"Hidden World" was their breakthrough, I thought"Epics In Minutes" is amazingand Fucked Up are an indie band on Jade Tree & Matador so this thread is eating itself

"Epics In Minutes" is a compilation of their 7"s, "Baiting The Public", "Police", "Circling The Drain", all excellent

What is the miles davis record eventually endorsed by indie dudes as a classic then? On the Corner? Jack Johnson? Silent Way? Is there really only one?
― hey boys, suppers on me, our video just went bacterial (Hurting 2), Sunday, 30 January 2011 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link
On the Corner is pretty much the one, yeah. Indie folks don't fuck with acoustic Miles, in my experience.
― that's not funny. (unperson), Sunday, 30 January 2011 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link
On the Corner is great but it's kind of the Miles record that sounds least like a Miles record. Still, I kind of thought Bitches Brew was cannon for indie dudes who dabble in jazz.
― hey boys, suppers on me, our video just went bacterial (Hurting 2), Sunday, 30 January 2011 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Nah, Bitches Brew is canonical Miles for Sixties rock dudes. OTC is the one for people who grew up in a post-hip hop, post-Laswell soundworld.

^ dunno, they always got a vinyl copy of Bitches Brew for sale in indie shops. think it's the canonical Miles selection for non-jazz ppl in general. OTC is go2 for yr more "discerning" indie types.
― normal_fantasy-unicorns (contenderizer), Sunday, 30 January 2011 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link
First Clutch album (can't google the name) is an even better example.
OD has one of my favorite songs of all time on it (Dead Bent) but I actually like KMD's Mr. Hood even more...
Art of Self Defense is easily one of my favorite albums of the decade.

Indie is superior to most genres of the past 25 years, y'know, but there were some great and very underrated non-indie albums released in the first half of the 80s:
Depeche Mode: Construction Time AgainThompson Twins: Quick Step & SidekickHoward Jones: Human's LibAlphaville: Forever Young

i honestly didn't think using a seemingly self-explanatory shorthand for "publications on the web and in print that focus primarily on indie (the genre) music" would be all that inflammatory. But it's apparantly like Pauly D from Jersey Shore walking into the middle of Daddy's at happy hour and yelling "HIPSTERS!"

Yeah, this is the part about this thread that feels off to me. I don't buy the notion that there is a single "best" record that invalidates all other releases by some of the artists listed itt.
I feel this way about Mastodon and Spiritualized. Leviathan and Lazer Guided Melodies are both excellent, but in no way light years better than subsequent albums.
Most bands that I truly like have multiple albums that I would listen to.
