80\'s indie love!
Husker Du - Zen Arcade or New Day Rising
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Replacements - Let It Be
Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II or Mirage
Throwing Muses - House Tornado (although they might not be indie - they sound indie though)
X - Los Angeles
This stuff tends to be punker and more crappily produced than some of the bands mentioned elsewhere.
Also, Guided by Voices, Uncle Tupelo, Mudhoney, Bikini Kill, Nic Cave and the Bad Seeds, Jawbox, Superchunk, Sebadoh, and the Fastbacks are all bands with indie roots who've done some good stuff and haven't been mentioned so far.
Am I the only one over 30 in this thread?
