Yeah, thought indie music could go into a single thread, just to help each other discover new bands and music easier 
If theres already a thread for indie music, just delete this then (although i couldnt find one).
Also, let there be no arguing over what the term "indie" means. Lets just all accept that, yes, the term indie was first coined from independant, meaning to be on an independant label; however, as time has passed and language has evolved, "indie" can be labelled as a genre (ala MySpace having indie labelled as a genre as well as a label signification) aswell.
Some bands/artists and albums that i recommend:
The Format - Dog Problems (i would consider this album within top 5 of indie albums to date. simply fantastic)
Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
As Tall As Lions - Self Titled (been playing in my ipod for months now. <3333 dan nigro's voice)
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism (yes, i know they are signed with Atlantic, a major label)
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible as well as their White Session album.
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone (best album to come out in '07 so far, in my opinion)
Sufjan Stevens <-- self explantory. brilliant artist. brilliant.
The Decemberists
Of Montreal
Imogen Heap and Frou Frou (although i prefer Frou Frou <3)
Neutral Milk Hotel
Iron & Wine - In the Reins
Asobi Seksu - Citrus (fun indie music =])
Broken Social Scene - Bee Hives
Sigur Ros (everyone knows this post-rock band by now, but still worth the mention. love their hypnotic sounds)
Say Anything - their lyrics are fucken fantastic haha
Arctic Monkeys. although a little overrated, still good music.
Bloc Party <-- check Silent Alarm out before you head onto A Weekend in the City.
Bright Eyes
Damien Rice
We Are Scientists (i think theyre on a major label. still good indie music though)
anyway, yeah theres more than a few great artists and bands there.
what are some bands you recommend/ listen to?
always up for new music =D
