80's-90's indie rock icon

HECKLER SPRAY · 10.23.2007, 07:21 PM

For you, Who does really personify indie rock ?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 10.23.2007, 07:26 PM

I disrespect the word indie.
But I'd go with unwound for the 90s
80s is obvious.

mental ray · 10.23.2007, 07:29 PM

Fugazi for the 90's.

Everyneurotic · 10.23.2007, 08:11 PM

pointless thread.

SynthethicalY · 10.23.2007, 08:13 PM

Kurt Cobain, Beck, and Billy Corgan are not indie. But I would go with Kurt, just because if it wasn't for him mentioning Sonic Youth I would not have found out better music.

Silent Dan Speaks · 10.23.2007, 09:04 PM

Thurston all the way.

pbradley · 10.23.2007, 09:11 PM

I think I would go with Mike Watt since he's collaborated with everyone under the sun. And he's awesome.

mental ray · 10.23.2007, 09:23 PM

Bah I'd certainly go for Guy Picciotto but in this case : Steve Albini.

alyasa · 10.23.2007, 09:37 PM

Thurston Moore: The King of Indie Rock.

StevOK · 10.23.2007, 09:41 PM

I picked Beck. He's the most recognizable person besides Kurt Cobain, and I'm not going to pick teh Kurdt for this sort of thing.

flophousefloozie · 10.23.2007, 09:49 PM

Steve Albini. He's work hard enough to gain the name

LittlePuppetBoy · 10.23.2007, 11:09 PM

Malkmus

Norma J · 10.24.2007, 12:58 AM

Beck if you're referring to the loose term indie. But others mentioned in the list for other things not mentioned in the list.

Pax Americana · 10.24.2007, 01:35 AM

Ian Mackaye. Who is absent from the poll.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 10.24.2007, 01:43 AM

on the list, BECK

atsonicpark · 10.24.2007, 03:14 AM

David Grubbs.

king_buzzo · 10.24.2007, 03:25 AM

J. It seems to me that in every interview and anything about him they call him 'the founder of the indie rock scene'

Serioulsy, I think we haven't enough "General" threads where the new boarders could take part. when i joined the board, there were threads like "what's your favourite SY song ?" or other stuffs like that. That's why I started this one.

I tried to be as "various" as possible. And you know, you can only have 10 choices...
But you can also choose an other one.

Bob fucking Pollard. I will not rest until GBV get the appreciation they deserve.
