Best indie rock tribute album

I am a sucker for cvoers in general, and tribute albums specifically, and this is a tribute album of one of my top 10 albums of all time, by a bunch of artists I mostly like or love, so this is a winner for me. Favourites are Kurt Vile with Run Run Run, and Courtney Barnett with I'll Be Your Mirror (which is cool, beacuse I loved their collaborative album), and also Bobby Gillespie and Thurston Moore combining for Heroin. I wasn't too keen on the weird version of All Tomorrow's Parties by St. Vincent, but every other song is great. [First added to this chart: 10/24/2021]

Fantastic chart, yet again! I'll need to check out some more of the Aussie bands on your list, and I guess my chart skews more Canadian. Not sure what I could recommend that you haven't already heard, but you might like N0V3L for an arty post-punk minimalist sound, or Yoo Doo Right for more haunting droning instrumental tunes?

One of the coolest charts around, as always. There's already several gems from Down Under that I've not heard.
