indie is not a genre, it refers to a band whose music is released on an independent label. that being said some great bands:
early death cab (anything before plans, although plans is their best album, it was released on a major label)
early decemberists
Neutral Milk Hotel
the antlers
sufjan stevens
beirut
the smiths and joy division are also two indie bands although they are considered post-punk/ alternative
just to name a few totally random bands. obviously there are a butt-load of others but just troll around the indie forums and you'll find some that you'll like
