Yo La Tengo I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass

Are Sonic Youth a prototype of indie? For me, Daydream Nation can already be considered indie at certain moments (like Teenage Riot, for example); for the rest, it's old-school noise... Anyway, I believe the precursors of indie can be found in the early '80s: two bands, one from Boston (the indie city par excellence) and one from Portland...

Here, it seems to me that Slint captures both the strengths and weaknesses of post-rock. On one hand, there are daring and unconventional harmonic/rhythmic constructions; on the other, a high dosage of self-indulgence, cerebralism, and exhibitionism. Shiner is awesome, Bible is evocative, but the rest I find pretentious and tedious, like much of progressive. I always say that in post-rock emotions are not lived but seen flowing: well, with Rodan I struggle to see them even in passing! :-D

What a ridiculous response!!! (I know the answer anyway, though... I just want to see if you know it too... the one, possible, acceptable, indisputable definition of indie-rock... hehehe...)

they probably are the ones who have created more than any other group the definition of Indie in musical terms <<< Question: what is the definition of Indie in musical terms? :-D

Fugazi 13 Songs

Well, they might not be exactly hardcore, but Fugazi finds their roots in hardcore... Don’t you really love McKaye’s voice?? Generally, people can’t stand Picciotto’s, due to the excess of pathos... I love both of them, but even more, I love their combination, their intertwining, their echoing, their blend (which makes Fugazi a unique and unmistakable band).

Don't you find them a bit kitsch, pompous at times?

Fugazi 13 Songs

Both are beautiful, come on... Of course, the good mood that "Waiting Room" puts you in is something no one else can replicate... But then with "Bulldog Front" the pain returns... I'm not too convinced by the ultra-dissonant Fugazi tracks like "Glue Man," while I love the "ballads" (Suggestion, Promises): there it is, among the many peculiarities of Fugazi, there's this unique ability to be a hardcore band that can create touching and never predictable ballads... Anyway, a stellar debut, with two singers already in great shape and a rhythm section on fire: the clever ideas in "Bad Mouth" (which sounds sung by Freddie Mercury! :-D) and "Burning Too" are genius... By the way, isn't "Gimme the cure" basically Satisfaction?? :-)))
