Tie between the Cure and The Smiths
Right now, The Killers is "our" band. They are unashamed in their devotion and admitted influence of The Cure, The Smiths, New Order, and Pet Shop Boys.
The first time I saw The Killers live, Johnny Marr from The Smiths opened for them. He played a bunch of original Smiths and then played on several songs with the Killers. Brandon Flowers is constantly doing a cover of their songs.
Not the best video. But Johnny Marr is playing:
That just ain't my style, so I'll go Nirvana, Beatles, Coldplay.
I’m not familiar with the Killers but they sound like something I would have listened to.
Coldplay is my outlier, but I always loved Fix You and Something Just Like This. THEN I saw a documentary on Coldplay, and it made me appreciate the common folk they actually are. The lead singer of Coldplay in college reminded me of my nephew in college.That's a damn good list. I mean that covers 60 years of music! Coldplay is still going at it.
