I first heard the name Arcade Fire when curled up in my sleeping bag at 11000' in the High Sierras. My backpacking bud was reading an article about them in Rolling Stone. Wondering if I might recognize a song, I asked him to sing me a song. He wouldn't, despite my begging and offering chocolate and being a nuisance! But later he sent me a video of a live performance of this song.
That was my start. Loved them.

Why is this band so popular??? Their live show looks interesting but there's nothing to the music. Boring....

Looking at your comments on some other Arcade Fire tracks, I'm starting to get the impression that you don't like Arcade Fire very much. |

Abba without the attractive melodies. The sound of Arcade Fire on the office speaker system illicits immediate pleading to change the station from every corner - fast, fast, fast. People begging to turn it off. Honestly, pound, pound, pound, pound, pound behind a man with no vocal talent whatsoever. Their popularity mystifies me. I've never met anyone who likes them - never.

At least everyone had heard of Milli Vanilla. They were, like, sooo popular. Sheesh! Everyone knows who Eminem is too. Of course he deserved to win. At least he's American! The masses are asses. Go Arcade Fire! |

Well said about Grammy relevance. I always assumed 'Album of the Year' meant 'highest grossing' until now.
