In 50 wide-ranging lists, TIME surveys the highs and lows, the good and the bad, of the past 12 months
2. Arcade Fire, The Suburbs
Arcade Fire's three albums have been named after funerals, bibles and now that all-American creation, the 'burbs. This seven-piece band isn't afraid to think big and tackles grand topics with confidence. Here, Arcade Fire explores our love-hate relationship with suburbia (after all, one man's familial comfort is another man's soulless uniformity), with bittersweet vocals and orchestral arrangements that make shopping at Target or owning a Honda representative of something significant. On The Suburbs, there are no white-picket-fence clichés, no ditties about a couple named Jack and Diane. This is not American music but rather music about America. So who cares if the band's Canadian?
