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...

Suba- Sao Paulo Confessions - very good recording and something truly alternative also the tribute album to Suba is very good, but get the original first. The new Grandaddy disc is very good too.
Listening to Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights" as I write. At times they sound like Echo and the Bunneymen (Sheila Was A Diver And She Was Always Down) other times like Doors, and still others, like Psychedelic Furs. Clearly one of the best bands and best recordings in a long while.
