the breath robbing lightning, was making diamonds of rain

A short list of my own

Bolstered by the fact that more than one person liked a band that I suggested, I've decided to make a list of some of my favorite indie rock songs. I know i've done this before, but that was while ago, and the list has changed drastically. When possible I'll the link to bandsites, and I'll add little descriptions to each song, to let you know if it's really for you or not. If you hear any of them, or question the "indieness" of any selection, let me know. Enjoy.

P.S. these songs are pretty much what i'm about.

Elbow - Any day now *Quietly Apocalyptic*

The Anniversary - Sweet marie *Pop with Teeth*

Ween - Ocean Man *Really weird and really catchy*

Badly Drawn Boy - Once around the block *Dour and irresistible britpop*

Phoenix - Everything is everything *Groovy and intelligent*

Super Furry Animals - It's not the end of the world? *expansive and beautifully crafted*

Sparklehorse - Piano fire *the greatest three minutes of music i have ever heard*

Creeper Lagoon - Wrecking ball *Loud and lovely*

Jets to Brazil - Chinatown *guitar rock with a brain*

Smoking Popes - Megan *An upbeat indiepop tale. Pay attention to the lyrics and you might catch yourself crying*

The Promise Ring - Size of your life *An indie gem*

Cornelius - Drop *The one electronic selection. A japanese booty shaker*
