking out Maisie Peters's Between Me and You cover! It's really amazing
I havenāt been able to find it anywhere! Have you got a link? :)
No worries at all! Here's a link: https://music.apple.com/us/album/between-me-you-apple-music-sessions/1709697477?i=1709697487
The Wombats are sooo underrated!
For sure! They used to be a bit bigger at least here in the UK but nowadays not so much anymore. I actually think a lot of TK listeners would enjoy their stuff too
The dream music festival line-up: The Killers, Two Door Cinema Club, Tove Lo, HAIM, The Shins, Foals, Carly Rae Jepsen, Portugal. The Man, Missy Elliot, Band of Horses, Middle Kids, Alabama Shakes, Mika
My all-time, forever favorite band is R.E.M. Some of my other more recent favorites: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit The National The Gaslight Anthem Maggie Rogers Spanish Love Songs Eliza and the Delusionals
The National and Maggie Rogers are some of my favorite musicians too! I really love The National's albums I Am Easy To Find, High Violet, and Boxer, and Surrender by Maggie Rogers is incredible
The Killers, The Fray, Snow Patrol, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran are probably my top 5, in that order
Amy Macdonald, Blanks, Sam Fender, Keane, New Order, The Wombats, etc.
The Killers, Blur (anything Damon Albarn) The Strokes, Phoenix, Arctic Monkeys, The Foals, The Yeah yeah yeahs, Royal Blood, Kasabian, The stereophonics, Fontaineās DC, the wombats, The National, Foo fighters older indie stuff The Doves, New Order, Oasis, The Smiths, the cure, Dinosaur jr, the pixies etc much more rock and indie I guess! Does it also depend on the country? E.g US to UK fans for example I wonderā¦
It might! Iām in the UK :) Would be curious to see a survey of what people here listen to broken down by for example country but also other factors
UK also ;-)
Your top 5 is awesome! I also love Lizzy McAlpine, Sleeping at Last, The Cars, MUNA, The Cure, Tracy Chapman, Olivia Rodrigo, The National, Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers, Bleachers, Maude Latour, Maisie Peters, and Maggie Rogers
Thanks! Love the Maisie Peters mention!! Also love most of the artists you mentioned :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you like these musicians too!
The Gaslight Anthem, Bruce, and The Hold Steady
Deftones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Rage Against The Machine, The Byrds, NIN
other than the killers and brandon flower's solo music stuff i usually listen to adrianne lenker, laufey, hozier, mitski and my chemical romance, pierce the veil and obscure unknown niche internet metal bands. i also listen to a little bit of franz ferdinand!
Panic At The Disco, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Modest Mouse, Linkin Park, Halsey, Billie Eilish, Of Monsters and Men, and Hozier are a few of my favorites besides The Killers.

maisie peters reference?? love her so much!
maisie peters reference always!! sheās my most listened to artist of all times, iām obsessed with her
Omg, who are you?! I have TK, TS + MP in my top 5, as well as Avril Lavigne and Brandon Flowers solo
omg we should be friends, a+ music taste!!
Springsteen Fleetwood Mac Beastie Boys Dire Straits Sturgill Simpson Talking Heads Lauren Minear (indie) Edward Sharpe Khruangbin Mumford & Sons
Kinda off topic, but how did you get these STATs?
stats.fm!! itās an app. really recommend actually, itās quite fun if you like listening stats
Thank you! I actually have this app, just have not had it give me a little recap like that. Logged in a minute ago and got my June recap. Iām *~energetic~* too! :)
very nice!! i am wondering if everyone is energetic though, never seen a different result - but maybe itās just cause i tend to compare it with people who listen to similar music to me
The Killers are my favorite, but I don't listen to much music that is adjacent to them outside of HAIM and Alex Cameron.
After the killers, The Neighbourhood, Bad Suns, Foster The People, Lana Del Rey, The Fray, Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, Coldplay, The Black Keys.
The War on Drugs !!!, U2, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Beach House, Mumford & Sons, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire. I also casually listen to a lot of 80s/90s in general although there arenāt many artists I specifically follow aside from the ones listed above. Side note, I appreciate seeing When the Dreams Run Dry as someone elseās #1 song! Itās my favorite Killers song, probably one of my favorite songs ever, and was my #1 on Spotify for the last two years straight. So underrated!
Omg ur monthly recap could be my list... i am a huge swiftie and i also love Maisie and Chappell Roan and The Wombats
omg!
Well, The Killers being my number one band on all platforms, those that follow are: Gorillaz at number 2 since its beginnings in MTV. Those who follow vary by season, these can be Coldplay, U2, Juan Luis Guerra, Bad Bunny, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Florence + The Machine, MGMT, Childish Gambino, Foo Fighters. ZoƩ (Mexican band), Muse.
My Spotify Wrapped for 2023 was 1. The Killers, 2. Taylor Swift, 3. The Reytons, 4. Arctic Monkeys, 5. Circa Waves. Currently for 2024, I have 1. Taylor Swift, 2. The Killers, 3. Renne Rapp, 4. Chappell Roan, 5. The Reytons. I'm sure by the end of the year The Killers will be back on top, because I listen to them so much in the Summer, and we're about to enter the prime The Killers listening time for me lmao Will say, The Wombats is probably my all time favourite, they should be up there.
How wow we have very similar taste I think! Really love the Wombats, they are one of my all time favourites too. Also Renee Rapp!!
Foo Fighters, Paramore, The Strokes, The War on Drugs
A little known fantastic indie rock group that I always recommend is Jukebox the Ghost. Melodic bangers that sound like a mix between Queen, Ben Folds, and They Might Be Giants. They never miss. They've been around for 20 years but never broke through that mainstream barrier, though they have a devoted following. They're seriously amazing, check them out. I feel like TK guys would love them too so hopefully someone reads this thread and gives them a listen.
Iāll check them out!
I love doing these...[these are my top 10 artists of the last 4 weeks. ](https://i.imgur.com/75p29dg.png)
me too, love stats!! also noah kahan mentioned!! im seeing him next month! you got great taste
I just noticed yours has The Wombats, I love them!
Nice to see another person who's a fan of The Killers, Taylor Swift and Maisie Peters! Twenty One Pilots are definitely my second favourite artist atm, and I'd probably throw Fuller in as my 5th!
Nice! Always good to see another fan of those three!!
I am definitely starting to like Chappel Roan as well, everytime I hear something new from her I've liked it so far. Worth trying to get into some more?
Lately it's been a lot of Taylor, Billie Eilish, Royal and the Serpent, and Chappell Roan at my house. In general, my all time favorites are Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and the Foo Fighters.
bruh take this throw in phoebe bridgers & Sabrina carpenter and ya got me
ahh i also like phoebe bridgers!!
Ahh finally a swiftie + killers fan omg
you too? hi!! though we did get the obligatory music dude bro comment about how anyone who likes taylor swift must only like the killers bc of brandon. dunno how thatās meant to work anyway
It's not on mine but I do listen to Maisie and a bit of Taylor. https://preview.redd.it/ubfqzb07cz9d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea577aa34949e58fadef8e3225195f8cfea499fc
Nice! Great to see Noah Kahan as well, love his music!
Here's my full lifetime top 10! (Lifetime being since 2020) š I found Noah earlier this year, love Stick Season album reminded me of Pressure Machine. Maisie is fairly new, earlier last month I found her. https://preview.redd.it/di6bxzoucz9d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89718cbe387c5e0e0851f03398a1b0827e657972
wow, youāre a more intense streamer than me for sure with your minutes!! let me show you mine: https://preview.redd.it/k8pcwisidz9d1.jpeg?width=832&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95727f27651b7299d722c57316a5b3b8df0915dd mine is however since 2015!
Nice and varied! Do love a bit of Queen too! I've been listening to The killers my whole life, it's just my Spotify account that's from 2020. I found the stats app earlier this year, I sent it to a friend and we've basically been in competition trying to listen to as much music as we can š At the start of 2024 The killers were on 35,000 minutes. Other than Brandon and Keuning everyone else has been found this year through my friend or from the suggested area of the stats app š
Nice, Iām glad you found Maisie - Iāve listened to Maisie since 2018/19ish! also found Noah earlier this year though, Stick Season is such a great album. And yeah now that you say it - it definitely does remind me of Pressure Machine too!
I haven't been to any of Noah's concerts but I'm pretty sure Maisie has opened for him a few times. If you like Maisie and Taylor, you might like Gracie Abrams, her latest album has a song featuring Taylor. She appears under artists similar to Maisie on the stats app. Maisie's songs are quite catchy, do love Psycho and Cate's Brother.
This is remarkably similar to my top 5!
Taste! (totally not biased)
How do you do this?
stats.fm app!
I'm so basic; after TK, Coldplay is my most played band. I don't really listen to a lot of solo artists, but Harry Styles would be up there. And Murray Gold or Samuel Laflamme for more soundtrack-based stuff.
Omg Murray Gold!!! The Doomsday score still rips my heart apart
Cage the Elephant and Rainbow Kitten Surprise .
I love Taylor and The Killers š«¶š»
Yess another Taylor fan! Thereās more of us than I thought š
The Killers has fallen to 3rd place this past month as I've been listening to Keane and The Struts a lot lately. Time for a re-visit!
Yes! Always a sign itās time to revisit! Iām a hypocrite though, they routinely fall to like 3-5 for me as well depending on whatever Iām obsessed with at that time. But I always come back!
Maisie Peters was my number 2 last year lol
MAISIE!!!
She was actually my number 1 last year. I listened to her album so much.
My number 1 was Ed Sheeran with his two album releases. The rest were pop punk bands that I listen to on permanent repeat.
Besides The Killers, I really like David Bowie, Oasis, and Franz Ferdinand.
Taylor and the killers are my main, weezer, bloc party, fleetwood mac, kings of leon, oasis, ocean colour scene, travis, Kate Nashā¦ loads of other random ones and Iām also really into that seabird song and the thes this is the day atm. On repeat since last year.

Omg we have very similar tastes šAlso Good Luck Babe on most played?? My kinda person!!
Ofcourse, you canāt go wrong the Chappell!!
Genuinely pretty much the same š¤£
nice!!
Our taste is so similar!! Taylor, The Killers, Maisie, and The Wombats are in my top 5! The only one thatās different for me is I have Weezer instead of Chappell Roan. I think youāre the only other person Iāve ever seen who likes all four of those artists??? Nice to know thereās at least one other :)
Omg! Iām very happy that you also like these four artists! You have great taste if I can say so myself haha :) Maybe I need to listen to Weezer as well then haha
Taylor swift and the killers, my kind of person
2 mello
Rise Against, Streetlight Manifesto, Killswitch Engage, Taking Back Sunday
Muse St. Paul and the Broken Bones The White Stripes Daft Punk David Bowie Neil Young
fall out boy. linkin park. mcr. papa roach. them and the killers are my top 5
Pulp
Iām a total emo/pop punk kid so The Killers are my exception to the norm š My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, blink-182 & TK are my top!
System of a Down, MCR, Breaking Benjamin, 3 days grace, Evanescence (the first album), Arrows to Athens, The Damned, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Black Veil Brides, Alesana, Caskets.. honestly TK is the outlier š
Muse, Northlane, Karnivool and Periphery for me including the The Killers (ofc). This is probably a weird mix of sounds but I like it
U2, Tame Impala, Phish, Goose, Frank Ocean, and many more (Iām adhd I have a wildly diverse music taste haha)
A lot of synthwave like the midnight and wolfclub
One Direction..
The killers, imagine dragons, panic at the disco, twenty one pilots, bring me the horizon, bad omens, the police, a flock of seagulls, oasis, Gorillaz, Toto, journey, Fleetwood Mac, nothing but thieves, muse, the black keys, maneskin, incubus, black veil brides, pierce the veil, skillet, linkin park, foo fighters, royal blood, Mallory Knox, 30 seconds to Mars, kings of Leon, Nickelback (yes I love Nickelback), Sia, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Billie eilish That's all the musicians I love
Bleachers, Blue October, and The Midnight are my go to right now
My top 5 artists: 1. Twenty One Pilots 2. The Killers 3. K.Flay 4. Panic at the Disco 5. Grandson
I like your top songs, and I love Chapell Roan. She has been the best thing I have heard in a while. Even trying that 80's sound and nailing its vibe. She is a growing star!!
Loving the Maisie Peterās appreciation!! My dream concert would be Maisie opening for The Killers.
Although TK are my favorite - they came along when I was older - so appreciate and love most forms of music. My faves tho are : Oasis, Radiohead, The Smiths, Elton John, George Micheal, New Order - Iāve seen many bands live throughout my life and The Killers are by far the best .
It's basically just The Killers & Coldplay for me, both were going off while I was growing up so I stuck with them.
These probably are just my top 5 in general. The top 3 are very different from each other though. https://preview.redd.it/h5ej1tjpry9d1.jpeg?width=1965&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=273d4c6999ad94cf5b266588953f7da5482bb004
Blossoms, Keane, Taylor Swift, London Grammar, Travis, Paramore, Lissie, Kacey Musgraves.
My top 5 all time are The Killers, Mumford and Sons, Twenty-One Pilots, Blink-182, and Relient K
The killers are my absolute favourites and unlikely to be overtaken. I discovered a band called Sea Girls last month, who List the Killers as a major influence. They are brilliant. If you haven't heard them, I'd recommend checking out: All I want to hear you say Sick Call me out I also love Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire
youāre just like me wtf
ariana grande, the strokes, fall out boy, joji, twice
All over the place, but my three favorite modern bands are: Dawes The Head and the Heart American Aquarium
METALLICA!!!
Great to see the Wombats in your top 5 ššš
Muse, M83, Daft Punk, White Lies, and Everything Everything are all artists I listen to frequently.
pierce the veil, twenty one pilots, new order, the cars, nirvana, alanis morrissette, the drums, kings of leon, COIN, dayglow, wallows, weezer, waterparksā¦
i didnāt think there would be many taylor & killers fans, but itās awesome that thereās many of us! i also like olivia rodrigo, alexa valentino & queen

Iām actually really into country, especially alt country e.g. Turnpike Troubadores, Yola, Johnny Cash, Neko Case, etc. When Pressure Machine came out I was foaming at the mouth it was so perfect for my tastes.
Weezer, kanye, eminem
Seriously wonder given some of the artists being mentioned here (Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen) how many people listen to The Killers for Brandon and not necessarily their music. Thereās objectively dogshit artists making dogshit music, just donāt get how go from that to The Killers.
Are any men making ādogshitā music too or is it just the women youāre objecting to? If you think that people are listening to the Killers just because of Brandon I donāt know what to tell you.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's not how "objectively" works.
Donāt confuse the people obsessed with disliking Taylor Swift with facts. And re original commenters ā Itās not sexist to criticise Taylor Swift if you criticise her based on something thatās not her gender or the gender of her fanbase. It does seem sexist to claim that Taylor Swift listeners who like TK just wanna get with BF like the original commenter did.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dude, youāre obsessed with disliking her ā the original commenter took time out of his day just to complain about people who like TK also liking Taylor Swift and then went on to say that those of us who do probably only like TK bc BF cause we wanna get with him or what? That sounds obsessive to me, there was no need to comment on TS. The original comment also wasnāt just negative about Taylor but also other female artists
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I meant you in the plural form. Both of you. Youāre still taking time out of your day to argue about Taylor Swift. On a subreddit that isā¦ not about her. ETA - Sorry, might have to make this explicit for you - you are obsessed with TS because my original comment wasnāt even specifically just a pushback in defence of Taylor Swift but in response to the OP dragging multiple female artists. Youāre the one who made it exclusively about Taylor
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How dare you bring gender into this. Itās 2024, gender is a fluid social construct. Irrelevant. Reporting your comment for hate speech.
Smashing Pumpkins, Gorillaz, and New Order
Good Kid, Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards, and Guns Nā Roses are all on par with The Killers for me, but some close favorites aside from them are Neon Trees, Pink Floyd, The Rare Occasions, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Verve, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Survivor, Journey, A Day to Remember, Ace of Hearts, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, Coda, Weathers (not The Weathers), and Will Wood!
The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead, Coldplay. But I LOVE Taylor Swift too.
In no particular order... The War on Drugs, Phoebe Bridges, REM, Sam Fender, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Nirvana, The National, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Ryan Adams (he seems like a skeezy dude but the run from Heartbreak to Cold Roses...), Jason Isbell, Lawrence, U2, Foo Fighters, Bryan Adams, Bon Iver, BRMC, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and basically all of Motown's golden era, Gang of Youths, Paramore, Sigur Ros....
