A.) Honestly, you don't have to tell anyone here about the Pixies, that is what we have Black Francis for (that's Black Francis the MB member, not the irl Black Francis guy)
B.) How does The Doors make it onto a indie/alt Rock list? They were more along the Psychedelic Rock/Acid Rock vein. Don't get me wrong I like them and all, but if you going to talk about indie bands and then include "The Doors," than you might as well included every 60s Psychedelia and Garage Rock band ... ever ... in the universe.

R.E.M. just seemed to ride on the coattails of that explosion.

I knew I shouldn't have wondered into this thread cause now I have a headache. I think you have it backwards, there were dozens of bands before Nirvana that paved the way for them. R.E.M. was one of them. Nirvana would be lumberjacks cutting down trees in the back woods of Washington if it wasn't for MTV.

There are dozens of bands to get into, probably too many to list. Here a few sample of really good/great bands spanning five decades.
The Clash (minus Cut the Crap album)
R.E.M. (the I.R.S. years)
Stereolab
Broadcast
Melody's Echo Chamber
