How about some good DJ's? DJ Q-Bert, DJ Shadow, and DJ Spooky. They ACTUALLY make music.

Racetrack.
The Thermals.

Police Teeth come dangerously close to indie pop on a few newer songs.

I will definitely second these bands...

-Guided by Voices ('Bee Thousand' or 'Under the Bushes Under the Stars)
-The Walkmen
-Spoon
-Swervedriver

And I will add...

-dinosaur Jr.
-Archers of Loaf
-Jawbreaker - (24 hour revenge therapy)
-Leatherface (Mush)
-Thrush Hermit (Clayton Park)
-Les Savy Fav
-Modest Mouse
-Danielson - (Ships)
-Clark the band

He's not a DJ, but 'MC Chris' is catchy in a really annoying sort of way...

Oh man, "Angela Starling" still gives me chills.

Seriously.

holy fucking crap! went to rehearse with my band and this thread is now 3 pages long!

(and almost one page is just silly flaming.. but well.)

thanks!

well... i´m a gbv freak, and i also love broken social scene, unrest, spoon, etc. now, slsk is open and i´m downloading starlight mints, teenage fanclub, grifters, autolux, and the walkmen.

djs, never heard of q-bert, dont like much dj shadow or spooky (but i like other electronica, like boards of canada or autechre for example)

you're "silly flaming".



check out the Ebb and Flow from San Francisco.


they're fantastic.

The Clean - They have an anthology on Merge...double disc...worth every penny.

Stereolab - I love all their early stuff...they get really "electronic lounge" later on.

Sloan - First like 3 or 4 records are amazing beatles meets MC5 power pop...also have been known to be an amazing live band. Canadian to boot.

The Sea and Cake, Yo La Tengo(when they feel like it), Galaxie 500, Big Star.....
