So Here's quick history of indie and the albums you need: Pavement- slanted enchanted, this started it all Pavement- Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain Nuetral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane over the sea My bloody Valentine- Loveless Boards of Canada- Music Has the Right To Children Spoon- Kill the moonlight Spoon- ga ga ga ga Arcade Fire- The Funeral Animal Collective- Sung Tongs Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam Panda Bear- Person pitch LCD Soundsystem- Sounds Of Silver Sigur Ros- Agaetis Byrrn or whatever As an ever evolving Genre you have to be up on what's out stereogum.com- a very nice site that details leaks etc. Pitchforkmedia.com- pretty much the mecca for new music in general and often times a good prediction for what's going to be big, for all the gruff it gets for being rather elitist, it's end of the year lists are pretty accurate and it's decades lists are nice.

lol wow.
