Its so silly to say that its just token or whatever.
As i think my post above proves (or tried to prove) you can do the same thing with most genres of music...
There are just some artists that have something that most people like.
Doesnt make it token. Or just for indie kids. Its just - like - a thing.

I am your target audience.... (what a tremendous name for an album...)
What does it matter if yr an indie kid or not.
I would have thought everyone knew genres are evil inventions, meant only to divide us and sell magazines...
and that the choice of music in the Nathan Barley sex scene is the single funniest thing in the world since Alan Partridge said "no way you big spastic - you're a mentalist"
as you were.

What have you heard?akirajoel said:
Doesn't matter, sounds like you are unsaveable. May as well proceed straight to Sting and Phil Collins.
Get all the Stooges albums (3), and get the bootleg album that has 'I Gotta Right' plus the best Kill City tracks (Johanna, Sell Your Love). Might as well get Idiot/Lust For Life albums too - essential in their own way.
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour, plus I absolutely love Shiftwork which came later, and is a perfect marriage between Fall quirkiness and sublime pop songwriting.
Can - have a crack at Tago Mago.
No Velvet Underground??

I might have to give that one a try, got into tago mago a while back but haven't really "got" other CAN albums I've tried. Just love the way tago mago starts with relativey normal 3 minute long songs then goes into 20 minute epics featuring the sound of an egg whisk and someone going aaaaaaaaaaaaawoooooooooooooooo

Indie doesn't really exist anymore - certainly not like it did in 1986, anyway, which was when the term was defined and became a byword for scuzzily-produced guitar shamblers, due to the prevailing trends of major label signings at that time specifically excluding those sorts of bands, necessitating them to find independent platforms for their music.
There aren't many truly independent labels left now, and being an indie kid in the 'traditional' mould these days would mean being into Arctic Monkeys at one end of the scale (although they are more of a welcome aberration in the current climate) and Tunng at the other, and...well, not very much else really. Most genuinely independently distributed music tends to be of the left-field techno/d'n'b/grime/glitch/etc. and electronica variety.
I will never understand the logic of industry wankers who see Coldplay and Athlete and the like as indie. If these bands are indie, who is the mainstream? Michael Bolton FFS? Coldplay and Athlete make U2 look indie as far as I'm concerned. And Kaiser Chiefs are not indie. Maximo Park are not indie. Hard-Fi are not indie. Blur and Radiohead are not, and never have been, indie.
The Legend was indie. The Smiths were indie. The Dave Howard Singers were indie. HMHB were indie.
