"Thom needs to write pop songs," Observes Killer Brandon Flowers
The Killers' Brandon Flowers - seen this weekend gracing the cover of The Observer Magazine, posing like a gay cowboy -
has said that Radiohead's Thom Yorke should ditch his electro-bleepin' songwriting and get back to penning pop songs.
Flowers told the aforementioned glossy supplement: “He should feel grateful that's he's (been) given the gift to write
pop songs - which he needs to write again!”

And

"Brandon Flowers, the outspoken frontman with The Killers, has said Thom Yorke should "go back to writing pop songs".
In an interview with The Observer newspaper, Flowers said he is less than impressed with Radiohead's output in the last few years as the band have embraced experimenting.
Brandon Flowers told the paper: "He should feel grateful that's he's (been) given the gift to write pop songs - which he needs to write again!""

.....your thoughts?

Maybe Flowers could try writing less pop songs, and try to do something artistic.

Geez Brandon Flowers is a piece of shit. How can people like him call themselves musicians or even live after saying crap like that?

Sounds like Flowers has a case of Kanye West syndrome to me.

Although it's not what he said, Radiohead has been in a decline.

He then went on to say that Thom Yorke "doesn't look a thing like Jesus".

They have declined, but all bands do. Radiohead are so big and peaked so much higher than most bands that it is more obvious. That said, 'There There' is one of my favourite Radiohead songs.

If Yorke could write decent tunes these days, he would. Inabiltiy to write decent songs has been somewhat cleverly masked for die hards as 'artistic' direction of course.

As a side note, Killers suck too.

I never liked Radiohead that much, but i know for a fact theyre much better than The Killers' mainstream pop butterfly-shitting garbage music.

Brandon Flowers doesn't know shit. Radiohead is legendary.
