well isnt that a beauty of a list you provided.
Other than one..maybe two songs.. Arcade Fire is putrid. Hot indie band though...but they will inevitably fade away because they dont offer mainstream music.
Listened to pieces of most of the others too except Broken Social Scene, Godspeed You Black Emperor & Hawksley Workman.
I can pretty much guarantee you that Nickleback will be around long after these groups die a quick death.

Well I agree the list given is quite fashionable and it's very easy to like The Arcade Fire nowadays, I believe you are underestimating their potential. People like Bowie, Bono and Chris Martin are raving over this band and it's not because it seems like it's a cool thing to do.
Here's the lead story from a leading UK music puplication

It may not be Mainstream music but it's close enough that they've been able to gain Major Canadian radio success on 2 singles from Funeral. That's more than what many Canadian "Mainstream" bands can say.
