The Killers: Part 1

Hello, Lovelies!
All three of us love The Killers, so I decided to share my thoughts on their music. I've gone through and ranked each song from my personal favorite, to least favorite, and also added my favorite line just for funsies. :)
This will Part 1 with their first three albums, Hot Fuss, Sam's Town, and Sawdust.
Hope you enjoy!
