It's tough to come up with 5, and tough to feel comfortable with what people consider Indie.

It's just Illinois, and it isn't spelled with an e at the end.

No, it's Illinoise. It's stylized and a pun!

Dude, yes it is! Look at the top of the album cover. Or should I highlight it in red for you? You are just digging this hole deeper and deeper!! :)

I liked Silent Alarm, but am I missing something? I didn't think A Weekend In the City was all too great. Just wondering why you liked it more than Silent Alarm.

In no particular order:
Artic monkeys –Whatever people say I am…
Bloc party –Silent alarm
White stripes-Elephant

it all boils down to personal preference i suppose, Kelli :)

Bloc Party are one of my favourite bands so i absolutely love Silent Alarm, but Weekend just grabs me more. Hunting For Witches, Waiting For The 7:18, Uniform, are just some of my favourite songs. there is a certain strength to it i don't find so noticeable in Silent Alarm. to me, this record is flawless.

same thing with Arcade Fire, i guess. most fans of the band would say Funeral is their best, however nothing beats Neon Bible for me. apparently, i go against the tide a bit :)

that said, i seem to enjoy every record Bloc Party put out. whatever style they choose to adopt, they always do it well.
