I'd forgot The Bravery even existed. Being a second-rate Killers was never a good look. Reluctant vote to Cash, I guess.

If you ever heard a more moving song where the voice of the singer is on the very limit of breaking but doesnโ€™t, please tell me. JC it is.

So if the Killers were the Duran Duran of the 2000s the Bravery were like, what, the Flock of Seagulls?


Either way no hesitation to vote for Cash's swan sing, even as a (great, heartbreaking) NIN cover.

That miserable droning monotone that couldn't hold a tune in a bucket is exactly why I can't ever vote for Cash for anything. And this very aged Cash is weaker and more unlistenable than ever before. Dude has less than a half octave range. C'mon, the average death metal song has more melody than this.

Haha, yeah.

The Bravery are second-rate Killers? That's quite an insult. That first self-titled Bravery album is better than Hot Fuss. The fact that a non-2000s artist, covering a non-2000s song, and not doing a good job at it either, is leading over one the catchiest songs of the decade that exemplifies one the decades musical trends, with an awesome video...just goes to show how stupid this tournament is. I'm not even gonna waste my time voting for my own nominee.

First thing that came to mind from your description is:

There was a time in my life when I thought Hurt was the most brilliant thing ever. Over the years I've come to prefer the original, but that might be because I've heard the Cash version in so many trailers and things. I enjoyed it more than I expected when I just listened again, I do think it's very well done.

For some reason I thought the Bravery was post grunge band, not sure why I thought that since I can't remember ever hearing anything from them. I enjoyed their song quite a bit. I can see the Killers comparison but it sounds like a pretty typical early 2000s rock song, not just a Killers rip off. Not really sure what I'll vote for yet.

1. The Bravery > The Killers
2. Flock of Seagulls > Duran Duran
3. Nine Inch Nails > Johnny Cash

Honestly not a huge fan of either one, but I really donโ€™t get what all the fuss about Johnny Cashโ€™s cover is. I find it terribly unlistenable, but I guess Iโ€™m pretty accustomed to the original. Cash took all the dissonance out of the song an left all the cliche.

Besides that, I think The Bravery is kind of fun for what it is, and as has been mentioned is a much better representation of the 00s.
