80's-90's indie rock icon
 

For you, Who does really personify indie rock ?

I disrespect the word indie.
But I'd go with unwound for the 90s
80s is obvious.

Fugazi for the 90's.

pointless thread.

Kurt Cobain, Beck, and Billy Corgan are not indie. But I would go with Kurt, just because if it wasn't for him mentioning Sonic Youth I would not have found out better music.

Thurston all the way.

I think I would go with Mike Watt since he's collaborated with everyone under the sun. And he's awesome.

Bah I'd certainly go for Guy Picciotto but in this case : Steve Albini.

Thurston Moore: The King of Indie Rock.

I picked Beck. He's the most recognizable person besides Kurt Cobain, and I'm not going to pick teh Kurdt for this sort of thing.

Steve Albini. He's work hard enough to gain the name

Malkmus

Beck if you're referring to the loose term indie. But others mentioned in the list for other things not mentioned in the list.

Ian Mackaye. Who is absent from the poll.

on the list, BECK

David Grubbs.

J. It seems to me that in every interview and anything about him they call him 'the founder of the indie rock scene'

I LOVE pointless threads.
Serioulsy, I think we haven't enough "General" threads where the new boarders could take part. when i joined the board, there were threads like "what's your favourite SY song ?" or other stuffs like that. That's why I started this one.

I tried to be as "various" as possible. And you know, you can only have 10 choices...
But you can also choose an other one.

Bob fucking Pollard. I will not rest until GBV get the appreciation they deserve.

a mix of kevin sheilds, thurston and the whole early pavment brigade (gary young), also add a bit of dave baker and a smidgen of kurts attitude and sense of humour.

why is billy no mates corgan in there???????

yes!

Apart from the four members of SY:

Tom Verlaine
Robert Smith
Johnny Marr
Markus and Mika Acher from The Notwist

None of them.

Why no Morrissey? No David Gedge? No Elizabeth Fraser? No Andrew Eldritch?

You can also mention those guys if you want. You know, with this fucking poll, you can only have 10 options.
