Bands for getting into Indie?

(1/14) > >>

Silent:
Any suggestions? I browsed the forums for a while and got some ideas, but I really didnt see a topic like this. Im really interested in expanding my music collection, and I really am tired of the same manufactured sound in a different key. Ah the irony, I am listening to Staind as I write this  :-P

Sorry if this has already been done 100 times,
Silent

Vendetagainst:
You should check out the mediaf!re thread.

bands to search for:
pavement, wilco, flaming lips, sloan, owls, new pornographers, neutral milk hotel, meat puppets, liars, big black, architecture in helsinki, weatherkans, unicorns . . .

This has been done 100 times, but don't worry about it.

Tom:
Hüsker Dü  (try Zen Arcade first), My Bloody Valentine (their second album, Loveless is brilliant), Mission of Burma, Guided by Voices (Under the Bushes Under the Stars), Modest Mouse (The Lonesome Crowded West), the aforementioned Big Black, Pavement (start with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain) and Neutral Milk Hotel (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea).
 Also, Arcade Fire, Spoon, Okkervil River and Portishead.

Shit, did I mention Bedhead, listen to Bedhead (very slow indie rock), Pixies (anywhere is good) and Sleater-Kinney.

Oh, Polvo and Lungfish as well.

If you want to listen to Liars start with either last year's self-titled album or their first, They Threw Us in a Trench and Stuck a Monument On Top.

Be My Head:
I concur on Pavement, The Flaming Lips, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

You might also want to check out a little band called Sonic Youth.

However, I think you should start with Slanted & Enchanted for Pavement, and for the Flips, start with Transmissions From The Satellite Heart.
