Cookie Mountain, Neon Bible is pretty much a piece of shit compared to it.

Gotta go with quite possibly the worst album title by a major artist (in Obner terms) over Garcade.

I can only get into 2 or 3 songs from Cookie. So Garcade.

TV on the Radio has gotten worse with each album... so that only makes this their second best. Definitely nowhere near Neon Bible.

Arcade Fire aren't a very good band.

I was pretty disappointed in that Arcade Fire when it came out and I came close to completely burning myself out on TV On the Radio with their first ep, but regained some interest after seeing them live... still a close call, but I'm going with TVOTR.

I would think the SSM would favour tennis-sweatered preps who think they're art-damaged to "scarily afro'd" really art-damaged middle-class kids.

Go with what you know.

(& that said, yes, I still really like Vampire Weekend. But I balance that out with Bling Kong.)
