	No offense to the quiz maker obviously, but what a terrible list.

	Yeah, that's one stupid list. I mean, what's their definition of indie? This looks like a shortlist to songs some **** with terrible taste thinks are credible. Is NME aimed at recently divorced 50 year olds? Oasis? I mean, how "indie" can you be after selling 70 million albums? And the song selections...I don't know the other bands half as well, but if you want to represent well, anything about the band Pixies with "Monkey", you must've only heard these two songs. And even then are they ranked in the wrong order. I know that for a song to be considered an anthem, it can't be obscure or anything, but what indie crowd would hail these songs as their anthems? Haha!

	This list is almost unbearably British.

	I don't mind having Supersonic, Live Forever, and Cigarettes and Alcohol on the list because Oasis were nobodies when they wrote and recorded the songs, but how indie can you really be if you're playing in front of a quarter-million people?

	A variety of lame-os, nobodies, or lame nobodies, and not Neutral Milk Hotel. Sigh.

	NME have terrible tastes. I think the fact that 95% of people got Wonderwall and more people got Dont Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova than Live Forever, that even when NME chose several songs by the same band, they even got them in the wrong order.

	The fact that Oasis is on this list once is enough to make me sick, but number 1! Ridiculous. Way too much British music.
