You've got pretty nice favorites, I must say!
At the moment I can't listen to music due to an injury on my left ear,
that's why I'm not up to date, and choosing favorites isn't easy, but mine were:

1. The Last Dinosaurs - Time&Place
2. The Neighborhood - Sweater Weather
3. Local Natives - Sun Hands
4. Yo La Tengo - I'll be around
5. Catastrophe & Cure - Quite Alright

What's the point? Indie is emo, folk, alternative, garage rock, black metal, you name it.

Tbh I haven't heard the others, but I'll give them a listen cos I know you've got a music taste judging by Sweater Weather.

Thanks, chris_mills. The others are a bit different compared to The NBHD though, but I hope you'll enjoy the songs.
Catastrophe & Cure is an Austrian Indie Band so the accent may be funny.

Maybe if you take it just to mean independently produced music but indie rock seems to be defined as clearly as say punk or metal. Obviously a lot of variety but generally understood as something in relatively the same bracket.

Top 5 for me is mostly 80s and 90s stuff, I don't like a lot of newer indie it's a little boring. No particular order, just some faves:


Add it Up- Violent Femmes

Talking **** about a Pretty Sunset- Modest Mouse

Nosferatu Man- Slint (the album is amazing but the rest of the songs don't sound as good on their own as this one does, they need each others' company)

When You Sleep- My Bloody Valentine

On Fire- Sebadoh

Xasthur (from southern california, lol) and Mallisa Nadler (indie-folk from DC) collaborated on an album back in 2010 called Portal of Sorrow. She sang background vocals.


I must be mentally gay because I just blew your mind.
