[grimokingofleon]

i dont understand why when bands go mainstream. people dislike them a little and find it taboo. the only reason alternitive bands become mainstream is because they hve a lot of alternitive fans. not because mainstream fans like them. nobody likes pitbull and also arctic monkeys.

[shuffleguy1000]

its sad how interpol wasnt even mentioned:( thts my favorite band ..along with the strokes

[shuffleguy1000]

wtf! how are the strokes #6!

[tomorrowneverknows94]

[HiWeAreRandom]

[JvMec1]

Can somebody give me a list of the songs?

Thank you!

[geraldminzey]

Who should have made a list of the bands and their songs. So that other people could find them on here, so that you would have to go back through the video. Over and over to try and find all the bands individually. Great band and song choices though.

[aliboyia]

[insainemusic1]

amazing bands, really good music taste (: anyone herad of the mystery jets- they would be my number 1 :)

[broitswes]

Indie is going nowhere it's a phase, in like 3 years noone will care about these bands.

[CnJClips]

@broitswes sorry, but does anyone who actually likes indie give a damn if its popular?? i happen to love indie because its the best sound out there, not because its in "a phase" of being popular. and also, why bother coming on a video called "My Top 10 Indie Bands" just to slag off the best type of music around? something tells me you need to grow up and find something to do with your life.

[yoheily26]

What About Two Door Cinema Club ? :)

[TaraAteYourInterwebz]

The artic monkeys are indie? But... They get played on radio?

/shot. 

[kefindifidofo]

Modest Mouse



[FoxintheBox23110]

@kefindifidofo How could someone honestly leave them out?

[danielkay1994]

1. Radiohead 2. Arcade Fire 3. The Strokes 4. Foals 5. The Maccabees 6. The Libertines 7. The Naked & Famous 8. The Horrors 9. The Smiths 10. Darwin Deez Bands like The Fratellis, The Kooks, The Wombats, The Pigeon Detectives and Arctic Monkeys wouldn't make my top 100, way too mainstream for my liking. Their not real indie bands, their a breed of poor pop and indie hybrids determined on destroying peoples perceptions of real indie music such as bands like I stated. However, each to their own.

[threeflip2244]

@danielkay1994 okay your top 3 bands you listed are all fairly mainstream as well hahaha

[danielkay1994]

@threeflip2244 Funnily enough, my list would be entirely different now. But Radiohead? Popular? Yes. Mainstream? No.

[threeflip2244]

@danielkay1994 same here.. my top favorites are always changing. theres so many great bands that don't get noticed and far too many overrated bands.

[mcmc101010]

@danielkay1994

Behold! An indie poser(: Someone who pretends to be "exclusive" to indie music only cuz other stuff is mainstream, and "no one tells them what to listen to" HA. Look at you, cutting out bands and songs for one reason or another! You follow some indie rule book like a bible XD

[danielkay1994]

@mcmc101010 Weird how you think that you know somebody that you have, and never will meet. No, I don't like mainstream music, though I do follow a number of popular bands such as Foo Fighters, Bloc Party, etc, but i do not think indie is the only non-mainstream genre, its just my genre & style of choice. As for being an indie poser, I wear denim jackets, skinny jeans and such, so what? Doesn't make me a poser. I don't think im the second coming because i listen to less-popular music.

[iluffmusicXO]

@danielkay1994 Btw writing dockk off paragraphss doesn't make you smarrrrrrrrrrrrt :D

[danielkay1994]

@iluffmusicXO no it doesn't, but i quite obviously wasn't trying to be smart, i was just emphasising my point, you rude fuck.

[MrCoreymillbags]

@danielkay1994 Fair enough mate. Some good choices though :)

[MrCoreymillbags]

@danielkay1994 What about The Drums? Or Death Cab For Cutie?

[danielkay1994]

@MrCoreymillbags Death Cab are alright, but The Drums don't really do it for me.

[ethanizabunny]

@danielkay1994 well i decide what i like by listening to it not by how fucking mainstream it is i honestly dont care how popular they are if i like them, i like them.

[Frainps]

@danielkay1994 What the fuck are you talking about, just because a band is popular doesn't lessen the quality of music, your a fucking idiot

[miowlam]

what vampire weekend song is that

[iknowhuh5]
