Arcade Fire = best band of this current musical generation

I'm not sure it's close. Every album outside of maybe Neon Bible is a classic and will be referred to on all top albums of the 2000/10's list for the rest of time. You could argue Funeral is the best album made in 10-15 years.
They have their own completely unique sound. They put on one of the best live shows in the world. And they write creative and emotionally moving music that is complex but still catchy as hell.
I was trying to think of who the current "Beatles" is in the world, the band that will have the most lasting musical impression on the world, and I keep coming back to Arcade Fire as that band. I know they aren't obviously the same cultural phenomenon, but they're the best all-around band going right now.
What say you MB? Who is your "Beatles" of the 2000s/2010s?

Maybe Radiohead. But I'd probably also go with Arcade Fire.

Too bad you're in lolBR or you could have seen Win Butler DJing at The Saint this past weekend

Sigur Ros

The Killers or Silversun Pickups would be my vote.

cut/copy could give them a run for their money if they keep producing awesome albums

Where should I start?

I really like Sigur Ross, but I agree its hard to crown them when I don't understand what they're saying.
I think The White Stripes will last. I think the prime time Chili Peppers will last/are lasting. And like em or hate em, Coldplay is going to last.
Don't mean to insult anyone's musical preferences but bands like Silversun Pickups (which I also enjoy) and Cut/Copy and jesus christ Imagine Dragons just aren't even close to the same level as Radiohead, Beatles, MJ, etc.

Arcade Fire? 
Posted on 5/13/14 at 12:22 pm to danman6336
If someone put a gun to my head, I may be able to spit out 1 or 2 names of Arcade Fire songs. And I listen to a ton of music from a variety of genres. I'm pretty sure the majority of my friends, who go to a lot of concerts, would have similar trouble.
Anecdotal, and perhaps it doesn't actually contest Arcade Fire is the best, but I'm not sure we'll view them as classic. There is so much music out there that avid music fans can miss huge entries in a genre. I don't think that was as true in the 90s and before.

I would think John Mayer, Linkin Park, Justin Timberlake, and Avenged Sevenfold will have a longer lasting influence from the 2000's.

Haven't read this thread, but I hope that it was discovered that this OP was bait.

Confession: I had never heard of Arcade Fire until I saw this thread.
There are no Beatles of the 2000s/2010s. I don't think there can ever be again, as a matter of fact. That ship has sailed.
So, I've listened to a few Arcade Fire songs now... I think I like Reflektor the most so far.
