I have a friend who is into mainstream music, stuff that one would hear on MTV or general radio stations. I want to introduce her to some good indie music and would like some ideas of songs that would be appropriate. I asked her a song that she really likes right now and she gave me this song. I appreciate everyones help and am looking forward to seeing responses.

DissectingArtFilter: I'd like to start to understand how certain (in my eyes, fantastic) lyrics are devised. Specifically, Stephen Malkmus's lyrics, as a part of Pavement. For instance, Gold Soundz. I can pick out some slant rhymes, and certain other techniques but can't figure out how they work in the context of the entire piece. I know that melody plays a huge role in making the song what it is, but sort of focusing on the lyrics part - any words of wisdom. (and yes, I'm possibly writing lyrics for my band at some point)

I've seen many lists of essential indie bands and albums but never really a list of songs. What individual songs do you feel are absolutely essential for indie music fans? Old or new, any musical style. I'm interested in what you feel HAS to be mentioned when your favorite indie songs are discussed. Thanks....
