I like'em fine. Still, I remember a topic where "Funeral" was compared to "Pet sounds" and I can't help thinking that's pushing it (a liking for AF I mean) too far.

I like them because Pitchfork Media tell me that I have to and I'm a deaf hipster

Ehh, Check out a band called The Creation if you haven't heard of them. I think they are similar to the beatles(in my opinion), especially their only hit single, painter man.

Hmm.. might do. At least the single maybe, but haven't heard about the group before.

Don't dislike them (except for WL/WH). Just don't see how people can think of them as a better band than The Beatles or nearly any other 60's act. They're influential, yes, but that's it. The music itself is not great, even if it has inspired other musicians/songwriters to make/write music I love!

Funeral is good and the rest is decent or average. They are overrated, but not that much.

This. However, I'm thinking about making a similar thread, just with The Velvet Underground, but I won't. These sort of threads have become too mainstream! Will probably make the opposite, a thread called "Why do I love Pink Floyd so much? I don't get it" or with another band I like.

Arcade Fire make pleasant music, not really something that have hit me very hard though.

Haha.

Pfft nah that aint true.

But ya Arcade Fire are mad overrated. The Suburbs is amazing, but the other 2 albums are just good. Although stylistically, I'd rather see Funeral in the top 10 than all that Beatles nonsense.

I actually think Arcade Fire are pretty good, don't see how some people can love them as much as they do though but each to their own.

so essentially we need a clone thread of the "What is with the Beatles?" or a radiohead is overrated or what is it with OK Computer? (whatever that radiohead thread was called), just with a different name. These always end up positive (*cough*) and never just seem like an endless circle of name-calling and "your opinion is wrong" posts 🙄 .

Pitchfork gave Funeral a 9.7. This caused millions to go apeshit and praise and headcuntingly overhype the album to oblivion without actually listening to it. When Neon Bible and The Shitballs dropped, this hype continued. If Arcade Fire were to record an album of domestic violence by going to suspected houses, then that album would be considered the greatest album of all time simply because it is by Arcade Fire. This is the same thing as Radiohead. I hate people.
