Introduction to Indie

[Zombeels]

This being a "Classic Rock" Forum, not everyone is familiar with many or all the great Indie bands of the 90's and today. I thought this would be a good place to post links to songs or videos of great Indie music.

For starters here are some great Flaming Lips songs even though the videos are not the best.


She Don't Use Jelly
Turn It On
Waitin' For A Superman
Race For The Prize
The W.A.N.D.

Built To Spill - Car

Jack Drag - We Could've Been Big
Imperial Teen - You're One

Shins - New Slang

Hey Zombeels! This is great! I love indie bands and am familiar with many of the bands but it's quite nice to discover others I haven't heard of.

More please!!!
