I'm not Canadian, but I know for a fact that You Forgot It In People is one of my favorite albums of this decade.

Same country, eh? I'll stay American.

1) Neutral Milk Hotel / In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2) Modest Mouse / Lonesome Crowded West
3) Bonnie "Prince" Billy / I See a Darkness
4) My Morning Jacket / It Still Moves
5) Silver Jews / American Water

I'll undoubtedly think of 10-20 records I mistakenly left off in the next hour. Oh well, I'm content with this list.

Dunno if they are all indie rock...but here is my list

Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Radiohead - The Bends
Wilco - Summer Teeth

not only are they not all indie, they aren't even all from different countries! READ!

Wales

John Cale - Vintage Violence
Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
Badfinger - Straight Up
Super Furry Animals - Guerrilla
Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go

Edit: Oops! Just realized a couple of those aren't really indie. Perhaps Wales was too difficult a choice for this task...anyone else care to try?

Madchester -UK

-Oasis - "Definitely Maybe"
-The Stone Roses - "The Stone Roses"
-Joy Division - "Closer"
-The Smiths - "The Queen is Dead"
-Doves - "Lost Souls"

when we talk about music , Manchester alone , could work as a whole country with so many great acts n classic album releases.

Alright, I'll take Sweden:

The Knife - Deep Cuts
Familjen - Det Snurrar I Mi Skalle
Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala
Jose Gonzalez - Veneer
Peter Bjorn and John - Writer's Block

Are you meaning indie as in "indie rock" or as in "indie labels"?

Glasgow - UK

-Jesus And Mary Chain – "Psychocandy"
-Mogwai - "Young Team"
-Franz Ferdinand - "Franz Ferdinand"
-Belle & Sebastian - "The Boy with the Arab Strap"
-Teenage Fanclub - "Grand Prix"

Featured in these forums only so that people will look here first before we get a thousand more “I need suggestions” and “looking for new bands/albums” threads.

i feel honored to have my thread !ed.

1.Neon Bible (Arcade Fire)
2.Z (My Morning Jacket)
3.In Rainbows (Radiohead)
4.The Soft Bulletin (The Flaming Lips)
5.GaGaGaGa (Spoon)

But this is daily choice...

Same country, I'll do a revised American one:

Okkervil River - "Black Sheep Boy"
Peter and the Wolf - "Lightness"
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - "I See A Darkness"
The Hold Steady - "Boys and Girls in America"
Bob Dylan - "Highway 61 Revisited"
