I saw them on that tour in an 18,000 seat arena with about 5,000 people. It was an awesome show but I felt bad for them.

Reflektor is awesome!

Re: arcade fire, i’m one for the few people that will take Reflektor over The Suburbs. That album just did nothing for me. Reflektor is great.

I love The Who, but I'd replace them with Pink Floyd on that Mount Rushmore.

I’d keep them on if we’re doing that. The Who from their debut through the 70s are pretty much untouchable, with their latter output sometimes lackluster but mostly still pretty decent.

Pink Floyd, while I love their catalogue in whole, has periods that are really tough to digest, and while Dark Side of the Moon in particular probably belongs on a Popular Opinions Mount Rushmore of albums, Pink Floyd probably just misses that designation as a band.

I love Pink Floyd but they do not embody rock and roll to me. Leave the Who. Although in reality it would probably be: Chuck Berry, Elvis, Beatles, Stones.

I mean if you had a fifth, even though I really enjoyed the journey and all they are not on my list of favorite bands, but you may have to put U2 there. I do quite enjoy them though, especially after that album journey.

Also probably Dylan and Springsteen as well.

Bob Dylan doesn't even rock. He just mumbles poetry!
