Or the classics... floyd, hendrix etc

aussie bands like Jimmy Barnes... :mrgreen:

Ahh Hendrix....Along The Watchtower absolute classic!! :-) :-)

I aslo really enjoy TobyMac, David Crowder Band, and Third Day.

I could never just choose one. I must stay true to the style of my normal posts, TL;DR and including my life's history- this time of music. I'd say throughout my life time of most repeated album/ most listened to it would be Bright Eyes, but I haven't listened to them in a long time and never got that into the newer stuff. I do still listen to his other band Desaparecidos which is way more rock and all fast paced. But still indie\alt rock.

Modest Mouse, Vampire Weekend, mewithoutYou, The Killers, Kimya Dawson, Songs:Ohia, Freelance Whales, Discovery, The Postal Service, Built to Spill, and Paul Baribeau are my "most listened to" on iTunes. I like all kinds of music though, including rap old and new, even radio music. As far as weird rap goes: Die Antwoord and Das Racist. neither speak in German, just sayin. Die Antwoord is crazy South African rap with a guy and a girl, both amazing (English speaking) rappers with awesome accents. Das Racist is more like Lonely Island as so many of you seem to love. "White rap"- Quarters, Flobots, Asher Roth, and Eminem. Oh I do like lonely island too.

But I also love non indie bands. My middle name was named after Bob Dylan, my uncle is a Doobie Brother (last name McFee, same as mine) and I also grew up listening to grateful dead, pink Floyd (saw The Wall when I was a little kid!), Jimi Hendrix, the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Janis Joplin, the Pixies, the Cranberries, Oasis, Alanis Morrisette, etc etc. My dads been taking me to multiple concerts a year since I was 7 years old. Everything from (discluding previously mentioned bands) Nine Inch Nails to Miley Cyrus.

Old favorites would be Weezer, Blink182, Biggie Smalls, Aesop Rock, 50 cent and other radio rappers at that time, System of a Down (although I can no longer listen to them).. and techno/ gabber music when I was an ecstasy addict.

I also go to Philadelphia Folk Festival every year, so I love bluegrass and folk music.

The Killers! Emd Of!

Close but Jethro Tull beats them out.

Although Les Claypool's Frog Brigade did a killer cover of Animals and several JT songs.

Alter Bridge

Oh, and this is also not for the easily offended.

Currently it is Death Cab for Cutie.

Thank God at least one other person that enjoys indie music. I have every album on iTunes, thanks to torrents. My two favorites are The New Year and Champaigne from a Paper Cup. The newer more polished one, actually the older one is good too. (I like their older stuff and most of their newer stuff). Did you read my list? Do you like that kinda stuff or Sunny Day Real Estate, Iron & Wine, The Decemberists, etc...?

I second the praise for "indie music" (although it seems a bit ingenuous calling it that considering most of these bands are on labels) but I'm into a lt of those bands you mentioned. Brights Eyes/Conor Oberst is awesome, brings me back to a certain time in my life along with Elliot Smith, The Postal Service and Nick Drake.

These days I've been listening to a lot of The Beta Band, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and Justice.

I like music to dance to, to chill out to, and I'm into Motown (my husband is a big fan). My top 3 fav bands (if I had to pick) would be Sigur Ros, The Books, and The Beatles.



Also: I second that Das Racist is hilarious.

Anyone else on here collect vinyl?
