I've no beef with James Murphy.
And I think it's safe to say Arcade Fire has also earned their stripes. Even if you hate them, you probably love at least one song so much it makes your teenage heart break. Again, no beef. They've done fine, and they've helped make "rock" and alternative at least a little bit more classy and intelligent than it was.
Not that I like Mumford and sons.
