Generally speaking, I prefer songs that feature Amy Milan's vocals much more than those that feature Torquil Campbell.

It's the interplay of the voices. Torq's part and Amy's part that I enjoy the most. The different perspectives and almost conversational nature.
Midnight Coward and
Personal are two of my favorites for this reason.
That being said
Take me to the Riot is probably my all time favorite.
And I agree that Torquil is the uber pretentious artist stereotype. I stopped following him on Twitter during the last federal election. He was frankly being super annoying. I mean I don't agree with Harper all the time either, but he was just being super disrespectful of even the position of PM.
What songs in particular grind your gears?
He Lied About Death?
edit: I probably enjoy being a little bit pretentious.
