Agree or Disagree???

Thoughts???

Missed out any???

I like smells like teen spirit but I don't think it's the 2nd greatest indie song ever.

i think it's impact probably counted for a large part of it's placement.

Mostly agree. Lots of songs from the same bands though.

I would definately put the Smiths above Nirvana.

Any artist that brings a genre into the limelight tends to get more credit than the originators. Its a real shame but its the truth. Not to take away from the fact that anyone or any group that promotes the genre should get credit but if your looking for a list fo the greats it should be based on the music not the contribution.

i don't think smells like ... can be categorized as indie...

okay, plus means i agree... oh, i love that you posted this!!!!!

i love that there is more than one libs,blur and shambles song, but some elastica, more suede, pulp, kula shaker,.... well, they did okay job....

No White Stripes? This saddens me.

Nice to see Pulp in there though, they were the first band I ever saw live.

Definitely in need of some White Stripes.

I guess with only 50 places & the list with no time limit.

AND - that isn't the best arctic monkeys song.

It just had the biggest impact.

so there's another example of an impact song NvrEnough.

I can't be the one to classify a band as indie or not but if your going to include Blur, The Verve, and Oasis, I thing that there is no better anthem song than "Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter.

looks legit!

mmm.... i like

for the most part

i kinda skimmed

but i see some libertines!!!

(which is great, btw)

this list makes a lot more sense than pretty much any list ive seen.

mmm.... i like

for the most part

i kinda skimmed

but i see some libertines!!!

(which is great, btw)

The libertines are a must!

i'm so happy they are there.

No Blue Monday - the biggest selling 12" of all time??? Infact no New Order at all, or Happy Mondays (the first band I saw live). That whole MADchester scene is totally under-represented...

But good to see The Smiths and Stone Roses so high up.

mmm.... i like

for the most part

i kinda skimmed

but i see some libertines!!!

(which is great, btw)

The libertines are a must!

i'm so happy they are there.

HELL

YEAH!!

oasis too

but really

i truly do love a lot of the songs on that list

in my opinion it DOES make more sense than some of the rankings i've seen
