Artuma 09.03.14	2 and 7 are easily the best for a newcomer nirvana and mbv??
iambandersnatch 09.03.14	nirvana is indie? hmm
deathschool 09.03.14	None of these bands are indie and I hate you.
TheBarber 09.03.14	the indie "feel" guyz
NorthernSkylark 09.03.14	"not very indie for beginners"
JSJC 09.03.14	I like my bloody valentine,radiohead,nirvana,smiths and weezer. I don't like pixies.
dimsim3478 09.03.14	The National, I reckon.
ArsMoriendi 09.03.14	1 and 6, and 9 aren't even indie. Agreed on 2, 3, and 5 though.
SharkTooth 09.03.14	how is 1 beginner's indie? it's more of beginner's metal or beginner's punk if anything
Kosko 09.03.14	While this is more of a beginner's alternative at this point, I can see the argument for it from the perspective of the 90s. They all started off as an indie bands tapping into the zeitgeist of the culture around them. It's more of a history of indie, than modern indie. There's also connections to the future, the bassist of Sunny Day Realestate joined the Foo Fighters after Nirvana's dissolution. As terrible as it is, Mumford and Sons will probably be cited as major players in the folk revival scene, regardless if the Decemberists had been pounding the glockenspiel before Mumford had even picked up a banjo.
AmericanFlagAsh 09.03.14	2, 4, 7, and 10 I would say are the only "indie" And some Radiohead
greencorn5 09.03.14	1. Built to Spill 2. Modest Mouse 3. Pixies 4. Smiths 5. Death Cab 6. The Shins 7. Spoon 8. The National 9. Portugal. The Man 10. Minus the Bear - All pretty much indie, and all pretty easy listens.
AmericanFlagAsh 09.03.14	Agreed with Green. Except I've never listened to 10 and needs Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel
NorthernSkylark 09.03.14	list needs antlers, arcade fire, arctic monkeys, beach house, bon iver etc.
LepreCon 09.03.14	Could certainly pave the way for indie listeners though few of these are definitively indie in and of themselves
Hovse 09.03.14	Sonic Youth is not for beginners at all they may have the indie feel but i consider them more of experimental/noise rock band, like a modern version of velvet underground tbh
WatchItExplode 09.03.14	90's does not equal indie
scottpilgrim10 09.03.14	Weezer isn't indie, but it's nice that they are included I would have added a garage rock band like the White Stripes or the Black Keys
Yotimi 09.03.14	This is Roy's world, they're indie if he says so
Xar 09.03.14	4, 7, 8, 10 are indie. everything else is alt rock.
NorthernSkylark 09.03.14	mbv indie!?
Xar 09.03.14	uhhh yeah... how is it not? shoegaze is a subgenre of indie.
NorthernSkylark 09.03.14	always thought shoegaze was a genre in its own right
Xar 09.03.14	well...yeah it is, but it obviously stems from alt and indie (particularly dream pop and noise rock). and like when I was getting into indie rock years ago, loveless was always in the top 5 choices.
NorthernSkylark 09.03.14	well, i would never think to include it, but i would certainly include for example beach house, so i guess it is all indie in a way.
Soaringmuse 09.27.14	I can almost see everyone on that list as indie. But Radiohead???????? EDIT: ok fine Pixies are "indie" I guess.
Royl123 09.27.14	In my world they're indie...
Parabellum9837 09.27.14	2 and 5 aren't indie rock at all
deathschool 09.27.14	Fuck. Why'd I post here?
dimsim3478 09.27.14	Hard to draw the line between indie and alternative, but I'm gonna say that 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10 are usually labelled as "indie".
