I was going to post something like this the other day...but I obviously didn't.

Built to Spill (my favorite band ever)
Arcade Fire
Elbow
Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses
Avett Brothers
Josh Ritter
Dispatch

Thanks for posting that link! Nevery heard of Built to Spill, but I dig em... You'd probably like pinback (if you don't already)
http://youtu.be/59cQWw9ctOA

But seriously check out Avi Buffalo~ http://youtu.be/evu_MqAZpC0 - My fav line " you are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon" haha~ of course it has to do with food!

I love Pinback. Built to Spill is a lot like Modest Mouse sometimes, but I think they are a lot more listenable. I also need to add Badly Drawn Boy, Lucero, Alexi Murdoch, Damien Rice, Broken Bells, Portugal the Man...

Haha my bf likes Lucero a lot so we got to see them at the Troubadour (sp?) which was cool since I'd never been there. They were playing with Drag the River (the beau's uber fav) Def. a fan of Broken Bells and Noah and the whale (that someone posted earlier). Yay so many fun bands to check out! See if this tickles your fancy http://youtu.be/fnTacC1qUmE.

Has anyone heard of The Shivers? I just found them last night and I AM IN LOVEEEE.
Also, you all should check out:

www.voiceproject.org

It is a website that a bunch of awesome artists/bands do covers of songs by other awesome artists/bands i.e. Brett Dennen covering Citizen Cope, Deer Tick covering The Shivers, etc.

It's actually where I found out about The Shivers. Super great!

Also my favourites;


Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, Modest Mouse, Silversun Pickups and Yo La Tengo ^_^

Yo La Tengo! Haven't listened to them in a while! Saw them at the 40 Watt years back right when Electro-Pura came out. Butterglory was another favorite along that same time period....saw them at the Atomic Club at Athens.

Bump.

My favorite is 100 Monkeys, they are very unique and crazy on stage when they do shows. Bleeding Horse Express, is another awesome band, from Canada. Not a Planet, is a local Kansas city band, I love them!

I really just love music! It don't matter who they are or how popular they are. Yesterday, at my local mall, some high school punks where walking around with a guitar saying, "play ya a song for a $1!" So after I see others rolling their eyes at them like "As if, Whatever...phift" I stepped up and gave them a dollar and listened, It was great fun, He played pretty well even :-)

YOu definitely are my people! I saw Superchunk three times...they put on a great show! I was also lucky enough to be in Athens during the Elephant 6 days and saw Neutral Milk, Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, and Apples in Stereo at the 40 Watt a few times. A NMH/OTC concert was a spectacle to behold!!!

Oh how I loved Bright Eyes, back in the day...and Dashboard Confessional. Those 2 bands take me back to a verrrry special place in time. Speaking of, I need to download some of that so I can go back there anytime I am feeling nostalgic...

Great list, and I second the workout playlist request. Every time I see a workout playlist thread on here it's always full of metal responses, or stuff I really am not interested in. I had an excellent indie workout playlist a few years ago, but in between then and now my iTunes got wiped and I lost all my playlists. Ugh.

reneepugh

Magnetic fields, Ariel pink, Kurt vile, Beach house, atlas sound, deer hunter, animal collective, absolutely love neutral milk hotel, pinback surprised me (love the band hate the name :-)), and many more I can't think of right now...

StrawberrySt

Oooh my favorite thread EVER!

My list in no particular order....

Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, Death Cab For Cutie, Neutral Milk Hotel, St Vincent, My Brightest Diamond, Belle & Sebastian, Beirut, Fiest, Lissie, Roisin Murphy, She & Him, Tegan and Sara, Tired Pony, The XX,

Aussie/New Zealand awesome bands

Angus & Julia Stone, Goyte, Ladyhawke, Washington, Lior, Microwave Jenny, The Temper Trap, Matt Corby, The Boat People, Sia

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have seen 80% of these bands play live and they are just amazeballs!

Feel free to add me I need more awesome friends!

I never know what qualifies as indie or not, but here are some not-pop, rap, or rock-music bands & singers that I like:


Regina Spektor

Neutral Milk Hotel

Gotye (Does this count? I don't care.)

Of Monsters & Men

Radiohead

Tom Waits

Interpol

The Kills

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

cannonsky

Young the Giant

Snow Patrol

Death Cab for Cutie

The Black Keys

Phoenix

Interpol

Radiohead

Spoon

The Decemberists

Deftones

Dashboard Confessional (Judge me if you will)

The list goes on and then drifts into random places (class rock, punk, hip hop, etc) ... but that's the indie/broody/ folksie side of it

cannonsky

Also Jimmy Eat World... but going into hipster mode .... only their first two albums.... and mostly just the song "Ten"

not sure that counts as indie.. I just wanted to share

_trickpie

Gotye (Does this count? I don't care.)

Gotye's a weird one to class. I consider him indie. Though his first single from his latest album is destroying the charts worldwide, right? SO WEIRD. And great!
