    seriously had no idea half of those were indie rock.

    what's it mean to be inndie rock?

    edit: also, never heard of the band the Arcade Sets Fire, are they related to the Arcade Fire or is a diff name for the same band?

    You may wanna start asking around for emo, because that's what a lot of those bands are classified as, far as I know. Try Muse, if you havent already.

    The Killers are awesome, and you said that, so I can't really think of any others.

    Charlatans are good. The Stone Roses are too. How about Oasis and Blur?

    Except for the Killers, those are all probably indie. :)

    Nice List, Noname. :) I heart Arcade Fire, they're awesome. But I wouldn't consider a few of those Rock. Like Sigur Rós and M83. But the both of them still kick arse. And I agree with Cid on The Killers, I don't think they belong there, imho.

    But, I'm not sure on the whole Indie label. I've always thought it meant the bands that don't get much attention from a lot of the public's eyes, I mean the bands have a large number of fans, but are hardly seen on the television or played on the radio. But I'll give some kind of stab at some of the bands I've heard being called Indie.

    The Fiery Furnaces
    Metric
    Wolf Parade
    The Unicorns
    Blonde Redhead
    Controller.Controller

    Ehh, I'm still not so sure on this. So I hope nobody jumps down my throat or anything. :P

    My two cents:
    Dolour
    Tennis Pro
    The Pale
    The New Pornographers (my favorite song right now is Loose Translation)
    United State of Electronica (you can dl the whole album for free, click on the U.S.E. Album link)
    There was a man,
    Selling chicks in a box.
    He said, "2 for 1, but 3 for 2."
    I said, "That's not bad,
    Here's money for you."
