Abstain. Oddly, this one is too tough for me to chose.

Easy choice the stones have better albums, better single and have shown they can be consistently good (so have Arcade Fire but I feel that the Stones have proved it more so).

I like Funeral more than any RS album, but the Stones at their best are definitely better than Arcade Fire.

Arcade Fire deals with a special kind of emotiveness, in which it is key to show a certain vulnerability, but the Stones keep the emotiveness at their most macho, e.g. No Satisfaction (that song is less about the riff than it is that they are literally never happy). I could ramble on, but the bottom line is that I like both bands yet find the Rolling Stones albums and tracks to be better than Arcade Fire.

Totally this. Nice paragraph.

Rolling Stones.

Arcade fire is pretty dull I find. I don't find the lyrics appealing (any more) and while the musicianship is generally quite good, they don't play a style that I find interesting.

I've seen U2, the Stones and Arcade Fire live. All three are great live!

Yeah, what purple said.

Stones in this one. I really think they're both great though.

Abstained cause they're both not really good. Arcade Fire has nothing good, but nothing bad. Rolling stones has some good stuff, but a lot of shit too.
