Good list, but I probably would have taken out a few of them to add in:

The Decemberists - Picaresque
Pedro the Lion - Control
Red House Painters - Down Colourful Hill
Why? - Alopecia

There's so much more, but everything depends on your taste. A top however much albums for indie is too difficult, lol.

I'm doing a list of every Indie album I've ever heard - in order.

I've already done the top 100.

All those you mentioned feature on the list, some higher than others.

I actually started doing that, and I got to about 60, but it's pretty difficult. I think I'll start back, but in the more general idea of a top 100 of anything.

Good luck though, wouldn't mind seeing that list in thread form
