That's stange, Galaxie 500's On Fire is categorized as Dream Pop while Today is Indie Pop... that's too bad, I like On Fire better.
Time to listen to the Go Betweens then I guess !

I'll give it about a week so anybody interested can listen to all of the records they haven't yet, if anybody has specific suggestions for when this should start I'm open to suggestions.

This list is about as indie-pop as Winston Churchill. It's a fucking joke.

Please report back with an alternative list pronto. That is all.

Yeah, I second this list not being very indie pop. It's mainly because, for whatever reason, RYM thinks that chamber pop is a subgenre of indie pop. And that's why stuff like The Colour of Spring appears here. For a more accurate list, uncheck the checkbox "+ subgenres" and then you should get nothing but indie pop.

EDIT: Also include twee pop

I think next genre elimination we should pick a genre that's easier to define than "indie pop" like punk or prog rock or something
