SiriusXMU Top 500 Indie Songs of All Time: 300-251

291. The Dandy Warhols - We Used to Be Friends

not voting for this, but pointing out that the veronica mars revive is gonna use a new theme song. can't tell if that's sacrilege or if the song just aged *that* poorly

much more to pick from here, faves: spit on a stranger, in undertow, piazza, y control, lisztomania, photobooth, fire it up

Daaaang, I'm old. Don't know most of these.

That said: 'Lisztomania' or 'Gouge Away'

these are the good 'uns imo.

251. Yo La Tengo - Cherry Chapstick
254. Alvvays - In Undertow
255. Vampire Weekend - Cousins
256. TV on the Radio - Province
263. Radiohead - Reckoner

y control >>>>>>>>>> maps

"It's a Hit" over "Piazza, New York Catcher"

Mr. Smith. even though I've never loved "Waltz #2," it really is one of those songs that perfectly distills an artist's work into a single song. his legacy song for sure. I will note that he played everything except the strings on the song, and all in one day.

Wanted to vote listzomania just for AOC vibes but Jealous Lovers is forever.

Leaning towards the Alvvays song right now

I really like that Sufjan tune though I haven't heard it in years

lol @ including LCD's worst song on here

“House of Jealous Lovers” is about 200 spots too low.

Yeasayer - O.N.E.

the one for me

why are album tracks from the worst strokes albums placing in this thing

yeasayer had like 4 of 5 excellent songs, didn't they? i think my favorite was sunrise. never did come together for a full excellent album

waltz #2

"Reckoner"

Ratpure

Stoned and Starving

yeah i like the idea of building a big indie-rock songs canon, but this poll sucks.

"Province" is extremely good

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

went with weird fishes

As long as "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down" gets 0 votes, we're good.

Was vacillating between In Undertow and Coming Down, then saw It's A Hit and, uh, yeah.

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

As long as "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down" gets 0 votes, we're good.

top 3 are right imo

This is becoming a slog but it's important we poll these songs.
