theacademy 02.22.11	cursive rules tho
AggravatedYeti 02.22.11	lol YEAH OK RABBIT SURE.
Foxhound 02.22.11	fr33convict. sure did. just dl a bunch of protest the hero lol
couldwinarabbit 02.22.11	To be honest I have no idea why people make these lists. Going on RYM charts showing the top 100 indie albums, while not perfect, is a far more simple and much more efficent. Then once you have a good understanding you just go search Downer or Yeti's ratings.
Foxhound 02.22.11	i don't understand why you would ask that question
Foxhound 02.22.11	just help a nigga out with some indie. i'm very anti mods/charts/forums
fr33convict 02.22.11	"sure did. just dl a bunch of protest the hero lol" oops wrong link
DinoX 02.22.11	Brand New The National Weezer (first two albums) Mewithoutyou
AggravatedYeti 02.22.11	a big list of rec's is never a bad thing.
Foxhound 02.22.11	i am not a leech. i just wanted to associate today but oh dear you all have made me sad again. fuck you people see u's in a few weeks
TheJackal 02.22.11	rec lists are awesome
Zanders 02.22.11	We can give you some recommendations based on your listed albums, but it's best to list which sub-genre you would like the most since indie is way too broad and is an umbrella term used for a bunch of genres now.
Foxhound 02.22.11	i'm a little drunk and i am sorry
musicConsumer 02.22.11	Skip The National except for maybe one or two songs
TheJackal 02.22.11	''Skip The National except for maybe one or two songs'' BLASPHEMY
SowingSeason 02.22.11	nothing wrong with rec lists and foxhound is my boy so back off, bitches
Foxhound 02.22.11	lol thanks Season.
theacademy 02.22.11	the reason why these lists are good is because sometimes you could give half a fuck about what the top 100 indie albums are but you want recs from one of the maybe 7-10 sputnik users who u trust
DinoX 02.22.11	''Skip The National except for maybe one or two songs'' BLASPHEMY [2]
Yotimi 02.22.11	Some that don't get mentioned as much as they should: Menomena - Friend and Foe The Unicorns - Who Will Cut our Hair When We're Gone?

iFghtffyrdmns 02.23.11	this was said only once before, so I'm gonna say it another ten times cause it deserves your listen. TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR TITUS ANDRONICUS - THE MONITOR and pick up The Airing of Grievances as well, that one's almost just as good. Also, Manchester Orchestra was rec'd a bunch of times....if you like Brand New, you'll love MO cause Jesse and Andy Hull are like bff's
CrownOfMagnets 02.23.11	@aggravatedYeti, well their albums are rated pretty high but the fact that Yankee Hotel was nowhere on the most recent decade list is a travesty.
theacademy 02.23.11	menomena friend foe fucking fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk
AggravatedYeti 02.23.11	I agree Crown. Though Wilco is generally considered pretty high quality amongst the peeps of Sputnik. and yeah Acad's got it right with Menomena. As far as modern indie, can't do much better.
Foxhound 02.23.11	Got it alllll. or most. Thank you very much everyone and I hope to end this list with a childish joke about the comment number =o anyways thanks for all the recs, they won't go to waste. Love Foxhound =)
