re: Arcade Fire = best band of this current musical generation

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.
