Fun Stuff > BAND
New to Indie!
AzMoo:
If you want something that's more accessible "pop" fans then give these bands a go. Some of them have already been said, but I figure it's never a problem to add extra support!

But I have more recommendations. They usually take a couple of listens to really get into, but I love it.
Architecture in Helsinki - They're an Australian Indie band. Their latest album, In Case We Die, is excellent if only because it's so much fun.
Deerhoof - I heard of them from the comic, so really, there's not much more to say. Grab Green Cosmos and enjoy.
Ladytron - Who can say no to a bit of Electroclash? Witching Hour, in my opinion is your classic electroclash, well on par with Chicks on Speed and Felix da Housecat.
OK Go - Their album, Oh No, has been on high rotation on my playlist lately. Especially the song, "The House Wins". Great listening.
Now to finish, I can't help but recommend moving towards some post-rock. A lot of people aren't cool with it, but if you ever just want to sit back and listen to something relaxing then this is the way to go.
Sigur Ros - Classic. I've heard it described as "Ambient Icelandic Wailing", which made me sad because I think they're genius. Their latest album, Takk, is decent but I'd recommend Agaetis Byrjun for a first listen.
Dirty Three - Instrumental outfit from Melbourne. Whatever you love you are is on my list of top albums of all time. Absolutely gorgeous.
Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks. The entire album is a story, combining ambient instrumental, spoken prose and mixed sound effects to really draw you into the album. Listen to it when you've got nothing else to do, because it needs your attention.
Rachel's - I've only just gotten hold of the album The Sea and The Bells. Once again, an instrumental album, but this one tells the story of, surprisingly enough, The Sea and the Bells. Absolutely beautiful.
OK, I'm done. Hope you like some of it!

Pick randomly. You're bound to like one.
Tabilus:
You just broke the internet. He said suggestions. NOT THE WHOLE INDIE SCENE.
Slowdive - Machine Gun
Sloan - If It Feels Good Do It
KharBevNor:
Ooh, I see we've started whipping the old indie-cocks out.
decklin:
I must chime on on Rilo Kiley. Paint's Peeling is a great song but in particular I think their most recent album is a fantastic and accessible pop record. It led to one of my friends demanding that I start recommending more music to her.
