Fun Stuff > BAND
Indie Rock = Fifties Music?
Inlander:
Don't worry, just do that bashful smile thing - they go mad for it!
EDIT: but I do like the idea of a tedious link: "God, are we talking about the influence of musique concrete on contemporary independent music again?"
Revenge_Therapist:
Some of the more pop based stuff I will tell you does have a lot in common with fifties rock and roll. However band like the Arcade Fire, or Mogwai have way more in common with say Genesis or King Crimson. It's only about a generation apart from oldies' rock and roll.

That sounds like what Sonic Youth did on SYR4. Lots of found sounds, and since I mention that kind of like a precursor to industrial.
@Revenge_Therapist: The Arcade Fire are the ones who made me think of the stuff Phil Spector did in the 60s. I'll have to check out the bands you mentioned to see.
Revenge_Therapist:
Yeah Phil Spector stuff is way too big bandish. He was of the opinion all bands sounded better with an ochestra behind them. The Prog rock generation was very studio savvy and made big sounds out of electronics and spacy guitars.
