Anyone here who loves Arcade Fire's music? I'm listening to it right now. I have Funeral and Neon Bible, and I think they both have great songs :D

A few of my favourite songs(even though I like all of them):

No cars go
The neighbourhood series
Neon bible
Black mirror
keep the car running
Cars and telephones
Haiti

No they are indeed NOTHING like them.

They are a baroque rock band from montreal, I have all three of their albums.

No Cars Go (both versions, the original is on the EP) is my favourite, followed by Black Wave/Bad Vibration, Neon Bible, Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), Une Annee Sans Lumiere, and Intervention.

Their music is like no genre I've ever heard of :D Something described it as indie rock, but I don't know.......

as i said, baroque rock, or romantic rock, not lovey-dovey romantic, but romantic period. Big, extravagant, beautiful music.

Man, I really like these guys. Actually, there was a recent article on them in Paste Magazine, which was really good.

I personally like the Neighborhood series the best.

yeah arcade fire is a super band, I got their first album back in early 2005 and now they are just getting more successful and successful. I think their best songs are neighbourhood #2 and neighbourhood #3 and in regards to the new album, antichrist television blues is an amazing song. Anyone who compares them to panic! at the disco deserves to be shot 8)

Sunset Rubdown probably fit into the same sort of category perhaps?

I would say the flaming lips are sliiiiightly similar, but both are unique really.
