this would be a lot easier if it were only 500 songs. plus it could have a ridiculously clever name like the "Indie 500." anyways...

i think we're actually on 964. charli_lady's pick didn't get a number.

964. the breeders--saints

The Wrens -- propane.

Those of you who do not know of this band are really, really, really missing out. Absolutely one of the best bands ever. I am not kidding.
