So why should they sing like a rock and roll singer if that is not their thing? Is there only one acceptable sound in modern "alternative" (whatever the hell that means?)? I do agree with Sebby that the keyboards in some of The Killers songs do their best to wreck the songs, but I don't begrudge some kid from Vegas for trying to do brit pop.

Who else are you including in whiny brit pop? (prompted by the presence of only one british band in Sebby's screed)
