The Cure, definitely.

The Smiths and the Shins at a stretch.

Awesome answer. Except aren't they synth pop/new wave?

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.

Belle & Sebastian, Blur/Gorillaz, Vampire Weekend...

The Frank and Walters, The Lightning Seeds, The Wedding Present.

Jangly guitar pop music.

The Killers

I wouldn't say The Cure or The Smiths

Artists that are not signed to a mainstream label or stuff thats way out there man.

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.
