I like Okkervil River though. I enjoyed that album.

i can't really agree on really comparing okkervil river and the arcade fire much at all besides the fact that they both have a very "indie" sound. and comparing muse and radiohead is REALLY valid considering radiohead is a DIRECT influence on Muse's work. Muse really took Radiohead's sound, took all of the creativity out of it, then added some orchestral bits and some harder rock influences and BAM! a hit was born.
