Your favorite Indie Rock Bands?

Husker Du, Big Black, The Replacements..

And to that guy with The Beatles avatar: you are awesome :D

Arctic Monkeys are pretty mainstream in the UK. Aren't they?

Pavement is good. I like Mercy Arms too. And Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is my favorite.

I love Turn On The Bright Lights, the first album by Interpol, seriously, it's some of the best stuff I've ever heard in any genre. Too bad after that they went completely downhill and just lost their touch, I don't know what happened to them, but I can't recognize an Interpol song anymore...

I also like a mexican band called Mocordio, I think that's all the indie rock I listen to.

I agree about Turn On The Bright Lights, but none of their albums after that did anything for me at all, the genius was just gone imo.

Also, Guided By Voices, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, and I suppose you could consider mewithoutyou, Minus The Bear, and Portugal. The Man

(I've just been listening to a lot of noise lately, literally, that and Godspeed You! Black Emperor lately so I may be out of synch of what is and isnt "indie" atm)

When I think "indie", I think alternative or sort of like modern rock, iunno. I guess it is supposed to mean independent. I really don't know

If by the first definition, I'd go with Radiohead.

If by the second, probably Torche, I heard about them because I heard they were a mix of Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, and they're pretty cool.

The problem is Song Seven is pretty much the only good thing they've done since Bright Lights, everything else just feels forced and uninspired imo.

And yes, Monocordio are really good, they really freshened up my music library when I discovered them, and Escalera is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Glad to see someone mention why?, great band.

Indie Rock isn't my thing, but I can't help admire The Killers.TristanShand

The Killers are indie? I absolutely loved Sam's Town.

ya I was kind of late to the interpol scene so I got all their stuff at once lol and I cant listen to the other stuff any more. Like you said, Song Seven is good but I feel like a big p**** listening to the new whiny songs.

I also forgot to mention TV on The Radio (the video for Province is simply awesome imo, and I cant explain why)

I didn't think that The Killers were indie, I could be wrong, i don't know the exact definition of indie.

ya I literally found out about them two weeks ago from the guy I work with. Theyre great, the lyrics are simply priceless!

"In Berlin I saw
two men ****
just the slight jingle
of pocket change pulsing"

"If you grew up with white boys
who only look at black and peurto rican porno
cuz they want something their dad dont got
then you know where youre at"

awesome
