Calling all indie rockers...


Is there anybody out there?

The whole idea of Hi-Fi doesn't particularly lend itself to the often low quality recordings in the indie rock world, but I'm a music lover, not a gear lover. And for me, the indie scene is responsible for most of the best music being made today (exceptions being Radiohead, Beck, Flaming Lips, and a few others). So, anybody up for a thread of their favorite indie albums of say, the last decade? Here's my quick list:

1. Sunny Day Real Estate - How it feels to be something on (Sub Pop, 1998)
2. Yo La Tengo - I can hear the heart beating as one (Matador, 1997)
3. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights (Matador, 2002)
4. Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (Fat Cat, 2000)
5. Grandaddy - The Software Slump (V2, 2000) is V2 an indie?

Okay indie rockers, I know you're out there...

Anything by the FALL...Mark E Smith is god...I have coined them "abstract rock"...whatever that means...start with Bend Sinister, This Nations Saving Grace, or the Wonderful and Frightening world of the Fall....

Also...late Aussie band the Swell Maps...
Well..if you dont like Saving Grace chances are you probably wont like anything else by the FALL...it is one of their more "commerical" records...and features Brix on guitar...
