The Killers' Hot Fuss turns 10: the debut albums that changed everything
Game changing records from the biggest bands
The Killers - Hot Fuss: Some see it as a shimmering treasure trove of synth-pop perfection from one of the best pop bands of our time, others see it as a turgid turd on the modern music landscape from a bunch of nostalgia-pillaging pretenders. Either way, no one can deny its impact in kickstarting a 1980s revival as synths and indie returned to charts for the years that followed.

The Killers' debut album, Hot Fuss was released on 7 June 2004. That is ten years ago.
TEN YEARS.
The album introduced the world to one of the greatest indie-pop bands of our generation, and paved the way for a huge career, one that would see them headlining stadium shows a decade later, and more importantly, ushering pop and electronica into the oversaturated guitar band scene and bringing the previously opposed genres closer together than ever before.
Hot Fuss remains, to this day, a hugely important debut album, and one that can be considered to have changed everything on the music scene. Or at the very least, gave things as massive kick up the arse. To mark the ten years since Hot Fuss first dropped, check out the debut albums that likewise, changed everything in music. The Killers, we salute you.
