Pavement - Stop Breathing (showcases the superb songwriting of perhaps the most important Indie band ever)

Archers of Loath - Wrong (An impassioned highlight from one of Indie Rocks standout albums, Icky Mettle)

Frog Eyes - Fence Jumps the Post (one of the more experimental exponents of the Indie sound, this song is short, snappy and enchanting)

Sebadoh - Not Too Amused (Ironic detachment and disdain for humanity were prevalent lyrical themes in the early 90's lo-fi incarnation of Indie for sure, this song, in my opinion the highlight of one of my favourite albums ever, not only typifies the sound of this movement, but the lyrical themes too)

The Wrens - She Sends Kisses ( heres a gem from a band that specialises in beautiful, melodic Indie bordering at times on Folk and Pop, two subgenres of the 'Indie' genre)
