I never once uttered the words “sold out” in my comment – you totally missed my point. The point that I was making was that it’s a little incongruous to make a “top indie songs” list and then proceed to list nothing but bands that are on major labels. I couldn’t care less that Modest Mouse is on a major label; I still love them. But that wasn’t my point.

I knew someone would bring that crap up… way to misunderstand me.

I actually like the rock czar’s list a lot even though it doesn’t have many “true” indie bands. All of the bands listed were once indie but sold out at some point. I am sure that all of the “true” indie bands out right now would love to be in their positions. There’s nothing wrong with making a lot of money in my opinion. Even if they did all sell out, they still make great music. The Rock Czar’s other lists represent a different musical taste, one that we should appreciate. Although my favorite list out of all of these would be the virgin radio UK list solely because it has Oasis in the top 5. :-)

ps – im in love with FoTC – it’s a very recent obsession, but I can’t wait for a blog about them, if that’s what you’re hinting at!

@kara: the songs you were referring to were from Rolling Stone’s Top Songs of All Time – you have to click on the LuxuriaMusic link to get to the “in the mood” list

@everyone: I think VH1 countdowns are always good for lists like this – 1 Hit Wonders, etc

I put together a list of the top 10 driving albums of all time because picking individual songs can be a brutal task for any music junkie.

Suzanne, I agree about the Rock Czar list. I mean, seven or so songs by The Killers and no Pavement? Or Cat Power? Or Yo La Tengo? Or Stone Roses? Or anything released on Sub Pop? How are The Killers indie? Or Franz Ferdinand? Or any band that is on Epic or Island?

For what it’s worth, I think the lists are made from one person’s personal playlist. And apparently, that person doesn’t know what “indie” means.

LOVE to see that Jeff Buckley was on somebody’s list. In my opinion, more of a tragic loss than Kobain was…
