    The Cure, definitely.

    The Smiths and the Shins at a stretch.

    Indie Pop is like so 'main-stream' man.

    Probably stuff like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon etc. I only have two categories of music.
    (a) Good
    (b) Bad

    The Feelies, The Go-Betweens, The Verlaines, The Wedding Present, Yo La Tengo's less abbrassive moments and The DB's.

    c86 and Flying Nun bands in general...

    Man this is like a rorschach test or some musical themed word association game.

    The Pastels?That sort of stuff c86/k/sarah records from that sort of time is what I associate with indie pop. Contemporarily, Pains of Being Pure At Heart.
