Your Favorite Indie/Alternative Band

Still Arcade Fire then, followed by... Well, U2's alternative era was pretty awesome from Unforgettable Fire to Achtung Baby. Haven't heard anything past that. I'll say this. Joshue Tree beats any Radiohead album.

U2 is for people whose lives are so interesting that they can't handle it when their music makes them pick up their heads. That's what draws them to artists like U2 and Phil Collins: everyone needs a little mind numbing boredom in their lives, and they do the trick.

Plus, I'm more into pop rock than alternative and I like the 80's more than the 90's.

I'll say this. I rthink Radiohead's overall discography is better than the U2 that I've heard, but I would easily say The Joshua Tree is a better album than anthing they have. That one U2 album.
