Greatest Indie Rock Songs

Cammy Connor played the drums for this song in sixth year. I enjoyed it. Unfortunately Nairns bass amp was too quiet, Rosie was out of tune, Carina shouted at me half the time and my guitar string broke. all in all a five out of ten performance

This has to be first! I mean, it's not only the most popular song of one of the most popular (and the best) indie rock band, it can also be seen as the ideal definition of "indie rock"- it is sooo good! Classic song, lyrics are amazing and The Killers wrote it, what else to say.

I honestly don't know why this isn't number 1 :(

This is the first, forever!

Guitar hero 3 baby!

Second best indie rock song but for some reason don't look back into the sun isn't on the list at all so reptilia has my vote

So Good

Right place

The tone for this whole song is so on point. You can't help but hearing it and imagining yourself singing it out loudly in front of 1000's-Jordan Lacy

The best indie song ever.

Great beat and lyrics. So good

6 songs in the top 10 alone? Aw yes! Arctic Monkeys are incredible, all of their good old indie bangers are amazing!

Amazing song, drums, guitar, vocals, lyrics, and just everything. Should be up much higher defiantly.

A song that anybody connects to---instantly. It is truly something special.

A masterpiece.

Recently started listening to a lot of indie rock, including the Strokes, Black Keys, Killers, Kooks, and several others including Franz Ferdinand. This song, along with Mr. Brightside, are easily my favorites from what I've listened to so far. Bring back the good rock!

Franz Ferdinand is not as good as The Arctic Monkeys, but this song is unique!

This song is pure gold

It's a great songs, makes me drift, it should be the first one

This song has an amazing beat and I find this song getting stuck in my head all the time. Incredible band, incredible song.

I can hear it all day long and never get tired of it!

I think I hear this song so many times.. But it feel like first time...

This song is just great and amazing

I love the contrast between the verses and the chorus! The pick-up is amazing!

Fantastic song. Should be first on this list

Best Indie Rock song out there!

Probably the greatest Indie Song Ever, coming from Indie Legends. You people are way too hung up on the Killers. and "Somebody Told Me"? Come on. That song is like a joke..

The only band to stay indie when they got big.

This song is great

Surprised to see so little killers on this list!

Maybe their best song. - Userguy44

Why? Can someone explain this to me its by far the best A. M song the lyrics the drums everything just listen to it ♥♥♥♥♥

Easily the greatest Indie Rock song. - 8gerrard8

Awesome to listen in the car... Nice

Let's dance to Joy division is much better, but this song is pretty great too)

This is the best indie rock song ever made. Period. It is just so awesome. Cannot understand why this is not on number 1!. How many things I have to write before I can post this?

How is this not in the top 5!? This is the Arctic Monkey's best song and they are the best Indie Rock band of all time. Should be top of the list really... Vote now!

One of the best songs ever. Arctic Monkeys totally rock!

Although every single song from the Arctic Monkeys is just brilliant

Whats with the people on this sites obsession with arctic monkeys? :( Arcade fire has so much more emotion, originality, and meaning in their music! I'm sad I haven't seen wake up or neighborhood #1 yet on this list though the suburbs is suburb!

I love Arctic Monkeys, but Win Butler is the king of indie music.

I hate arctic monkeys. ARCADE FIRE!

Arctic Monkeys?
It's Arcade Fire.

Great song with no flaw. Strong lyrics and riff.

Love to the Arctic Monkeys, can't go one single day without listening to them!

The point where the guitar kicks in is just really sublimeee

My favorite song ever

Should be number 1

Totally in love with Arctic Monkeys!

Honestly, what's the obsession with The Arctic Monkeys? The Strokes are way better!

This Song is Life! - LazyBones26

No. 35 what? Easily better than the whole top 10

Oh my god! Julian Casablancas is fantastic! He sounds great, looks great, is great.

This song is so great and it has a great message too. I love a song that sounds good, but actually means something as well.

Wasn't going to originally going to vote for this but when I saw it was 82 I was ashamed. Simply one of the best song made by one of the best bands!

Greatest catchy indie rock song period. Listen to it if you don't believe me.

Great song... one of the best albums ever made in my opinion

How is this indie rock? Please... Whoever added this is either very deluded or very stupid.

A classic, no doubt. Such a cool song with killer lyrics. Something I'll never forget. I'm flying to Europe to see them play specifically this song!

Lyrics to the first verse:

One... Take control of me?
You're messing with the enemy
Said it's 2... It's another trick
Messing with my mind, I wake up
Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats
I said it's cut with a dirty trick
It's taken all these days to find ya.

*Mindblown*

Nice beat, good music video, great album, ambitious lyrics

Anything else?

Why 87? This song should be at least in 10 place

The song I can relate to, besides very enregetic.
