The act’s first EP released in 1999 is a mere five songs but teased the potential of this brainy indie-rock band, which blends emo and rock masterfully. It’s certainly been a summer to remember – which is kind of a weird thing to say considering we’ve spent it sitting at home doing literally nothing. Point is, don't vote on a list you don't know aboutImagineDragons has rose to fame and rightly so, their music easily connects to everyone listening. There songs are so relatable on a personal level. Why isn't Built to spill on this list? Or maybe my favorite after Sixpence None The Richer. Pixies are a major influence to so many of the really famous bands everybody knows, yet their contribution is shamefully unseen.

In the interview, Julian Casablancas talked about how bands are portrayed through false articles on the internet and in magazines, and how all the bull ruins their image. Listen to both of 'em!Not the most original band, (I thought "Mountain at my Gates" was an Imagine Dragons song) but absolutely great nonetheless.I can't understand, at least they deserve a higher place on this list. Then it built fast. An Awesome Wave is my favourite album of the last decade if not all time, if you haven't listened to it you haven't lived...Muse WERE Indie, but they became commercial (too mainstream) after Black Holes and Revelations.

They don't release album after album of tired, boring and forced material. The band consists of Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday, and Kevin Baird. Of all the many genres in music, indie may be the most crowded. Now, I'm not saying Radiohead is bad by the way. Band of Horses’ first album is a doozie, injecting indie-rock with a little twang and some truly anthemic singles like “Funeral.” College radio-friendly while offering flickers of Americana, it’s a feel-good album from start to finish. All Time Top 50 Indie Songs In 2016 we asked our listeners, DJs, staff and assorted friends of the station to let us know what their favourite indie songs are. I know radiohead were kinda like indie rock in some album I'm just kidding. Go Killers, go!The Killers are my favorite band ever. My dream is to be at a concert of them. Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, independently in July 2007. I can't actually believe that Blur or The script is even on this list. I've been a fan for more than 5 years now and they can surprise me, while they are also true to what they believe in and play the music they want to, not paying the music they are told to play.

Many touted Bright Eyes’ frontman Conor Oberst as the Dylan of the indie generation and for good reason. Our selection of the best indie pop artists of 2019 thus far! A fun indie band that somehow mix classical and world influences and make it work! Upon the Tame Impala is the psychedelic recording project of Kevin Parker, from Perth, Australia, and signed to Modular Recordings. I've just always never been sure when it comes to including these guys on a best indie rock list.Pumped Up kicks is one of the only songs on my phone that I never get sick of, it fits how ever I'm feeling so is perfect for having on constant replay for days! How they are able to create such interesting music is beyond me. While the entire discography is worth a spin, this 2004 record is the highwater mark.Immortalized by Natalie Portman and Garden State in 2004, The Shins was well on its way to indie stardom already. Also the bass riffs are so catchy and the drums compliment the rest perfectly. The track dropped in February of 2014, but took a little while to build some steam. 1; way better than all those listed above (and I am a fan of some too), especially better than Arctic Monkeys, and just... Yeah. I mean it's so much more than Florence Welch, the band itself (the Machine) is some of the finest music I've heard from the 21st Century. Quit saying they aren't Indie until you've listened to their WHOLE albums. We don’t boss you around; we’re simply here to bring authenticity and understanding to all that enriches our lives as men on a daily basis. 1/15 15. You feel so grown up in so many ways (...)“Who is Bonny Bear” is a question that plagued the internet for weeks after Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) took home the 2012 Grammy for Best New Artist, beating out Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, and (...)Unless you live under a rock (Haha get it? These guys are truly the definition of alternative and are unfortunately underrated. My favorite song is "What the Water Gave Me" but I also really like "Shake it Out", "Seven Devils", and their covers of "You've Got the Love" and "Addicted to Love". We have seen many challenge for their crown but no one has come close to the musical perfection created by The Smiths.Best band ever (Besides The Beatles and Queen). Your early 20s are a weird time. The fact that they are above practically all these bands just shows it really is a bit of a popularity contest in the end!This band os so great that it should be on every top ten list even if it has nothing to do about it lol.

My all time favourite. They are awesome and they broke up because of a fight? Honestly. by: UPROXX Music Twitter June 25, 2020. After the release of their first album, the members of their live band, Matthew Asti, James I would say this is one of the most underrated bands out there. Rather predictably, we found the list dominated by just a few bands - Stone Roses, Pulp, Radiohead, Strokes, Arctic Monkeys etc. I love all their albums, every one of them has something magical and catchy, plus the lyrics you can dive in.
