1. Yo La Tengo
2. Pavement

Does Smashing Pumpkins count? They were still "indie" with Gish.

sorry no... smashing pumpkins doesn't count, although billy corgan made an attempt at indie cred by teaming up with David Pajo (Slint, Aerial M, Tortoise) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez) in zwan.

Blues Explosion are/were one of the best live acts ever. I liked Slowdive meself. Would've married Rachel Goswell given half a chance.

the only 90s indie rock i can face without cringing is Yo La Tengo, Hood, and Tortoise.

honorable mentions to Stereolab.

we should start a 'fav 1990s techno' thread.

I quite enjoyed New Order.

Yo La Tengo Elysian Fields Kat Onoma (French band. Songs in French, English and Spanish)

Therapy? Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Sultans of Ping.

The 90s were sorta bleak for me in terms of music. Looking at my cd collection I slowed down in purchasing in the 90s. The whole Nirvana/Pearl Jam/STP grunge thing was the message that good times were taking a coffee break.

Best indie band in the 90s House of Large Sizes

PWEI/ NEDS

Lemonheads

Soundgarden/mudhoney

sonic youth / urge overkill

Buffalo Tom

Juliana Hatfield / muses

I went to their re-union gig in leeds recently it was pretty mental.

I tuned out for most of the 90s, but Dub Narcotic Soundsystem is great. Shake-a-puddin'

Mekons The Swans Yo La Tengo Freakwater Mark Stewart Will Oldham and his many configurations Man Or Astroman????? Waco Brothers The Walkabouts The Supersuckers Uncle Tupelo

Pavement were okay, at best, nothing they do has come close to the best of The Fall.

always had a soft spot for Catherine Wheel
