i'll just make a list of music that's actually under the genre of 'indie' in my music pile, though i have more:

Bright Eyes (definetly look them up)
The Decemberists
Hard-Fi
Hot Chip (afaik this is more electronic than indie)
Imogen Heap (again not really all that indie imo)
Keane
The Killers
Ladytron (again more of an electronic band)
Meg and Dia
The Rapture House
The Red Jumpsuit Apparratus
Robots in Disguise (another eletronic sounding band)
Silversun Pickups
Snow Patrol
Spoon
Taking Back Sunday
The Strokes

anyway, that's just music actually listed under 'indie', i'm too lazy to actually go through my music and find a list of indie music. out of that list of music i'd recommend most; Bright Eyes, The Strokes, The Killers, Snow Patrol and Silversun Pickups.

You need to relabel your music, because a lot of that is not indie.

It's Led Zeppelin.

Don't bother responding, I'd prefer to hear from people who judge music on merit and not some bizarre arbitrary moral standard of musicianship. (IE some people I've never met nor will never meet have somehow offended my delicate musical sensibilities by making money off of an album that doesn't significantly deviate from any previous albums nor pander to any mainstream ideal of music, but rather intangibly annoys me to the point where I must express righteous indignation to anyone who'll listen to my baseless complaints).


selling out = making a really good debut album then gaining widespread recognition so that they're afraid to deviate from the original formula but don't have the same inspiration as before thus the 2nd album turns into a desperate copy of the first even adding songs that were released previously but remixed slightly = arcade fire

i judge music by how good it is son, dont accuse me of that indie moral musicianship shit

Well, the term 'selling out' also swings the other way. The artist gets successful and successive albums are worse because they sound different, presumably because they're motivated to make more money in less time rather than actually putting out artistic content. A lot of fans want to hear the same sound over and over again, and they call it selling out when the group changes or grows ie. Green Day.

I'll chime in.

Kudos to those of you who've recommended Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Postal Service, and Sufjan Stevens. I second those nominations, Sufjan especially. Fuck, I LOVE Sufjan. If you download nothing else I recommend, get some Sufjan. Sample:



Some stuff others didn't pick up:
Iron & Wine
The National
Wilco (is this indie? who cares)
Damien Rice (I only like 10% of his stuff, but the 10% i like a lot)
kimya dawson
belle and sebastian
andrew bird
Okkervil River (definitely try these guys. my 2nd favorite band)
in Afghanistan we have 20% literacy rate

Neon Bible may not be as good as Funeral, but it's certainly not some "desperate copy", and I made this blog to find new music, not to have someone come in a pontificate about how shitty stuff I already like is.

If you want to sit in your little ivory tower and bend the definition of 'selling out' to whatever band you're currently railing against, do it in your own blog.

eh, I think people only consider Green Day as sellouts in an attempt to disassociate themselves from a lot of the fans they've been bringing in lately.

Nah, Green Day were being labeled sell outs as soon as they moved away from the CA punk scene. That was pretty early on. Not that the people were right, but I do remember San Diego punk bitches getting their panties in a twist.
