The Official Indie/Alternative thread.

[Le Samourai]

BTW post all Indie pop/ rock etc.

Also feel free to classify Brit Pop/Rock as Indie.

as well as arthouse.

I'll get started with the easy stuff

[Le Samourai]

[Twoism]

Nobody knows these guys which is a shame

[Le Samourai]

Not as Underrated as this guy . He is indie-tronic tho.Not as poetic as Wild beasts but the lyrics are REAL.







*bleep* this guy is underrated.

[Le Samourai]

Arcade Fire or Coldplay?

Interpol or Franz Ferdinand?

Her Space Holiday vs Owl City ?

[Le Samourai]

Pretty Big Band but still not rated as higly as they should be IMO.

Arcade Fire or Coldplay?

Interpol or Franz Ferdinand?

Her Space Holiday vs Owl City ?

Any but Owl City, he's god damn annoying.

[Twoism]

for electronic artists, these brothers are like god for others, it's documentary program

[Le Samourai]

What's you opinion on Her Space Holiday?

[Twoism]

Haven't listened to all of his albums but he seems to experiment a lots. What I like about his music (from little that I listen anyways), his music is from the heart and sincere no matter how simple or crazy it is. I like it a lots in the musicians, like tune-yard or destroyer. Too bad, looks like he stop Her Space Holiday project.

Yup.....I can't say I'm suprised at his decision tho. The lack of recognition he's gotten is remarkable...even compared to jnon mainstream guys.

The Young Machines and Mancic Expressive where he was at his peak were two brilliant albums.....I think they were a bit before their time given the sucess inferior material like those generated by the Owl City brothergood has garnered.

I'm not actually sure what classifies as Indie, so be easy on me XD I'm pretty sure I would recognize the sound, but the exact definition I don't know. It seems like a real broad type of music but! Here is my contribution.

[matpol]

The Strokes > all indie bands.

[fb123]

The Strokes

[BiasedMilanFan3]

THE STROKES!!!!

fav band of all time
I think my iTunes play count is something like this

Hard to Explain - The Strokes - 1500+ plays
Someday - The Strokes - 1300+ plays
Reptilia - The Strokes - 800+ plays

So yeah... I like that band

[McLewis]

Anyone listen to their new album "Angles"?

been hearing good things about it, though I didn't like the "Machu Picchu" track that's on FIFA 12.

[Le Samourai]

If I'm being honest I actually don't like them as much as others.I have 5 songs....I love i'll try anything once but not really high on the others.

@MClews Haven't got a chance to listen to the entire album yet but the two singles "Under the cover of Darkness " and "Taken for a fool" are quite nice.


Guys lets be honest Arcade Fire> The strokes

[Le Samourai]

If you like the strokes you'll love Arctic monkeys









Hopefully you guys can understand the lyrics.

[BiasedMilanFan3]

Arcade Fire are a great band
"Rebellion" is such an amazing song but "In the back seat" has to be my favourite of Arcade Fire's song.
fuuuuaaarrrrrkkkk. I love how the song just escalates up and up. The female singer did a really nice job in that song.

I used to love The Arctic Monkeys but I just feel they've changed a bit too much. Songs like Brianstorm and Fluorescent Adolescent is stuff I still like from them but after they're third album I just gave up on them

I'll give a list of my favourite bands and their songs

The Strokes - Hard to explain, Someday, 12:51, You only live once, Is this it?, Reptilia, I can't win, Taken for a fool, Modern girls and old fashioned men (a B-side song of theirs, performed with Regina Spektor, really good song)
Jamie T - Sticks n stones, The mans machine, Sheila, Spider's web, Operation, Pacemaker, Ike and tina, Alicia quays, Calm down dearest
The Libertines - Vertigo, Can't stand me now, What a waster, Music when the lights go out, What katie did, What became of the likely lads, Time for heroes
Anya Marina - Whatever you like, Move you, Waters of march, Cowboy, High on the ceiling
LCD Soundsystem - All my friends, Daft punk is playing at my house, Tribulations, Someone great, New york I love you but you're bringing me down
Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Cheated Hearts, Maps, Y-control, Gold lion, Zero, Runaway, Little shadow

All my friends by LCD Soundsystem was, in my opinion, the best song from 2000-2010 but Hard to explain by The Strokes is my favorite song of all time
