Interpol are my favourite band ever. I like the Killers too but Interpol are ina league of their own. They have the best drummer ever in Sam Cooke and Paul Banks voice is just absolutely gorgeous and so unique.
For anyone who doesn't know them - check out Obstacle 1, one of my fave songs ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkBAUqp6NKg |

Neither band is "better" in my opinion, but they have very different styles. Just so happens that The Killers appeal to a wider audience and so sell more records.
I probably tend to listen to Interpol more myself though. I find their albums generally to be more consistent, whereas with The Killers I will love particular songs but find myself really disliking others. I prefer Interpol live as well, seeing them headlining the Latitude festival last year was one of the best live peformances I've ever seen, the pouring rain really added to the experience and seemed to really suit their music. Have only seen the Killers live once though and the venue wasn't particularly good.Am also a fan of bands like The Stills, The Organ, The Walkmen - in fact the Walkmen are touring soon, just ordered tickets to see em in Birmingham in February. |

Utter class Killers songs -
Tranquilize Where The White Boys Dance On Top Indie Rock and Roll (Sawdust version) Smile Like You Mean It All These Things I've Done Human Spaceman Joy Ride This Is Your Life The World We Live In Sam's Town Somebody Told Me Mr Brightside (the remix on Sawdust is magical) All of these songs are better than anything I've heard by Interpol. |

I dont I like the Killers but they have a very commerical sound, I think Interpol are far more unique. Interpol songs better than The Killers (imho):
Obstacle 1 Slow Hands - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmtsktxLYqs Heinrich Manouver -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha_bppvZ0a8 No I in Threesone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6oIzvholME C'mere - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRIdu58lIoM to name a few!

Very different bands IMO. It's like comparing Nirvana to Duran Duran

Wasn't it Interpol 'Slow hands' that was used on the Armani advert on over christmas?
I actually thought it was the Editors (another class band IMO well understated by the media) But yeah, both have a Ian Curtis/Joy Division feel about them... |

Editors do have a similar sound as I feel White Lies do also. Joy Divsion are clearly a big influence in all 3 bands although that's not a bad thing. I agree with the poster who said it was like comparing Nirvana with Duran Duran, no real comparison to be had at all. I still don't like the Killers album, compared to their 1st 2 it's so radio 2 in it's blandness.
