Indie Rock = Fifties Music?

Except, uh, except not by Weezer.
Seriously. I even like the talkbox solo and I don't like that part of the song.
Although in the video he looks like he believes every damn word he says.
God damn you, Rivers. I don't know what to think.
Phil Spector's wall-of-sound stuff is awesome, though, and try and tell me that a lot of indie bands haven't tried to achieve that (and sometimes succeeded).
Willis:
Yeah, that song has grown on me. Not so much that I like it. But so I diss it less. On the Weezer topic, does liking Weezer ruin my Weezer cred as I'm not part of the group that thinks "Weezer and Pinkerton are some of the best albums ever and the other two are shite?
Anyway, I don't know where I stand on the Phil Spector issue, aside that he's a raving lunatic! The whole wall-of-sound definitely hits you like a...wall...of...sound. But after hearing Let it Be....Naked, and specificaly, The Long and Winding Road, it seems that the wall added too much. I liked the stripped down version of that song.
But yes, we need more indie-rockers to do the whole talking during the bridge thing. You thought there were enough retro-garage bands out there? Wait till ya hear retro-garage-do-wop! Ha! Take that genre enthusiasts!

Johnny C:
TV On The Radio or something needs to do the doo-wop thing, NOW.
And I hope there's no such thing as Weezer cred. Frankly, I loved Maladroit, although I still think that Pinkerton was a triumph.
Finally, I wasn't that impressed by Let It Be... Naked, with the exception of the title track. "The Long And Winding Road" kind of lost something, for me.
Revenge_Therapist:
If you listen to the demo version of Staring at the Sun, they already have.
Johnny C:
I haven't, but you made my day, congratulations.
