The Dead 60's = Major label
The Libertines = Indie label

Do you see now why I would call those bands "pseudo-indie NME tripe?" Almost all are signed to a major label or a subsidiary of a major label, almost all are written about by the NME, and almost all are bad.
i would love to hear what bands YOU listen to.....

Why don't you read what I wrote above, then? Here, I'll make it easy for you, my top five bands...

1. Spoon
2. Les Savy Fav
3. Belle & Sebastian
4. The Rapture
5. Broken Social Scene

I'm also a very large fan of Rufus Wainwright, but he's not a band, so I couldn't put him on.
