I classify indie as anything that doesn't get regular airplay on ClearChannel™.

| Bobo Adobo | If there played on MTV or VH1 there not indie, you have to be on a Viacom, or any one of the other big corps like AOL time-warner, owned record company to even get alot of radio play. | ||

"Beck - Yes, Beck is indie." He's on Geffen. No, Beck isn't indie. |

What about Sebadoh? I suspect I'll catch some grief for this one, but the early stuff is awesome. And Jason Loewenstein is pretty damn indie; he wrote all the songs, played all the instruments, and even did the engineer work. |

Really, indie doesn't refer to the label so much as the music. If the music has a different vibe than what's commercially viable, that makes it indie in my heart. That's why I would classify the Pixies as indie, or even the White Stripes. Keeping that in mind, I would like to present this short list of good indie bands. Short List of Good Indie Bands ----------------------------------------- Pixies - Natch. Pavement - You can say many things about Pavement. They can't play, Steve can't sing, etc. But boring?! Sonic Youth - Pretentious, but good. Ween - You say novelty, I say genius. Modest Mouse - I originally HATED this band, but decided to give 'em another go. And silly me, they rock quite hard. Yo La Tengo - Dreamy... Interpol - Best album of 2002. Beck - Yes, Beck is indie. Liz Phair - Well, Exile in Guyville anyway... Fugazi - Despite the fact that it kind of started emo, wonderful. |

FAKE BRAIN!  These guys stopped in Minneapolis on tour while I was working sound at a club. They've done all their own recording with their own equipment (no rented studio time), and they even have a comic. And they got paid 25 bucks for the show I saw, which just about covered parking and gas. |

| Bobo Adobo | I was mocking the intelect of a person who listens to only "indie" music. | ||

| Bobo Adobo | My music is soooooo indie and underground you would NEVER hear unless you were Indie like me and not a conformist like everyone else no one will understand me because im so indie and I WEAR THICK GLASSES! | ||

Yeah, exactly. Thats the type of comment someone that has heard 30 seconds of Pavement would say. You have to actually listen to their albums 3 or 4 times before they fully reveal themselves, it's not disposable music you listen to once and throw away. |

Why don't you just call them a "rock" band? What makes them so "Indie"? The clothes they wear? Last time I checked The Pixies were on the Warner Brothers label, very Independant label.  Edit - And yes, 4AD is a part of Warner Borthers |

I could never really understand the appeal of Pavement. I like Malkmus' other stuff better, but even that isn't so great. I hate the "indie rock" genre name because it's way too broad. There's a million subgenres that are all really different. Le Tigre isn't Neutral Milk Hotel isn't The Postal Service isn't Belle and Sebastian isn't The Faint :/ (yes I know they're all mainstream as far as indie rock goes, shut up obscurists) |

You suck. Pavement is probably the best indie rock band ever, except for Pixies. Wowee Zowee and Brighten the Corners are amazing, and all other Pavement is really good.
