Music Help

[my porsche]

Ok, this girl made me a CD, and wants me to make her one, so I need some good song recommendations, I'm thinking mostly kind of Indie Rock type stuff, here's what I have so far just so you get an idea:

Third Floor Story - The Mother Hips
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
PDA - Interpol
Evil - Interpol
Heinrich Maneuver - Interpol
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Say It Ain't So - Weezer
Perfect Situation - Weezer
Maria - American Steel
Dig - Incubus (She's a big incubus fan...and hasn't hear this? WTF)


any/all recommendations would be great...

Obstacle 1 - Interpol

Anything from The Strokes "Room On Fire" CD, can't go wrong with The Strokes. Actually, if she wants more inde style, I'd go with the album "Is This It" instead. Good luck tho.

Also check out American Analog Set - "Punk As F*ck"

[Rockefella]

I'm not sure exactly what 'Indie Rock' music is (non-degrading term for emo?) but from what I'm guessing it is, I guess I can recommend 311.

A lot of people my age listen to them, and they seem kind of like Incubus or Weezer, I think. If not just put on like 5 DMX songs and say f**k it.

C'est La Vie - B*Witched.

Anything Michel de Hey can't go wrong for me, but that ain't very rock-ish

Oh I forgot that I have Love Song by 311 on there. I'm going to the 311 concert in 10 days!

DMX would be good. Roughriders anthem.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll listen to these...except Asif...what're you a 10 year old girl?!

We're both huge strokes fans, so I guess something from them wouldn't hurt...I'll check out that album.

Oh dear, no. I'm sorry, Creed are terrible, and in no way indie.

To Rocke: Indie is just short for independent, describing bands who self-release music, or release it on small "indie" labels. However, indie has become its own culture and genre nowadays.

I'll second/third/whatever The Strokes, with Is This It being their absolute prime album. Here are some more great indie tracks, mostly older stuff though. I find 90% of today's indie genre is derivative and oversaturated.

Pavement: Summer Babe (Winter Version)
Dismemberment Plan: The Jitters
The New Pornographers: From Blown Speakers
Modest Mouse: Anything from Lonesome Crowded West, or The Moon and Antarctica
The Flaming Lips: Slow Nerve Action
Franz Ferdinand: Anything off of the self-titled
Kasabian: Reason Is Treason
The Wrens: Faster Gun or Built in Girls

I'll stop myself for now, I can go all day about music.

Go for it Zepp.

I need this CD to be epic.

[chris98891]

anything by dispatch(specifically bang bang) or state radio(hopeless tender or the waitress)

[Zytek_Fan]

I recommend:
Another Travelin' Song - Bright Eyes
Bowl of Oranges - Bright Eyes
If You Fall - Azure Ray

I don't know of you could call Placebo indie, but I'll recommend some Placebo songs anyway;
36 Degrees
The Bitter End
Drag
This Picture
