Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

I got to hear more of that stuff - all the stuff off there I have heard,is some of my favourite stuff ever...

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

Second half is disappointing...might be the work of one man only...

Jesus & Mary Chain? Triffids? Go-Betweens?

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

This is clearly limited to only UK releases.

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

Well of course - US aren't known for their 'indie' are they?

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

Well of course - US aren't known for their 'indie' are they?

Indie as a term has been pretty well appropriated into the US mainstream at this point (to the point where people refer to Neutral Milk Hotel, Animal Collective, etc. by that term). It's pretty much usurped alternative as a label, at least with the people I talk to.

But yeah, I know it started in the UK. Just reacting to the concern about Triffids & Go-Betweens being left off.

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

I Suppose there are a few bold moments mentioned. But to me there are still alot of missing links. ALSO! I dont car for the mixing of songs and albums together. Albums alone would be sufficiant.

Where's ARCADE FIRE'S FUNERAL. A Top 10 Mention in my book. Has done great things for the Canadian music scene and Independent around the world

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

And since Arcade Fire are Canadian, they were ineligible for this list, which is strictly British Isles. MOJO probably should have labeled it as such, to avoid confusion.

Re: Mojo- The Indie Top 50

My bad. I didnt look that close. Thus this list would make sense...lol...Thanks. There's a great 100 greatest indie albums in spin magazine with funeral as there #6. It's a descent list
