How about Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights maybe? Great album and it's a pretty accessible. I could be wrong... [/ QUOTE ] Seems like a very reasonable inclusion |

Re: Official Indie Starter Kit Thread (Calling all hipsters... sorry e
I've just been getting into all this recently, and there's plenty of albums you guys mention that I've yet to listen to.
That said, Turn on the Bright Lights has gotta be in there. As does Illinois and Kill the Moonlight. For the Radiohead album, I'd include The Bends before OK Computer for newbies. Will |

Elliott Smith [/ QUOTE ] I think you need at least one of Sufjan/Elliot/Iron and Wine, but probably not more than one. Any sort of consensus on this? Illinois was on my preliminary list, but I really really love either/or. |

Illinois was on my preliminary list, but I really really love either/or. [/ QUOTE ] All 3 of those bands/artists IMO. Sufjan is pretty different to the other two due to his production and instrumentation. I guess if you had to choose between Elliot and Iron and Wine, go w/ Elliot - he was the progenitor of much of this genre as it is. Edit: and the poor bastard's dead by self-inflicted knife in the heart. +10 points |
