Do you think The Suburbs is better than Neon Bible? I think their first album, Funeral, is their best album thus far. The Suburbs is still a great album though, in fact they've done a great job of having different sounds with each album while still having their own sound as a band.

And also how does a jazz chick beat Drake or Justin Bieber who were some of the biggest stars of the year? It's like if Stephen Curry got hurt and Davidson won the national title that year
Arcade Fire's The Suburbs hit #1 in the United States. Just because you've never heard of them doesn't mean they don't have a massive following. You never hear them
on the radio because they aren't signed to a major label. You have heard them on commercials though, I guarantee it. Whenever you hear a neat little sound on a commercial (typically on a car commercial), it's an Indie band.
Arcade Fire used to be an underground band that would pack smaller (read: normal) venues:
Now they're a band as popular as any in the world, headlining Lollapalooza:
Oh, plus they made Canada's TIME cover. Not a small feat:
