The top 20 are:
20. TV on the Radio
19. Of Montreal
18. Pixies
17. The Decemberists
16. Ted Leo
15. Wilco
14. Sufjan Stevens
13. The Avett Brothers
12. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings
11. The Hold Steady
10. Sigur Ros
9. U2
8. Bruce Springsteen
7. Polyphonic Spree
6. My Morning Jacket
5. Janelle Monae
4. Tom Waits
3. Radiohead
2. The Flaming Lips
1. Arcade Fire
I would have to completely agree with Paste Magazine about this list. Although I've only seen 2 out of the 20 acts live, I have listened almost religiously to all of these bands. I can only imagine what it would be like to see Of Montreal, Radiohead, or Sigur Ros live. If you can't see these bands live I would suggest listening to all of them if you haven't already. Everyone likes to listen to new music anyways so enjoy.

I've only seen two of these acts as well and both were amazing (Sigur Ros, TVOTR). Nice list Paste!
You should show this list to U of MN students. They might actually get excited about U2 coming to play at their stadium. ha
YES!!! JM totally deserves to be on this list! She is such a force on stage and absolutely captivating...from her energy, to painting on stage, to just having great vocals...she's an all around wondaful performer.
