Favorite "Indie" Band - Blu-ray Forum

JasonR · 05-23-2008, 02:16 AM

Mine would be Modest Mouse, even though they aren't technically indie anymore.

I have DCFC's Narrow Stairs coming in the mail, that album has been reviewed really well and I can't wait to get it. I have tickets to see Modest Mouse in July, and I just saw Radiohead a couple weeks ago. I love Coldplay too, but I am not sure they are really indie so I will leave them out. My favorites list probably goes something like this.

1. Modest Mouse
2. Sufjan Stevens
3. Radiohead
4. Death Cab for Cutie
5. The Shins
6. The Postal Service
7. Iron and Wine
8. The Flaming Lips
9. Pixies
10. Ben Folds
11. Wilco
12. Spoon
13. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
14. The New Pornographers
15. The Decemberists
16. Bright Eyes
17. Arcade Fire
18. Jack Johnson
19. The Polyphonic Spree
20. Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Oh, and if you have Sirius listen to Left of Center (Channel 26)!!!!

You have good taste

The Flaming Lips are amazing

Flyfrnk1624 · 05-23-2008, 04:40 AM

Spoon should be a lot higher on that list...Ga Ga Ga Ga GA , Gimme Fiction and Kill The Moonlight are all superb albums

I wholeheartedly disagree .

Azyiu · 05-23-2008, 08:12 AM

I think this film is considered as an Indie, although it has a much bigger budget than most. It is certainly one of my favs

Bubba Ho-Tep

hc666 · 05-23-2008, 11:37 AM

Metric
King's X -> greatest band ever... around since the mid 80s and just released a new cd on May 20th!

Just my personal favorites. Let's see your list....

Bluoholic · 05-23-2008, 01:39 PM

indie jones is my all time fav

xander · 05-23-2008, 01:45 PM

Rather than debating the merits on what constitutes Indie, here's my favs:

-Alkaline Trio
-Thrice
-Rilo Kiley (or anything Jenny Lewis related, i.e. Postal Service or Watson Twins)
- Mindless Self Indulgence
- Tapes N Tapes
- Polar Bear Club
- Fugazi
- Minus The Bear
- M83

I try to find a way to work Peter Cetera era Chicago into every music list as the best, but even I'm stretching it to classify that anywhere near Indie.

Flux88MPH · 05-23-2008, 02:06 PM

Too hard to pick just one but here are a few...ok so more than a few.

Cursive / the Good Life
the Thermals
Nada Surf
Bad Astronaut / Lagwagon / the Playing Favorites
Jawbreaker / Jets to Brazil
Death Cab for Cutie / Postal Service
Dinosaur Jr. / J Mascis
Drive Like Jehu
Explosions in the Sky
Metric / Emily Haines
Sunny Day Real Estate / Fire Theft / Jeremy Enigk
Fugazi
Great Northern
Hot Water Music
Hum
Jimmy Eat World
M83
Mates of State
Mew
Modest Mouse
Pixies
Say Hi To Your Mom
Seaweed
Silversun Pickups
Superdrag
Texas is the Reason

davidxiphoid · 05-23-2008, 02:30 PM

Underoath, Celtic Frost, Death Cab, Giddy Motors, Chisel, Team Dresch, are just a few

Go Blue · 05-23-2008, 03:49 PM

Do Arctic Monkeys count? They are far and away my favorite right now.

mightypen · 05-23-2008, 03:53 PM

Death Cab's Cd was a terrible disappointment to me, but then again, I like their older songs much more than their new, so it was a trend.

I don't agree. I thought most of their "Absolution" album was quite good, especially "Apocalypse Please"

I also like:

LetterKills
The Almost
Finch
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (though I don't think they're "indie" anymore)
