Nope. Can't stand The XX, and sure as shit I was watching Bon Iver instead of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Really, is the xx the least talked about band that everyone went apeshit over last year? I gave the album at least ten listens, and saw them at Sasquatch, which was memorable for being one of the worst shows I can recall at the festival. I don't know if the sound was messed up, or if they were intentionally harmonizing a full beat off from each other, but it sounded awful. I think it was the belt sander, because I saw them play a song live on Palladia, and thought the same thing. I'm glad they went away.
I dont mind the XX album, it's not great, but I give it a listen once in a blue moon. Yeah, they sucked at sasquatch though. Still, that would be the only X band that I can say I have seen.

Thanks, ichunes for making this easy. And thanks to Friendly D, since I copy and pasted your list and used most of your answers.
Update: Just remembered after reading other comments that I'm pretty sure I saw The Used at some Warped Tour in high school.

I actually did better than I thought. Can't belive I couldnt come up with an H band though.
