Suck it and See.....Your love is like a studded leather headlock
Your kiss it could put creases in the rain
You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock
And those other girls are just postmix lemonade
Wicked description.!! |

"Of the yanks I'd chose kings of Leon "
The early Kings of Leon albums were great but they completely sold out and turned into a boy band.
The Strokes sold out too with Julian making bloosy Christmas songs.
Sad times. |

The wedding present are great but The White Stripes are probably my favourite though.
Loved Blur and the Libertines, Babyshambles ain't bad.
I do like indie music as I find it is mostly bands playing for the fun of it rather than for commercial success. Apart from Oasis. I don't like them much, a couple of good songs but not really my cup of tea. |

Nirvana werent Indie they were grunge. To insist that Nirvana were indie is to suggest that Alice in Chains , Stone Temple Pilots etc were indie too. TOTALLY different genre altogether. |

"Nirvana werent Indie they were grunge. To insist that Nirvana were indie is to suggest that Alice in Chains , Stone Temple Pilots etc were indie too. TOTALLY different genre altogether."
indie refers to the record label that a band is signed to, it is short for independent as in being signed to an independent rather than a major label |

Yes very true
Suppose Indi could cover those all on independent labels - but yes different genre |

It doesn't really matter though does it. Indie covers a large variety of music. Grunge could be lumped in with indie quite easily. |

Indeed. It is all essentially under the big tree of rock music. Categorising music gets a bit difficult. |

It gets very confusing when you get into sub genres. |

It's an outdated and pointless term and has been for at least 20 years. But even in the 80's so many so called indie bands were on majors or had majors involved in the distribution. I used to hate the bullshit attitude that bands "sold out" by signing to majors.
I always preferred the American terms underground or alternative to Indie as it was more reflective of the mindset. Britpop killed itndie in my opinion. The Smiths were hated by main stream media, the government embraced Britpop a decade later.

The smiths have some awesome tracks, joy division akso awesome bit started out as a punk band and paved the way for what were now call indie. The stone roses are great too as are oasis, and the happy mondays. I could never choose just 1 they are all so different and just as good as each other, My favourite recent band is probabaly razorlight |

"Of the yanks I'd chose kings of Leon "
What about the killers?
Between arctic monkeys and the courteeners currently.
Oasis, blur and the libertines of course in previous times.
But then you're forgetting chilli peppers and elbow. Even Coldplay if you class them as indie. |

"So who was your favourite
The Smiths , Nervana , or someone else "
Nirvana are my fave band, have been since 89, but I wouldn't class them as indie? However, the stone roses for me are probably the best indie band, but there are loads that I like , the inspiral carpets, house of love, the mondays, Paris Angels, Ultra Vivid Scene, the pixies...great memories

I love the stone roses, and they did influence practically everyone who I previously said, but in all honesty I think they all become better just by taking what they did, then just putting their own little twist on it to improve it. |

too many to choose from
early rem
early smiths
charlatans
icicle works
Lloyd Cole and the commotions
artic monkeys
joy division
the seahorses
if stones roses hadn't gone off on one they had the potential to be the best. |
