someone just reminded me a few posts back... Arcade Fire are definitely my favourite mainstream band. Pure class.

Yep, ripping off an entire song and adding bad lyrics. Amazing. His earlier work is really good though. Don't know how his new album will be though.

its almost not worth arguing with you, because you are a 5th grader who knows next to nothing about music, but I enjoy the entertainment that arguing with you brings. so

his 'earlier work'? he released his first album like, 3 years ago, what do you mean earlier work? this IS his earlier work. next, i'm not really sure what song you're talking about in the above post. did he rip off an entire ray charles song and add bad lyrics to it? first of all, he didn't 'rip off' and 'entire song', he 'sampled' the 'refrain' of ray charles' song. Maybe you were unaware, but hip hop music is founded on sampling. Public Enemy sampled James brown on ITANOMTHUB, NWA sampled funkadelic and kool and the gang. its ridiculous that i am having to explain what sampling is to an 10 year old kid, but c'mon.

I like the Cancer Bats when I'm not in a serious music mood. Don't know if they're considered mainstream, they don't really seem to have a mainstream attitude but I'm a bit sure I've seen a music video of theirs on T.V so I consider them mainstream.

Arcade Fire, Muse, White Stripes, Neverending White Lights
