I wanted to compose a list of ten-twelve must-listen "indie rock" bands for someone that doesn't know much about music.They asked specifically for this genre (which cracks me up, but I'm not saying anything to them). I want mid 80s/90s stuff. Who would you put on?
So far, I have.. 1. SY 2. Pavement 3. Dinosaur Jr. 4. Archers Of Loaf 5. Built to Spill 6. Pixies 7. Husker Du 8. Replacements

Damn, I forgot about them. Thanks.
For GBV, should I just go with something off Bee Thousand? They put out more albums than I can frakking count.

Yo La Tengo for sure.
Also, Archers of Loaf seems a bit obscure to be on an indie rock top 12 or whatever. maybe it's just me. |

Classification is pretty nebulous, but I wouldn't call most of those above "indie rock"
Throwing Muses and Weezer - Major label product Spacemen3 - Space rock MBV - Shoegaze Stereolab - Pop-Electronica Mudhoney - Grunge Jesus Lizard - ??? Fugazi and Unwound - Too punky Beat Happening - Too cutesy Decemberists - Are you kidding? (Plus, too recent) etc |
