A lot of people were shocked when The Suburbs won the Grammy for best album a couple of years ago, but in retrospect it makes more sense. The Arcade Fire stretch the limits of pop music without stepping far outside the boundaries; they're intelligent but never lose the primacy of the beat; and their lyrics are neither stupid nor preachy. Here they are on Jools Holland's show in 2010. H/t PK @ NYT.
