I used to question my taste in my music, since it was always changing. I used to go through phases of listening to a band, killing it, and then moving on. But now, after examining my music library, I've gotta say...I love Indie Rock. And I'm expressing my feelings here. Here are some of my favorite bands.

Arctic Monkeys
Beulah
The Bravery
Death Cab for Cutie
Foo Fighters
Franz Ferdinand
Green Day
Interpol
Kaiser Chiefs
Keane
The Killers
Marcy Playground
Muse
Oasis
The Raconteurs
Rooney
The Strokes
Weezer
The White Stripes


If you like indie-rock, alternative, or punk rock, I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND the above listed bands.

they are actually pop punk, but their album, Warning, has a folksy/indie feel to it. so, for that album, the info is correct

Yeah, maybe that album. But the group isn't indie or alternative. The same with FF.

Franz Ferdinand and Foo Fighters are both alternative/indie. And as for Green Day, their way older stuff, like Kerplunk, 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, and Nimrod is all very indie like. It's when American Idiot came out...thats what changed their image.

i cant speak for Kerplunk and 1039 Smooth, But Dookie was punkish, as was Nimrod. Insomniac definatly was. it's really just Warning thats the most Indie. and some of Idiot was indie too. like Whatshername, and Novacaine.

and i think Foo Fighters would be classed as Alt Metal
