10 Perfect Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

10. Hot Fuss - The Killers

No one really goes into the studio thinking that they're going to make one of the greatest records of all time. You might want to make something that holds up to the passage of time, but nothing comes together that great on your first step up to the plate. When the Killers hit the scene though, they hit the ground running on Hot Fuss.

As opposed to the garage rock revival that was happening around the same time, Brandon Flowers was going for a much different tone with his lyrical style. Being hopelessly romantic and heartbroken at the same time, much of the bright melodies on here sound like they're ripped straight out of the greatest '80s album that never actually got made. You can hear wisps of bands like the Smiths and Depeche Mode, but the songs themselves are fashioned to be your favorite song in the world from the minute you hear them.

It's not like this is one note either, with the urgency of tracks like Somebody Told Me being balanced out by something like All These Things That I've Done. And we all have to call attention to Mr. Brightside, which continues to be the singular perfect pop song that refuses to die. By making a loving homage to the past, the Killers actually worked their way into timelessness on this record.
