yeah, also "california demise, pt. 3"

I'd have to say:

islands - rough gem. the songs keyboard and how the song is so addictive is amazing.

also wolf parade - dear sons and daughters of hungry ghosts, and this heart's on fire.

Modest Mouse - 'Float On'
Pinback - 'Fortress'
Wolf Parade - 'Shine A Light'
The Shins - pretty much everything but particularly 'Young Pilgrims' and of course, 'New Slang'

I kind of think this is a lame thread (sorry), but I'll say on a whim that "Moby Octopad" by Yo La Tengo wins. Of course, that could change any second. Hence my first clause.

Currently I adore "Popular" the guide to popularity by Nada Surf... great song, great rage...
Further...
-Say Anything - Alive with the glory of love
-Tapes'n Tapes - Insistor
-Les Savy Fav - The sweat descends

here are some that have been on repeat lately.

anonymous collective - stereolab
as we go up, we go down - guided by voices
awful bliss - guided by voices
a day in the graveyard part 2 - sunset rubdown
mary susan - blood on the wall
green typewritters I - olivia tremor control

at the moment i'm quite impressed with the strokes 'juicebox'

Well, if we're limiting it strictly to indie-pop (different from indie-rock), I'll go with

Fruit Bats - "Rainbow Sign"
I'm From Barcelona - "We're From Barcelona"
Magnetic Fields - "I Don't Want To Get Over You"
Page France - "Trampoline"
Snow Machine - "Came Lights"
Hello Saferide - "I Don't Sleep Well"

"Hey Hey You Say" Papas Fritas

"Moby Octopad" by Yo La Tengo
I think I saw this mentioned already. I could listen to that song forever.

Just off the top of my head, I'd say Islands - Rough Gem and Stars - Elevator Love Letter and Ageless Beauty.

I'm not calling this my favorite, but a song that always gets stuck in my head is "Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel. I've been whistling it for three days!

absolutely amazing song, IMO. i also love "song about sex" off of on avery island.

you could probably take any of The Unicorns' songs....i'll go with "Ghost Mountain," although "I was born a Unicorn" is another favorite (in the indie-pop stuff).

I'll take "Jellybones" from that album.

Sebadoh - "Skull"

Probably "All Green" by Clem Snide. It just makes me happy.

wow, i cant believe people are saying wolf parade of all bands. i didnt find them catchy at all. dont get me wrong: i really like them, but catchy they are not. here is catchy:

wilco: jesus etc.
modest mouse: float on
band of horses: our swords
cure: close to me

Oh lord, that entire Unicorns album is just one great big indie pop explosion that's so good when it hits the ears.

Of Montreal makes some pretty neat indie pop, in my opinion. "This Party's Crashing Us", "Wraith Pinned to the Mist", "Disconnect the Dots", and "Rapture Rapes the Muses" are great songs off of their last two albums.

i agree gree.......... easily fooled by pavement is another good one
