    Yeah, big fan of Radio Head, Modest Mouse, Strokes, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol etc...

    but I wouldn't call them indie anymore. They've long sold out and gone mainstream. They're still great, they just lost their indie edge.

    Yeah Arcade Fire is getting pretty popular

    I like the Shins, but they could get a little too mainstream since their Wincing debuted at #2... Sufjan is probably my favorite indie artist right now though

    I'm into Indie Rock but as previously mentioned, a lot of the bands that used to be indie have become popular and gone mainstream.

    Well the indie... electro is pretty underground (but that's not rock) like Hot Chip, Mount Sims, Ladytron, Dangerous Muse

    electro can be alright sometimes, but it's a whole different scene than the indie rock scene
    btw, my indie music blog is for sale here at dp right now

    Oh that's cool! I have an indie rock blog too :p http://www.indiekool.com

    But yeah, I agree: not all electro is the best, I find that if there's a fusion of electro and rock, its awesome! :D
