    I completely agree with everything this dice man says. Devendra Banhart's new album is also incredible (also not out yet but still findable).

    I just saw Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and they are incredible.

    This is the best bunch of top five lists I've seen in a long time. I was going to make some suggestions but there's no point, plenty of stuff here that you must buy already. Couple of things that I need to get too.
    Fatima Mansions- Viva Dead Ponies

    Is this still in print? I've never seen any of their CDs around town.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer

    Excellent band. Their version of Wild Horses is brilliant.

    They are almost imposable to get in Ireland
    I got mine from this site
    www.gemm.com


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭ANarcho-Munk


    Okay here goes

    Dag Nasty -Field Day
    Husker Du - New day rising
    Government Issue - complete history volume
    Fugazi - the argument
    Dinosaur Jr. -where you been or else maybe You're Living All Over Me

    they all have a punk sort of leaning to them tho....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee

    Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
    Led Zeppelin - IV
    LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem

    Husker Du - New day rising
    Tomohawk wrote:
    Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

    And also Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets 2 and Meat Puppets - Up on the Sun


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 127 ✭✭curtains


    You may know/have many of these but if not I seriously recommend checking them out:

    John Frusciante - Curtains (beautiful acousitc album, recorded on a 4 track in his living room)
    The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium (psychadelicpostpunkspanishprogsalsarockwithwierdtimesignatures)
    Radiohead - Kid A (Radiohead but wierder, way more synths)
    PJ Harvey - Is this Desire? (very indie album, lo-fi recoridng, interesting sounds)
    At the drive-in - In/Casino/Out (It's atdi, prog-punk left of field thing)
    Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (brilliant songwriting)
    Joy Division - Closer (for those who like to be challenged by their music)

    Yeah I loves me some Fugazi, check out Rites of Spring if you haven't heard of them, they sound kind of similiar to Fugazi and it Guy Piciotio used to be in them.

    And while we're at it you should check out

    Q and not U - no kill no beep beep


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 763 ✭✭✭goo

    Joy Division - Closer (for those who like to be challenged by their music but not actually)

    Q and not U is a great recommendation, they're a band most people can just enjoy listening to without getting into, but I'd recommend "Different Damage" instead of "No Kill No Beep Beep".

    On the same note, for upbeat, normal guitar bands with a bit of an edge, or who are just really clever that is, people should look at Bear Vs. Shark's album (bit of an edge) and Minus the Bear's album (just really clever) "Highly Refined Pirates".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 114 ✭✭COCK


    Here is a list of ten, not just five, superb "indie" (a loose term to say the least) albums of all time (My list)

    10. Television - Marquee Moon
    9. The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
    8. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
    7. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea
    6. Elliott Smith - Either/or
    5. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (Closer is as good, so get both)
    4. The Pixies - Doolittle (not so much indie anymore but still super)
    3. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
    2. John Lennon - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
    1. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico

    This doesnt include new stuff, the oldest is from 1998, so special shoutout to three super naughty-era indie albums

    The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
    Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
    Iron and Wine - The Creek drank the cradle


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 the dice man


    i thought this thread was for suggesting five new indie albums not throwing up the same boring lists of great albums that everybody already has


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 763 ✭✭✭goo


    It's not really his fault if he hasn't read the rest of the thread...

    [edit]

    The Glow, pt.2 is an astonishing album, too, so I'm biased towards him, although Iron and Wine are so meh it hurts my feelings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭melatonin


    Granddaddy. Sumday

    that album isn't great, The Sophtware Slump is far far better

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 348 ✭✭Fuhrio

    Elliot Smith - Either / Or
    Divine Comedy - The Divine Comedy Regeneration

    ^ ^ Precisely. One of my favourite albums of this year was Circulatory System's self titled (they share member(s) with Apples in Stereo) - that came out in 2001, but it didn't matter to me.

    Also, I'd say anyone who likes Neutral Milk Hotel didn't feel like it was an old album, no matter how much later they got into them. In my case, it was seven or so years after their last album was released, and it was the most new and immediate music I'd heard in maybe my whole life.

    The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Ruskie4Rent

    YEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

    Brilliant band and their best album of three. Saw them support the Pixies in the National Stadium, October 1990. They opened with Two Sick Sisters from the Half Life Remembered EP.

    no

    Viva Dead Ponies was the best album of 1990.
    Blues For Ceausescu 12" is amazing. Reminds me of Italia 90

    No problem getting it at the time, nowadays it's second hand shops or online.

    Autechre - Untilted

    I've tried very hard to like this album but I don't think I'll be buying anymore Autechre albums. They're past their prime. It's more like a poor band paying tribute to Autechre.

    Although nowhere near their peak (Tri Repetae, LP5, EP7 pts 1 and 2), I found Untitled to be far more enjoyable than Confeld or Draft 7.30


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    I thought Untilted was a further drop in quality. They seem to be just going through the motions now.
