The Killers shouldn't get anything
A.) Because they suck.
&
B.) Because they think they're somehow as good as if not better than New Order.

90% of new music sucks my ass anyway. Its just a twist on something thats already been done.

Here are the ones I've heard at least some of, and comments
48. Comets on Fire – Blue Cathedral (14) - Pretty rockin but not really my thing, loud, harsh psych-rock
43. Joanna Newsom – The Milk-Eyed Mender (16) - Heard one song, folksy, weird voice, eh
42. Dungen – Ta Det Lugnt (16) - Really good melodic pop, catchy hooks
40. The Futureheads – s/t (17) - I've had this downloaded and heard a song but forgot what it sounds like
38. Devendra Banhart – Nino Rojo (18) - Heard one song and liked it but haven't checked out the rest. folksy stuff
37. Scissor Sisters – s/t (18) - Gay
28. The Killers – Hot Fuss (27) - A few tracks on this are really catchy and great, a few are absolutely horrible. up and down album
25. Animal Collective – Sung Tongs (29) - boring ass indie rock
22. The Shins – Chutes Too Narrow (47) - heard a few songs. catchy, nothing special.
19. Green Day – American Idiot (50) - Very good, some epic tracks
16. U2 – How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (55) - Liked the songs that I heard, need to check out the rest
12. Modest Mouse – Good News for People Who Love Bad News (75) - I dug this album at first but some of the songs got annoying after a while. Their earlier stuff is a lot better
11. TV on the Radio – Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes (77) - Boring shitty shit shit
6. The Arcade Fire – Funeral (110) - Awesome male/female vocals, pretty instrumentals, solid all around album

1. Franz Ferdinand – s/t (336) - Dug a few of the songs a lot, good guitar sound (Gang of Four-ish)

But music is totally subjective, what is garbage to one person is genius to someone else. I think discussing the merits of one band or another is utterly useless because all that matters is if the music sounds good to you.

Wait, is Danger Mouse's Grey Album the Jay-Z/Beatles mix?
That album was fucking great. Way better than the Jay-Z version.
December 4th and Public Service Announcement are so awesome on the Gray Album version. 99 problems was a better version too, but that song wasn't that good anyway

I wouldn't go so far as to say their music is so technical is has no feeling, because they're not Techno/club music bands.

I watched the original of Ocean's 11. It made me realize that my high school plays had better actors.
- The Sleeper - 01-20-2005

- The Sleeper - 01-20-2005
yea watch Dr. Strangelove and tell me Peter Sellers and George C. Scott were bad in it

so what iTunes radio station should I listen to for the new good music? I usually listen to Virgin UK or Radio Wazee. Neither one of them have anything spectacular.
It's a Wonderful Life had shitty acting too.

hip hop was still derivative of jazz and blues.
pretty much all music is derivative of something. you can link anything back to some roots. artists dont care, its a homage. all artists are influenced by the artists they grew up listening to, the combination of all those influences creates todays new music and people complain that its just a new version of the old stuff.
