Frankly, I think they're a little overrated. Yeah, their first album was good. It had some killer tunes. But is it really the 430th greatest album of all time? I'd say no. A lot of the songs got a little boring after a few spins also. Haven't listened to their other two albums just yet.

Modern Vampires Of The City is one of the best albums of the 2010's. Father Of The Bride (their next album) is coming out very soon. Wouldn't be surprised if they get in in the near future.

Their latest album Father of the Bride proved that Vampire Weekend is worthy of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. These guys are just awesome.

They should get in within the first five years of eligibility.

Like Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend is overpraised by music critics simply because they're hipsters who came from the college scene.

The fact that these guys just earned an Album of the Year nod for Father of the Bride puts them in the right direction.

..And also their 2014 album Modern Vampires of the City has been in many decade-end lists of greatest albums of the 2010s.
