Not to UKers for whom Oasis is an indie band.

yeah, this draws the line between UK and american "indie" very clearly. in all my talk about the genre's values and aesthetics upthread, i really should have mentioned radiohead. their OK computer through amnesiac arc had a huge impact on the development of american indie, imo.

what is rock?
If soul is the ring around your bathtub, rock is the skidmarks in your tighty-whities.
If I were to take my heavy rock list and remove the ones strongly associated with subgenres like stoner, doom, psych, occult, prog, hardcore, etc., I would end up with this:
Graveyard - Hisingen BluesCherry Choke – A Night In The Arms Of Venus...Highway Child - Highway ChildRadio Moscow - The Great Escape of Leslie MagnafuzzRival Sons - Pressure & TimeMelvins - Sugar Daddy LiveThe Heavy EyesLonely Kamel - Dust DevilThe Flying Eyes - Done So WrongSandrider - SandriderAcross Tundras - SageJeff The Brotherhood - We Are The ChampionsShooting Guns - Born To Deal In Magic: 1952-1976Suplecs - Mad Oak RedouxBoris - Heavy RocksGideon Smith & The Dixie Damned - 30 WeightBorracho - Splitting SkyGordon Fights - Gordon FightsThe Grand Astoria - OmnipresenceThalamus - SubterfugeRed Fang - Murder The MountainsGentleman's Pistols – At Her Majesty's PleasureDixie Witch - Let It RollBlack Spiders - Sons Of The NorthTotimoshi - AvengerJeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus - BloomThe Quill - Full CircleMotörhead - The Wörld Is YoursThe Company Corvette - End Of The SummersThree Seasons - Life's RoadGrifter - GrifterKamchatka - Bury Your RootsFirebird - Double Diamond
Possibly I'd add White Denim - D, as it pretty much transcends indie/psych/garage rock. ILM's failure to recognize its awesomeness is one of its many great failings lately.

I like that White Denim album fwiw.

the flying eyes, i know those guys! i didn't realize anyone outside baltimore was familiar with them.
― pfunkbo bryson (some dude), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I shd probably check out White Denim
― Today is Cocaine's Birthday! (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
If some dude and fnb can agree on some band, I NEED to check them out. :D
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
but seriously it is silly as fuck when people say "oh that band isn't [large umbrella genre] because they're really [subgenre that is totally and unambiguously within that umbrella]"
― pfunkbo bryson (some dude), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
Listening to Flying Eyes right now (on youtube sadly). Not too bad! Guy sings a little bit like Ian Astbury at his most druggy/American.

OMG, this!

tbf the last time i saw flying eyes was like 4 years ago when they were either fresh out of high school or still in HS, but they were good then, have been meaning to check out their recent stuff
― pfunkbo bryson (some dude), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
I love the cover of that Flying Eyes record.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
Only their first album is on Spotify, but I'm kind of liking it.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
I wouldn't do that. I have a heavy rock list that includes all those subgenres. It was just an interesting exercise to exclude the others to see what I ended up with. Flying Eyes flirt with garage rock and stoner, going between slowly lurching rhythms and guitar freakouts. They seem like they'd be a great live show.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
Just chiming in to say White Denim are indeed fantastic.
― Sounds Of The Baskervilles (dog latin), Friday, 3 February 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
Although Peaking Lights do nothing for me, despite descriptions sounding exactly like my thing. Was very excited about the dub influence, but that bass sounds like someone boring holes into a piece of mdf, and there's no funk or spaceyness that I can hear. Too bad...

I don't mean to divert away from the poll discussion, so I reposted here: Smiths to reform without Morrissey

Wasn't even intentional, kind of a classic decade-old discussion though! I'll continue on other thread but will say that I would not have known about Flying Eyes were it not for their Bandcamp page. Be good if they offered an inexpensive download too.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 3 February 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
kind of surprised at the lack of pains of being pure at heart, thought that was received relatively well. i'd have voted for it

Someone On the ballots thread made a good point about Mara Carlyle not turning up. Thought this would have been quite popular among certain ilxors. No love round these parts?

I have never heard of Mara Carlyle. Who is she?

destroyer was my #1 as well. Took me a while to get into it, but it is an album worth investing some time in.also I love his voice and lyrics, on this and on previous albums.― silverfish, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:05 (2 days ago) Bookmark

I know this makes me a terrible person for saying this, and I'm willing to be cast out into the great wilderness of butthurt for saying so, but could we not let this obvious sock sinisterly robotic lurker vote in this next time round plz?

Sorry, that sounded a bit cranky, but it's a pain in the arse to spend days following this thing and then see the top two positions possibly decided by a one-dimensional poster who has seemingly never posted outside this thread.

No accusation intended at J0rdan or seandalai btw.

I'm assuming that their number one vote for Destroyer was basically cover for their number two vote mentioned in their first ever post:
discovering stuff like Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats is what makes lurking at this place worthwhile. My #2.― silverfish, Thursday, 2 February 2012 19:41 (2 days ago) Bookmark

well why would it be a sock? and cant a mod tell if its a sock anyway? by comparing ip addys? I cant see Destroyer fans signing up just to vote (or fans of any band)plus even if you took out his/her ballot wouldn't destroyer still have won by 4 points?
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 4 February 2012 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
would depend on what else they voted for i guess
― Phibes Kartel (NickB), Saturday, 4 February 2012 13:34 (twelve years ago) link
you should be used to lurkers posting in polls by now. At least they signed up to post.
