Bands for getting into Indie?

<< < (6/14) > >>

Carabas:
They're classified more in the Post Rock direction, but Broken Social Scene is pretty awesome. One of the biggest things about indie as a whole is that it's a giant envelope, and people stuff all sorts of things in there. It may be possible to recommend some "staples" of the genre, but as with anything large, there will be certain sides of it some people like looking at more than others. If you tell us the sorts of sounds you currently like, it will be easier to give you starting artists that you enjoy, as you make your first steps on the path to hipster glasses and unwarranted pretentiousness.

himynameisjulien:
The Specials, nothing but awesome
Modest Mouse has already been said, but maybe start with The Moon and Antarctica. IMO, their best album.
Television (Marquee Moon)
Band of Horses (maybe start with Cease to Begin)(if that is even indie, I'm not entirely sure)
Mystery Jets
The Skatalites (ska, not indie, but awesome)
Minus the Bear (particularly the song Knights)
Silkworm

Chesire Cat:

Slint - Spiderland

*Fixed*

2HourHiatus:
If you want something that is a little weirder and more experimental, check out Animal Collective, start with the album Feels.
If you want something made of pure amazing rock goodness: Do You Like Rock Music? by British Sea Power.
Same goes for The Runners Four by Deerhoof. Seriously.
