Indie? Is that what they call "alternative" nowadays? Cuz' Oasis are far from independent, same goes for The Killers. They're on major labels.

I have to go with 30 Seconds to Mars. Virgin US is still a pretty small label, as far as artists go.

The Smiths

Are we defining "Indie" as a sound, and not bands on actual independent labels?

haven't heard much good recently...cant say i'm into the fratellis or the view or dirty pretty things et al...they all sound rather bland

the last good indie album i bought would have been first impressions of earth....or broken boy soldiers (which is a stretch to say its indie anyway)

Eh..Arcade Fire remind me of a bad John Lennon tribute band, sans the incredible songwriting.

Bad John Lennon tribute bands usually lack incredible songwriting anyways.

I always thought John was a great songwriter.

Yeah, but the tribute bands lack the songwriting. Here have a cookie.

Not if they're tribute bands because presumably they'd sing...John Lennon songs.

Hence 'tribute' band. Get it?

Yes, yes, but they are not writing any songs. Hence the lack of great songwriting. That they play songs that had great songwriting is of no matter. The Band doesn't have any,

But you said, "bad John Lennon tribute bands usually lack incredible songwriting", which would mean that you are saying that John Lennon's songwriting is bad because he's the guy who wrote all the songs that the bad John Lennon tribute band sing.

The key word here is 'tribute', Bardock. It they are a 'tribute' band, then guess what? They're going to sing JOHN MOTHER-F*CKING LENNON SONGS, YOU STUPID SHIT-ANUS!

(Please don't take any offense with the whole 'shit-anus' thing, by the way.)

Yes, I realize that. So if they only play Lennon Songs, jsut how much songwriting ability does the Band have? Yes? Answer me. I demand it!
