I think Little Lion Man played on EVERY radio station nonstop for most of the past year. Except maybe classic rock stations.
Anyway, I did buy that album. Haven't listened to it enough yet, that's for sure! I've yet to load it onto my computer.

Offline Mumford and Sons are amazing. I would really like to see them in concert. They make banjos cool. The Cave is such a good song.

. Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs. So (and in the backseat, such a disadvantage), I ask someone to crank it up, and then me and my brother started singing.
Pun intended?
I don’t think Arcade Fire have ever done anything that wasn’t genius.
I don't mind Mumford and Sons either, though their musical tracks sound eerily similar in every song. My favourite song of theirs is Winter Winds.

Certainly not intended. And I agree wholeheartedly.

Offline Okay, Arcade Fire fans, what album would you recommend to a new listener to start off with?
(There have been so many posts on how good they are that I am expecting a band of Beatles calibre, just fyi.

They aren't quite as listenable as the Beatles, but they are pretty darn good. They're much more grandiose. Their songs tend to have McCartney's emotional side and Lennon's growling commentary.
Annoyingly, I haven't listened to The Suburbs all the way through because I don't own a copy and they aren't on Spotify. I'd recommend Funeral ahead of Neon Bible. I wrote about both albums on my tumblr a while ago, here is a link: http://brailli.tumblr.com/music – I also talk about my other 18 favourite albums of the past 20 years, Neon Bible and Funeral are at 8 and 4 respectively.
I'm post the opening tracks from both albums for you:

Yeah I like them actually. I liked The Suburbs the most I think. May have to give them a bit more of a listen. 
Thank you!

The Suburbs is probably my least favourite AF album. I’d start with Funeral, which is just stunning.
Can buy me love! Please consider supporting the Beatles Bible on Amazon
Or buy my paperback/ebook! Riding So High – The Beatles and Drugs
Don't miss The Bowie Bible – now live!

Offline Definitely the Rolling Stones. Most of my friends think it's wierd that I like both, especially with all the Stones vs. Beatles debates going on. But they aren't fans of either, so I just ignore them.

I've been listening lately to Radiohead's Kid-A. Brilliant album.
And the thing is that I didn't realize they also sing Creep, until someone pointed out today. I don't like that song, but that album, I insist, brilliant.

Offline I have listened to Radiohead a lot, but very little of their material sticks with me. I couldn't hum the tune to Karma Police, for example.
Paranoid Android is fantastic though, and Kid A is supposed to be a really good album (I don't remember disliking it, at least).

My favourite at the moment is either The Strokes or The Wombats, with Arctic Monkeys in third. I'm seeing Arctic Monkeys in January. It's gonna be awesome.

WHAT?! Oh my goodness. Very very jealous.
As for the Radiohead discussion above, I enjoy them but it did take me a long time to get used to them. I love Separator off the new album, The King of Limbs, and a few others that I like are 15 Step and High and Dry. Rather chill music.
I am really liking my britpop right now, that's for sure. Arctic Monkeys, Kooks, etc.

Offline Oh, Radiohead! They're basically my fourth favorite band of all time. OK Computer is absolutely fantastic, though I'm currently obsessing over the song “Fake Plastic Trees”.

Oh good, another Arcade Fire fan! I recently had a listen to Neon Bible and really liked it. Still need to purchase the Suburbs though…
