No, I was telling you why those bands weren't indie. To both you and the guy above me, out of those bands I like...

Doves
Franz Ferdinand
The Strokes
The Libertines
Death Cab For Cutie

[Most] of the rest I find boring, derivative, and generic (to be fair, that description could also fit Franz and The Strokes).

I've never heard a song by Simian, and I don't care either way about The White Stripes.
