Pretty much, any indie band could easly fall into the alternative rock category.

punk music is the most exciting. but it covers a wide range

Indie has my vote

im gonna say blues, it gave way to so many other genres and even though it's not my favourite i'd say it was the greatest genre invented. i just don't see how people can vote for indie:S it's just such an insignificant genre in comparison with so many others.

Poorly said but well thought. This was pretty much my answer.

There's so many great genres (read: subgenres) out there that it's pretty moronic to pick just one as "the greatest" but here's a couple of my favorites for the last two or so years:

Post-Punk
Avant-Jazz
Noise Rock
Math Rock
Alternative Rock (read: 80-90's indie rock ala Husker Du, not post-grunge)
Punk RAWK!
Kraut Rock
Blues Rock
and... prog... which I'm going to use as a broad term to describe everything from Frank Zappa to Captain Beefheart to Mr. Bungle to King Crimson.

I think when most people say indie they're usually talking about indie rock and indie pop, but I don't really care enough to get into that argument.

best type of music ever invented..
Porn groove
