'Indie rock' means virtually nothing.<br /> <br /> 10 next that maybe qualify better:<br /> Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted or Wowee Zowee or both.<br /> Swell - 41<br /> Cat Power - What Would the Communiuy Think<br /> Mazzy Star - Among My Swan<br /> My Bloody Valentine - Loveless<br /> Low - I Could Live in Hope (hardly 'rock' tbh, but uses rock instruments so maybe)<br /> Slint - Spiderland<br /> Sugar - Beaster<br /> The Fatima Mansions - Bertie's Brochure<br /> PJ Harvey - Dry<br /> <br /> Omitted records by Smog, Red House Painters or Will Oldham that generally don't qualify as 'rock' to these ears.<br /> <br /> tl;dr the best indie rock is generally not 'rock'. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=461180#461180 Norman Bates Sat, 7 Jan 2017 05:19:25 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=461180#461180 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=461101#461101 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=34789'>Komorebi-D</a><br /><br /> Posted: 01/06/2017 04:40<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Was wondering what was your 10.
