This is the Built To Spill album I always come back to. I am slowly realizing that is definitely one of the best of the 90s.

I think that a couple of their albums could be considered essential indie albums.

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
The Replacements - Let It Be (does this one count?)

thought of 5 that have not been metioned yet...

Jesus and Mary Chain – Psychocandy
Postal Service – give up
Reindeer section – Son of Evil Reindeer
Hood – Outside Closer
Low – things we lost in the Fire

Built To Spill- Keep It Like A Secret
The Pixies- Doolittle
Slint- Spiderland
Neutral Milk Hotel- On Avery Island
Dinosaur Jr- Bug

Sorry, I don't listen to a whole lot of Indie Rock so I'm not sure if all of these fit into the category but these are some albums that I enjoy.

^ Great list there, except I've never heard Bug.
