So now that indie rock is basically over

who was the best band?

going with pic related

...

Archers Of Loaf by far.

I would say them or the Pixies

pixies arent indie rock. they're college/alt rock.

indierock is archers of loaf/pavement/superchunk/built to spill/ polvo and later - les es savy fav/deerhunter/deerhoof/dismemberment plan

Interpol, Slint, or Sonic Youth

The Smiths

indie or indiepop. not indierock

Perfect From Now On was the height of indie rock music, try prove me wrong.

Modest Mouse, Wilco, Death Cab (unironically)
All considered basic but will be looked back on as classics.

Are Yo La Tengo indie-rock?

>Slint
>SY
>indie

It was fucking Pavement.
They are the sole definition of indie rock.

their albums are bangers too

That's not indie rock though. They were signed to Warner Bros. when they released it

wilco and death cab are not fucking indie rock, jesus fucking christ.

>Are Yo La Tengo indie-rock?

yes

>It was fucking Pavement.
>They are the sole definition of indie rock.

Archers Of Loaf are still better.

archers of loaf are who you listen to when you need to take a break from Built to Spill, Pavement, Supechunk, etc.

Grimes

Yeah they definitely are

came here to post this

Indie Rock isn't based off of whether you're signed to a major label or not
