and tell me, who said Pavement were "ever so unique"?

let me clarify...they're not particularly unique - they just don't get boring as quickly as the Arcade Fire do. It's not too hard to understand what I'm saying, so let's not pull quotes from our asses :)

Who said the Arcade Fire were unique? I've yet to tire of Funeral, Pavement has never interested me.

^Opposite for me, I got bored with Neon Bible fairly quick, Funerals I still listen to every now and then. But Pavement is a constant, steadfast, lover :).

nodoby said either band was unique, yet you still felt the need to bring it up.

i'm not going to say anything against Funeral because it's not a bad album, I just prefer Pavement who I find much more quirky and interesting - especilly on Slanted and Enchanted. You obviously disagree, so to each their own.

Funeral wins, you can view the results here: http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...on-thread.html
