I don’t listen to indie music so I dunno if this is legit, I just thought it was kinda fun.

One of the coolest drummer friends i had, who was punk as all hell used to say he thought the best musician ever was Sara Bareilles (you know her 1 hit, trust me) and was unironically excited to have saved up to see her play.
I still argue its Paul Simon. That afterlife song is still one of the most punk things i have ever heard.
The great thing about music is its about finding someone giving their emotions so strongly it turns into something beautiful that others can empathize with to not feel as alone in our feelings. Its all good as long as someone can connect with it.
I recognize every album from the third entry but none from the second
That neutral milk hotel album is a bit of an indie meme at this point tbh, especially if you collect vinyl it’s basically in everyone’s collection.
*No More Kings
Bro, how dare you put snail mail as more popular than ok computer!
Radio head is like THE indie band everyone knows. I’d put it above tame Impala on this list.
Radio head is like THE indie band everyone knows.
Yeah, but everybody only knows “Creep.” (Source: I only know “Creep”.)
Not even no surprise?
Just listening to it now. Never heard it before.
Or “15 Step” from In Rainbows? That entire album was amazing
Just listening to that one now, never heard it before either. Wait, is this a trick to get me to listen to the entire Radiohead catalog?!?
I let all other Radiohead songs play, but I immediately skip creep.
Wait, cage the elephant is considered indie and obscure? They were the intro to borderlands lol, that’s where I heard of them
My att fifty plus year old mom bought their album before I even played borderlands. But she’s also cool AF.
I’m old enough that my baby shit is now revered as works of absolute genius by the millennial amateur music historians.
We’re all dust in the wind, but if you aren’t a stuck up cunt, you get to have a cool soundtrack you enjoy.
oof the fantano line stings but its true
But how about instrumentals??
100 gecs is cool, but idk most of the other shit (Carly Rae Jepsen does have some great tunes, though I know not all). Guess I skipped ahead
Emotion is the best pop album in the last 10 years and it’s not even close.
not even close? how about Imaginal Disk? Brat?
I’m pretty sure Brat has too much club energy but I’m very excited to check out that Imaginal Disk.
I’m just a sucker for synth pop saccharine crush romance.
yeah, Brat is club dance pop. Magdalena Bay seems closer to your taste but it’s also hugely psychedelic. but i cannot recommend enough their both LPs and mini-mixes. and i also have a feeling you might love Chairlift and solo albums of Caroline Polachek. so you wouldn’t at least think “it’s not even close” anymore :)
Don’t think I’ve heard it in full. Supernatural (Danny L Harle) is what brought her back to my attention, all the way from Call Me Maybe (not sure if I’ve heard anything else from her between those)
From the moment I heard Supernatural, I was hooked. I kinda love this sound that feels like pure pop, perfect pop. Needless to say, PC Music had me
Give it a shot! I’m only making bold claims for engagement. The album is really good though. It’s less dancey than the one you linked, different vibe but you might like it.
Wdym machine girl is obscure why is it on the before last tier
Machine Girl should definitely go next to Death Grips
you telling me I’m going to enjoy music again one day? I’m not even mad
got my first indi album in 1997(?) when my parents sent me into a radio station to pick up tickets we had won on one of those call in radio contests. while I was in the lobby some Internet walked out with two CDs in her hands. she told me to pick one. and then she handed me that one and walked off.
It ended up being Pavement, brighten the corners. for a kid in highschool it ended up being pretty life changing.
some Internet walked out
I know it’s meant to say “intern”, but the mental image of the biblically accurate incarnation of the Internet randomly handing you one of two CDs like a red pill/blue pill offer is hilarious.
that may well have been what happened
Not bad. Can top though. I was maybe 6 or 7 and had some birthday money. May have been Kmart or target but my grandparents took me there to spend it on whatever. Being that age I ended up picking out School House Rocks Rocks. Ween, Daniel Johnston, Pavement (who do an amazing cover of No Kings btw), Skeelo, Biz Markie, etc all doing covers of the songs I loved to watch and hear at my babysitter
Needless to say, it took many years for me to actually recognize that the artists I enjoy most were actually there with me at the very start of my personal music journey.
Still have the CD. Even found a cassette copy some years back.
I don’t know what happened, but your message seems to have a lot of extra empty lines, and it’s spanning tens of screens on my client… I’m curious, was this intentional? I have no idea how that’d happen accidentally, but it’d be pretty funny
Yeah, that is hella weird. I did edit for punctuation. Using jerboa.
Here’s an edit.
And another. Same issue?
finding ween at any point is life changing
Then there’s me: buying up 45s and cassettes, putting them up on !recordpics@piefed.social.
