I'm a Cuckoo and Piazza New York Catcher- Belle & Sebastian
Driftwood & Flowers in the Window- Travis (okay maybe they're not indie but still they're awesome songs)
Take me Out - Franz Ferdinand
Mrs Robinson - Simon and Garfunkle
The Great Escape - We are Scientists
Hoppipolla - Sigur Rós
Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
Some of these are either like 30 years old or aren't technically indie but my god they're still good. -

There are some really good ones, but really, out of all of their songs? really? oh well 5 points of the spelling being right
''Inni mér syngur vitleysingur'' I love that song.. aha but I clearly had to go into my itunes and copy & paste -

Someone needs to learn the meaning of ''Indie''! The Kaiserchiefs kinda aren't, and lay off the Stone Roses! They're ace!
Although I do agree with you on The Smiths front...
Mine are:
The Rumble Strips - Girls and Boys in love
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
The Maccabees - Toothpaste Kisses
The Stone Roses - This is the one/Waterfall
Jose Gonzalez - Crosses
i was bigin' up the stone roses and the smiths as the only true good indie bands everrr . ,,,,,,, -

Facepalm at the belief that "alternative" = indie.
Animal Collective - My Girls
Atlas Sound/Panda Bear - Walkabout
Belle and Sebastian - Lord Anthony
Bon Iver - Creature Fear
Deerhunter - Agoraphobia
Deerhunter - Never Stops
Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
Fleet Foxes - Your Protector
Fruit Bats - Traveler's Song
Panda Bear - Ponytail
Panda Bear - Take Pills
The Shins - Saint Simon
The Shins - New Slang
Really this is just a broad selection of good tracks. Hard to define the "best" when so many albums (especially those of Fleet Foxes/Panda Bear/The Shins) run together so well.Last edited by Undulipodium; 29-07-2009 at 08:14. -

..p*ss off and don't post in the thread if you don't like the subject matter.
The Killers - Mr Brightside
MGMT - Time To Pretend
The Strokes - Reptilia
Just, you named a top indie songs of all time post and named 3 of the worst indie songs going - all mainstream crap stuff - and your username is of a band who possess no musical talent. I don't care whether you like this stuff or not as i have friends who like some of the stuff but it's just the way you have worded the thread and as you have no musical knowledge then why the hell post a thread about it? -
