    It really blows me away how stagnant many peoples taste in music is on this board.....all the whining about the Lollapalooza lineup, the comments about the 00's in the Favorite band by decade thread, and now the Arcade Fire bashing.....I really have very little in common with most people on this board (I dont even really like PJ much anymore)

    .....I think its time to go hang out on the Decemberists message board with all the other indie music snobs

    LONG LIVE GRUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Arcade Fire are vastly overrated. Rebellion (Lies) is the only song that stands out as being special to me. The rest on both albums seem to be average.

    there is in fact a decent Decemberists board (The Decemberists' D-Luxe Message Board).....I registered and have hung out there on occasion - but man, are indie music fans ever pretentious ;)

    Is that it? Sarc tags? I'm not exactly feeling crushed here. Give me a song by Arcade Fire that is actually FUN. You can't. It's impossible to enjoy yourself while listening to Arcade Fire.

    I have a small brain, so I still can't decide whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.

    You've got to be kidding. Arcade Fire will be forgotten in about two years. Ten and Vs are Pearl Jam's best albums and you're delusional if you think Arcade Fire's shit is better than those albums.

    I'm listening to some of their songs on myspace. I don't like how the voices and lyrics are so muted against the music. maybe its just these songs.

    any other suggestions what I can listen to of theirs? I'm open to discovering new things. :)
