When Modest Mouse is considered to be the best american indie band, we have a problem.

Unless you're a fan of Spin and NME, they're not.

Spoon. I'd pick Sonic Youth if they weren't signed to Geffen.

I was talking about new indie bands, Sonic Youth have been around for awhile, have heard some Spoon, not bad.

Les Savy Fav are f*cking awesome. F*CKING AWESOME!!!!

Best new indie band would probably be Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

And I'm changing my favourite indie singer to Jeff Mangum from Neutral Milk Hotel, no one can touch that guy.

Bob Mould is the man, though I haven't been keeping up with him recently... something about electronica or something... you should probably put Grant Hart up there too. J. Mascis' voice can go completely to **** sometimes and other times it's absolutely orgasmic- either way I love it. But Bob Mould can still sing better. I would add Thurston Moore and Stephen Malkmus to the list too.
