Umm... tracy bonham and ani difranco are cool. though i admit i have no idea what "indie" means. to me it's like "alternative"... kind of vague.

just thought i'd throw these out because they're really good

sorry if it's not what you were looking for.

love tracy bonham! never got into ani though.. maybe i should give her another listen.. thanks for the reminder!

yeah, "indie" is kind of an obscure term. to me, it essentially means independant (unsigned by a major label) (k records, kill rock stars, touch and go, up, etc. - as opposed to Atlantic, Columbia, Sony, etc). i guess its a sub category of alternative.

 

[Borat]

Julie Doiron (similar to Jolie Holland)
Regina Spektor (similar to Nellie McKay)
Neko Case (sounds even more like Patsy Cline than Jenny Lewis does)
A Girl Called Eddy
Cat Power
Metric
Feist
Azure Ray
Joanna Newsom

Boy/Girl Vocals:
Stars
Saturday Looks Good To Me
The Fiery Furnaces
Mates of State

Not indie but I have to mention her because she's my favorite female vocalist of all time:
Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays

CAT POWER>>CAT POWER CAT POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD...yes shes the pic to the left. CAT POWER!!!

oh and Joanna Newsom is pretty popular right now. She's really good as well. So I'll mention her

 

[AdamWill]

Breeders, Low, The Delgados...Skunk Anansie for angry early-90s London punk...Patti Smith, of course...the Moldy Peaches if you can stand the twee factor...

 

[AdamWill]

Catatonia (and Cerys Matthews solo), Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star, Caitlin Cary, I should stop now.
