Following the advice of Maximum Jack, here is the thread to check out when you want recommendations for anything indie-related. Trust me, other than these, there are still about a dozen more threads dealing with indie. So if you are looking for new music, want some suggestions, want to know what the top albums are, etc. This is the place to check:
I'd say just about any thread here is good for recommendations. These forums have a definite slant toward indie rock, so as long as you stay out of the categories that are explicitly non-indie, you should find some good indie recommendations.
Most of us here could easily rattle off 100 bands and albums newbies should check out, but if you look around the site, we've already done that.
----- I don't dig the Stripes, but I'll go for Har Mar.

Nice work FKA. I would also suggest anyone new to the site and looking for recommendations to do a quick 'search' for their favorite artists before posting a thread like "I Love the Magnetic Fields, who else should I be listening to?" Chances are, there is already a thread devoted to your band, and you can pose your query there. As our two stellar mods have suggested, there are lots of great threads with loads of great information around here. Happy hunting!

What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob

I find it kind of funny that it seemed like every week there was a new "Recommend me some indie!" thread, and now that this thread was made a sticky there's been literally no talk of recommendations.
I played in a death-metal band. People either loved us or hated us, or they thought we were OK

Do you read threads or just look at the titles? Good job.
