Gah! I was quasi-appalled by this statement, I honestly despise them, anyone else? Please? (Just wanted to get back on topic, somewhat)

Speed of the Sound of Lonliness is a GREAT song.
Unfortunately, that's the only one I know. :(

I don't like them either. Nor do I care for Modest Mouse and The Strokes.
My friend was all, "c'mon! you're just saying that to be a hipster snob. 'oh, four other people like them... they can't be cool!' and all that. Give them a shot!"
So I did, I really, truly tried. I meditated on it. I just... don't. The Strokes are okay, and The Killers/Modest Mouse can turn out a decent tune every now and then... but it all just makes me wonder why The Arcade Fire isn't hella famous instead of these jerks.

Well for modest mouse because of the angry factor. Though I must add I do like modest mouse. (not because of the angry factor)

Now I'm confused...I put them in the indie bracket in the sense that they're a guitar band, and they have fans who are into bloc party, kaiser chiefs et al and spend their time clogging up the indie press more than, say, smash hits or other mags, not because of label or underground status - indie bands can get popular too. That they are insufferably annoying is another matter, but a fair bit of indie is shite too...
that's my view, anyway.
