  • probably the best of their songs, however, as you don't have to listen to Geddy Lee's voice.
    Sums up my feelings on Rush nicely. Great technique, no soul, and I cringe whenever the vocals come in.

      Note that I can't name a single good Canadian band under either interpretation of the question.
      The Arcade Fire

          • They're pretentious French *****. Don't stoop to this level just to try and prove me wrong.

            edit:
            "I'm a fan of them on one level, but on another level I get really tired of their pompousness," says Coyne. "We've played some shows with them and they really treat people like ****. Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like ****, they treated the audience like ****. They treated everybody in their vicinity like ****. I thought, 'Who do they think they are?' I don't know why people put up with it. I wouldn't put up with it. I don't care if it's Arcade Fire or Brian Eno. If either of them walked into a room and treated people like **** I'd be like, '**** you, get outta here.'

            He continues, "People treat Arcade Fire like they're the greatest thing ever and they get away with it. Those sort of opinions change my view of their music. They have good tunes, but they're ******, so **** 'em. Who does Arcade Fire think they are? I've been around groups. I've been around the Edge from U2 and he's the ****ing sweetest guy ever. I was around Justin Timberlake when he was young and he was just a normal, nice, kind person. Anyone can be polite and kind and people who have the privilege and money and attention should understand that. If they don't, then **** 'em."

              Here are two, off the top of my head:

              Clinic, debuted in '99



              Art Brut, debuted in '05



              The UK's output is pretty decent, normalized by population. Far better than Canadia.

              Their main problem doesn't really have to do with rock, but is that Euros have zero affinity for hip hop.

              • Art Brut is ****ing awful.

                Disclaimer: The only song I have heard of theirs is the new one about alcoholism or whatever.

                Never heard of Clinic, so I've no doubt they're an outstanding arthouse band which no one cares for but those with an image to project.

                • The newest British band that is any good is Band of Skulls.

                          Art Brut's newer albums are inferior to their debut. The second album is awful, and the third one (where that song is probably from) is ok.

                          Never heard of Clinic, so I've no doubt they're an outstanding arthouse band which no one cares for but those with an image to project.

                          Coming from a guy who's first example of an outstanding rock band is Arcade Fire.

                              They're not obscure in the slightest.

                                I probably wouldn't keep bagging on their video if that was the case.

                                Who wouldn't? Two points...

                                1. Drummers are usually the craziest and most athletic people in bands. Good if you like it rough.
