Am planning on making a basic "Intro to Indie Rock" CD for someone. Taking suggestions. I do not intend to diverge from the mainline of indie rock, though. Big guns only: Pavement, Archers of Loaf, Built to Spill, JSBX, Modest Mouse, Sebadoh will prop up the nineties, I'm thinking I'll need some basic precursors (Velvet Underground, Ramones, Pixies, maybe Cure or Echo and the Bunnymen), possibly a band or two to represent the current stuff (I dunno, Wilco or Interpol or something). But I want it to be basic. None of that Caustic Resin or anything. And definitely no sub-genres, insofar as that's possible (alt-country, psych-folk, none of that). Definitely a focus on lo-fi as I consider that the "mainline" of indie rock. So let me know if you have ideas.

And if you've failed to vote in the Thursday Travesty or Tragedy from last week, its not to late! I won't tally the votes until Thursday, so please opine, and you may also present suggestions for the coming Thursday, though I have lots of things I plan to discuss.
