Elliott smith is good.
Explosions in the sky is good.
Modest mouse is good. You might hear otherwise from other people (obviously), but you at least have to check out The Moon + Antarctica, and The Lonesome Crowded West.
if you want electronica type stuff, all you have to do is ask dave[9]. He posted a thread of his six favorite albums. I have two of them (trentemoller and Apparat, iirc) and they're really off the fucking hook.
Menomena is good. Check out the song "wet and rusting".
The Postal Service has ben Gibbard in it, and i think they're better than Deathcab.
Also check out: My bloody valentine, sigur ros, Justice, M83, LCD Soundsystem, and Broken Social Scene.
Those are just acouple of the bands i like that i think you might want to take a looksee into.

I think Elliott Smith might be the most over-rated musician of all time, but that's me personally and I don't want to get into some argument about it.
I like explosions, and I know some Modest Mouse.
I'll look into menomena, and I know Postal Service well.
My Bloody Valentine is underwhelming imo, Sigur Ros is amazing and I love all their CD's, I recently downloaded a bunch of M83 based off of their Bloc Party remixes, but I don't particularly like them, and I'll look into Broken Social Scene.
Thanks!

If you like ambient, above ALL: Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, The Mercury Program, This Will Destroy You, Mogwai, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Gregor Samsa, Jesu
I pretty much hate Death Cab, Arcade Fire (more than anybody ever), Bloc Party, etc. But, trust me, if you like them, you'll like Portugal The Man, Vetiver, and Talk Talk, Minus The Bear, etc.
I freaking know too much music that I can make recommendations even if I hate it, hahaha crap. But for the first part, those bands are absolutely amazing.

I'll give them a shot. I like Mogwai and Godspeed already, so I'll try the others.
I don't understand at all how you can hate Arcade Fire, but I'll try out those bands too.

Heh I saw him(them) a few times when I was in highschool, mostly at the behest of a girl. Not very interesting, and only got worse as they went along.

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

Thanks. I know most of those bands, but I'll certainly check out the ones I don't.

death cab is for pussies, arcade fire sold out, nmh is the led zepplin of singer songwriter indie, placing nmh among your list is an insult to me and I take it personally. dashboard is music thats sold out but was made for and by pussies to begin with.

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).

The Shins! Some songs include: Caring is creey, New slang, Australia.
Faker songs are good too. Listen to them for awhile and get used to them. Start off with "This heart attack".
Enjoy!~~
