Did you have to make it that easy? Vampire Weekend is easily my favorite out of these. None of these are extremely bad(except for Fun), but none of them are really good(other than Vampire Weekend and MGMT). Of course I was never a huge fan of indie pop itself.

I had missed on that one. I'm going for MGMT.

Beach House: I loved Bloom, but I don't care too much for Teen Dream.
MGMT: I loved OS, but Congratulations is meh.
Yeasayer: Haven't listened.
Dirty Projectors: Really enjoyed Swing Lo Magellan, Bitte Orca would be much better without the tracks the girl sings on - it really kills it for me.
Girls/Fun: NO COMMENTS
Bon Iver: FE,FA was masterful, but Bon Iver was a let down.
Vampire Weekend: Didn't go crazy over neither album, but both were good and consistent enough.

I'm gonna say Vampire Weekend, followed by Bon Iver, Beach House, Dirty Projector, MGMT.

Only one going for Yeasayer.

For indie pop:
Go-Betweens (16 Lovers Lane and Liberty Belle)
Death Cab For Cutie (Transatlanticism and Plans)
Sarah Blasko (Overture And The Underscore and What The Sea Wants)
Aqualung (Aqualung and Memory Man)

Correct answer is actually The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - 'The Pains of Being Pure at Heart'/'Belong'

This thread isn't a strong point for me. Maybe I could listen to the new 'fun.' one as I liked the Aim & Ignite album?

Beach House are pleasant enough.

Tough one,I like 'Oracular Spectacular' and 'Vampire Weekend' end hugely,but I prefer 'Congratulations' to 'Contra',so MGMT it is.Although 'Congratulations' is a slap in the face to pop music if you ask me.
