I'd definitely put White Stripes over Arcade Fire, but I think it can be argued that the success of Funeral and the anticipation for Neon Bible reawoke some feelings that just don't exist anymore, or at least not to the same degree as past decades. However that said, we need to think of what defined the past decade and I think the sole defining aspect of the '00's was the change in the distribution of music, so maybe Yankee Hotel Foxtrot deserves the nod.
