Neil Young and George Harrison in amongst that pile? It's like picking peanuts out of poo.

Heh, to each their own, no?

I'm one of those people that say "I like everything." While the title of this thread references Indie music, that doesn't mean that's all I listen to.

I've met many people during my lifetime that have said, "I love all kinds of music." Then I'll ask them who their favorite composer was, or bluegrass artist, or swing band, and they'll have no answers. But in truth, it's not just about Indie music for me.

Yes, I adore Neil Young and George Harrison. I also adore Animal Collective and Deerhunter. I'm also currently really into old timey fiddle music and Romanian gypsy music. My fiance and I also went to the symphony last year in New York and my jaw dropped with how amazing it was. Some days on the way to work, I turn on the classical music channel and feel a wash of warmth come over me. Other days, I put on my Knyfe Hyts album, which is literally repetitive guitar chords played against a background of rhythmic drumming.

Don't let the original list on this post fool you. There's more to music than those 28 bands. And if I could trade those 28 bands for the rest of the music out there, I would. I was just naming a few of my heavy rotation listens to see if anyone else was into that sort of thing.

But I might as well also as now if any of you guys like Bach, Ralph Stanley, Glen Campbell, or Lee Hazlewood...It's alllll good.

Hot Rize, Johnson Mountain Boys, Stanley Brothers, Ricky Skaggs form the past; Trampled by Turtles, Old Crow Medicine Show, right now are two of the best bands I know of.

+1 on the Josh Ritter. His latest album, So Runs The World Away, is one of the best overall albums I've heard in a long time and I was not much of a Ritter fan before hearing it.

@JeffoC6, I dig most of the bands on your list. A few that would be missing from my personal list: Son Volt, Grand Archives, Drive-By Truckers, Lucero, Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, MGMT, etc. I guess I could go on for hours.

Great initial list though. Sounds you are far from alone.

Count me as one who will puke if I have to listen to another Clearchannel 'Classic Rock' station belch out the same three Grand Funk Railroad or Fleetwood Mac songs over and over again.

"Girl in the war" brought tears to my eyes.

Right there with you! Dawes "a little bit of everything" is unreal good if you like those bands.

I can 1 up you. The light top 40 list "with the best of the 80's!" plays all freaking day at work.
GOD DAMN IT........

I don't know how "indie" they are or if they've been mention around the forum, but I likes me some Alestorm.

Russian Circles are awesome. Funny story...

My gal and I were in the grocery store a few weeks back and this guy behind us in line was wearing a Russian Circles shirt. My gal looked over and was like- "hey, sweet shirt." He immediately perked up and was so happy someone ELSE knew who they were hahaha. He started talking our ears off, but sadly, we had to take our groceries home.
