SiriusXMU Top 500 Indie Songs of All Time: 400-351

There are a bunch of fantastic songs on this list. I voted for “anyone’s ghost”

It's hilarious that Pitchfork pretends to be woke, yet still unconditionally praises the band that wrote 'Cause I'm a Man'.

CHVRCHES, even though they're not an indie band.

This isn’t a pitchfork list

Of All Time!

about 5 or 6 of these are pretty good to great

CHVRCHES

kinda weak segment, tbh. these tower over the rest:

Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
Pavement - Shady Lane
Björk - Hyper-Ballad (Family Tree Version)
Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

sleater-kinney belongs up there too

Bjork

This is my favourite stretch so far: Velouria vs Sheela na Gig just over Hyperballad and Dirty Boots.

oh shit, glazed over The Concept, that'll get my vote

Velouria

That's probably going to get my vote as well.

Casimir Pulaski Day is the most powerful of these. i actually can't even listen to it.

the concept is a great song as well.

i'm wishing i voted for hyperballad now.

Brill Bruisers is such a weird choice of New Pornographers song.

"When My Boy Walks Down the Street" seems like a really weird choice too. Anyways I voted "Video Games" come at me.

Xp there are gonna be a lot more NP songs as the list goes on

i almost voted for Lana, that's probably the one that placed highest for me in its particular year. But I ended up going with S-K, that's one of their absolute best tunes.

The Concept

Xp there are gonna be a lot more NP songs as the list goes on

Semi-spoiler---the song most NP fans would assume to be the highest ranking didn't make the list.

"Rent I Pay" with "Ready for the Floor" being a very close second. Man have I soured on Teenage Fanclub, as saw them live about a year back and it was one of the worst shows I have ever seen.

The Bleeding Heart show isn’t on there?

it's not. also, no pre-Twin Cinema tracks? fuckin weird.

"casimir pulaski day" for me

how has "i will possess your heart" not been eternally condemned as the sexist shite that it is by now

PJ Harvey - Sheela-Na-Gig

I really really like Girls' Lust for Life

also wondering why Hyper-Ballad isn't several hundred places higher

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

All the great Belle and Sebastian songs out there and they went with “I Want the World to Stop”??

I hate lists like these. I have very polarizing reactions to indie music. When a few good songs are placed next to 10 Beach House, 15 Arcade Fire and 12 Tame Impala songs (for example) I have to burn the list.

and the YLT song they pick is the intentionally warmed-over cure cover

I don’t much care for it but isn’t this song written in character?

This selection is real depressing. “Oh!” is great fun though.

I love Sebadoh, but lmao at the thought of 'Ocean' being a better song than Lana's 'Video Games'. There's an ocean between the two.

it's not actually misogynistic, it's just in the persona of a misogynist, meant as commentary is a poor excuse that is seldom trotted out for anyone other than (white) rock artists

(black) rap artists use this "excuse" way more.

Never heard the Tame Impala song, but the lyrics seem more like self- loathing than amy hatred of women.

yeah agree

about the Tame Impala song

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Just for the record, I'm not woke, and no artist owes me any excuse for the content of their art.

When I become quick to judge and label people I don't know at all,I hope I have the courage to blow my brains out.

i'll go ahead and do that, thanks

video games

love video games

it's a great song. still one of my favs by ldr
