[gurududa]

The Decemberists? The Shins? Modest Mouse?

[ogemus]

The Strokes Cold War Kids Spoon Yeah Yeah Yeah Weezer The White Stripes The Killers The Fratellis The Bravery Placebo Blur Muse

[Major961]

Neil Peart for Number ONE!

[TheIndiesongwriter]

If you like Arcade Fire and Neutral Milk hotel check out my channel. I'm an unsigned indie pop artist working on a concept album that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world.

[markloda]

I don't know what compelled you to make this, but thank you. Because of this video I now have at least 15 new songs on my ipod that I can't stop listening to. :D

[ckwjb]

The Strokes?? They begin it all man, they should be on any list.

[DivinityOfDoom]

@ckwjb The strokes is actually a garage rock revival failure, Pixies and Sonic Youth started it all kiddo. The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, The Shins, Arctic Monkeys, The Bravery and all that other BULLSHIT that came out in early 2000's is third wave indie hipster fuckwad crap.

'

[JustABSide]

@DivinityOfDoom Failure? They got bigger than the pixies and Sonic Youth combined, I'd consider that pretty successful brother. The Shins, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, are all such different bands...You're putting multiple genres aside based on nothing. Fuck off.

[DivinityOfDoom]

@JustABSide Hipster.

[MusicXisXii]

@DivinityOfDoom Hater.

[JustABSide]

@DivinityOfDoom Label me whatever you want man, you're ignorant - with ANY label.

[beatsteves]

@ckwjb men the strokes didn't start the indie scene go listen to the smiths,the stone roses , the charlatans,blue monday and happy mondays ;)

[rnrdemon]

@beatsteves

right, that's the old british indie. the kids don't understand that or just don't think historical.

"indie" today hasn't got much to do with the former indie music. it's hip, actually so popular that the term indie sounds quite ironic if you see how pushed and supportet those artists are.

anyway, still good bands out there and a few on this list that i'm listening to once in a while, and i'm from the 80s/90s indie era.

[beatsteves]

@rnrdemon yeah right you got all the reason mate

[swedishpunk84]

@ckwjb i love the strokes but there hardly indie anymore, why aren't velvet underground on here if were stretching back in time. and this is subjective to the dude who made this its "his" pics of songs hes recommending

[rojo5327067]

@ckwjb DUDE! there is no way anyone can not like the strokes!!! they are the best band EVER! no doubt about it!!!

[thehombreman]

I LOVE Wombats but yeah wheres bloc party? Or MUSE just saying

[ValleyKidd16]

Where's Tegan & Sara? Two Door Cinema Club? Matt & Kim?

[jedidaddy911]

Where is passion pit and two door cinema club?? P.s vampire weekend is the best band ever!

[DecoyCruz]

kinda wondering...WHERE THE FUCK BLOC PARTY IS?!?!..

[Parkerandharris]

why did you put all the live versions of the songs on this? and where are the shins and death cab for cutie and modest mouse? good video though. i like people trying to get other people to explore music more.

[hippymrmel]

no MAGIC NUMBERS - FOREVER LOST is a classic :)

[Katiccia]

[kojurama11]

I had no idea that indie bands had the originality of deathcore bands.

[Jerki69]

Is Kasabian Indie?

[NeonTiger9]

how did you manage to pick the shittiest modern leper clip ever.....? the original song sounds SO much better. Not to be a hater, I actually liked this. But you're missing Bright Eyes...

[BlitzedCrystal]

No bloc party....

[LessThanJayson]

You forgot Best Coast. Just sayin'.

[palspalao]
