Ok lets see...I didn't look at what was mentioned but I'll just label some bands. They are alphabetized and some are probably past the indie market now in popularity but I left em on the list. The * are my personal ratings, technically on a scale from 1* - 5* but there is nothing below a 3* on this list. The 5* are all my personal favorite bands. I forgot alot of bands but this is just off the top of my head.

Where's the Snow Patrol?!?!


Snow Patrol is good and I still consider them indie that just got popular, but I figured he'd have heard them by now. I was listening to them long before they blew up.

Wow the bands you guys posted are good ;O. I never listened to any of them except Modest Mouse and b/c of this thread im converted to indie(?) music. I checked out some of the bands and I was wondering if there are any other songs/bands that sound like the song from Bright Eyes "First Day of My Life." For some reason I like that song, but hey I never listened to this kind of music so i wouldn't know. thx again fro this thread and the suggestions of the other posters ^_^

I don't listen to indie fyi... but this city (Grand Rapids, MI) is obsessed with indie rock, so all my college buddies rave about it I and I have to hear a lot of certain bands over and over (usually Stars from my roommate)

Big names afaik that I haven't seen here much (one guy mentioned I think):
Sufjan Stevens (I don't like him much, but he's really really popular here, maybe because he's from around here) and Iron and Wine (indie folk, even though I like neither indie nor folk that much I must say I like some Iron and Wine).... Also maybe you could try some Nickel Creek!

Eliot Smith is the best imo but everyone listed him... XO is best.

Thanks for reading,
Kaotu

That's a terrific song. Too bad nothing else Conor writes lives up to it -_-'. Elliott Smith has the most in common with what you're looking for. Say Yes is an awesome love song:


that's supposedly his last show before he decided to stab himself through the heart. very sad .

also a similar song from the beatles:


some more similar sounding elliott smith:

I definitely suggest The Shins, Camera Obscura, Belle and Sebastian, Blonde Redhead, The Black Keys, and The Hold Steady. Oh! And my favorite album ever: Everything Last Winter by Fields. Really really solid. Wolfmother is also really good, tho their not really indie.

Has anyone listened to the Broken Bells album? It's really really good! It's a collaboration album with James Mercer (The Shins) and Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse; of Gnarls Barkley fame). It's swiftly becoming one of my favorite albums.

I've been listening to Mumford & Sons a whole lot recently. They've got that British folk/bluegrass combination that is impossible not to love. Their upcoming concert in my city (Portland, home of a million indie fans) has been sold out for months.

I'll second modest mouse. They are a band worth investing time in as every song is quite a piece (if you want to call it garagey pieces fine by me).

^ I hate it. I found it boring like their other albums. I feel ashamed but I just can't get into any of them. I love every band they get compared to but just can't seem to understand Arcade Fire =/

I don't mind Mumford and Suns as well as Broken Bells but never really got hooked on either.

But I'm seeing Crystal Castles and Black Keys live so all is good. Also Girls.

Too bad this is kind of dated.

Four albums that changed my life and I hope hope hope some others get into em :D.

1. Low Level Owl I & II- The Appleseed Cast
2. Turn On the Bright Lights - Interpol
3. Feels - Animal Collective
4. Seven Swans - Sufjan Stevens

I'm one of those people who doesn't like to keep up with all the new music trends and gets tired of the hype sometimes. These albums are like the fun uncle you're happy to see and always brings firecrackers.

A lot of the other music in this thread is great too.
