shudder said:I second the recommendation for Gang Gang Dance's album. It's super solid.

90% of the suggestions in this topic that I've heard top the WHITE STRIPES. I mean people are talking Kid A, seriously.Buick6 said:Still, no-one has come forth with anything to top the WHITE STRIPES
Clearly.shudder said:what, kid A??? Clearly a laaaaame copy of the White Stripes!
confucius said:yeah! great! let's rehash the same old Blues-Rock formula for the 7,000th time! with the same swagger, the same bravado, but now let's do it like we kinda mean it, kinda don't!
tom pr said:also I dunno about 'key', but Fiery Furnaces Blueberry Boat and GYBE's Lift Yr Skinny Fists both probably fall under indie, and are both fantastic records.

I never know whether I think Andrew Bird's Noble Beast is really good or kinda bad. Ditto with Fleet Foxes self-titled. Need to listen to more Television to decide how interesting Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's debut was, but that was a really important release in the early oughts that got weirdly forgotten, the record has a good personality.
Fiery Furnaces - seconded.
Gallowsbird Bark, Blueberry Boat and the latest one, Bitter Tea, are all great.
I saw them in London in Aug 2004 and it was like a fucked up laughing gas carnival. But something's happened in the last 18 months - I saw them at KCLSU on Tuesday and was disappointed that they've ditched the synthesizers and gone more metal. Much more metal. Left before they finished. Oddly, the latest LP is full of synths. Maybe they couldn't find enough mains outlets.
Never mind though, the LPs are great.
