5. Queens of the Stone Age

October 14, Roy Wilkins Auditorium

Queens of the Stone Age played St. Paul more than once this year, but their sold-out first of two appearances won our listeners' hearts. The rock band cranked the volume and fired up the strobes, jamming through tunes new and old to celebrate the release of Villains.

4. Arcade Fire

October 29, Xcel Energy Center

After Arcade Fire released Everything Now this year, most fans found it to be an overall disappointment. Ticket sales for their Xcel show decelerated accordingly, which meant thousands missed out on one of the most fun shows of the year, a vibrant spectacle for the senses despite the band's lackluster recent music. Here's intern Jeyca Maldonado-Medina's take:

Every time I thought we were at the peak, Arcade Fire raised the energy a little more. During "Reflektor," Régine Chassagne went out and danced with the crowd. For "Afterlife," Win Butler also entered the crowd, even coming to the seated section I happened to be in. The final song, "Wake Up," had so much energy behind it that people sang at the top of their lungs.

3. LCD Soundsystem

November 9, Roy Wilkins Auditorium

LCD Soundsystem's new album American Dream made number three on our listeners' Top 10 Albums of 2017. So it shouldn't be a surprise that many of the same people voted for the band's recent show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Like many shows at the Roy, it suffered from questionable acoustics, but James Murphy and company overcame them just fine.

2. Rock the Garden

July 22, Walker Art Center/Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Oh hey, that's us! Co-presented by The Current and the Walker Art Center, this summer's Rock the Garden brought 11,000 people to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden to see music from Bon Iver, the Revolution, and more. Here's what I reported about the headlining set:

Bon Iver have the ability to leave audience members slack-jawed, lost in a quiet wonder. It's a warm kind of immobility, a stock-still inertia; after it surged during a shred-heavy "Creature Fear," the effect let up during sing-along tune "Skinny Love." But once encore "Beth/Rest" started chiming across the field, sounding not unlike the famous theme from Chariots of Fire, people stood entranced everywhere.

1. U2

September 8, U.S. Bank Stadium

Gargantuan rock band U2 helped break in our new, gargantuan stadium on their Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour. Here's what Andrea Swensson had to say about their stirring show:

In these tumultuous times it's gotten so easy to feel cynical; to hunker down beneath layers of irony and anger and fear; to wonder whether anything really matters at all anymore. But when the lights lowered, the crowd yelped, and one by one the band walked calmly onto the stage that jutted out into the main floor and got to work like heart surgeons: Larry Mullen, Jr. monitoring the pulse, Adam Clayton wielding the scalpel, the Edge cracking the chest wide open and Bono holding the whole pulsating, beating mess in his bare hands. I was shattered human again.
