I'm not even going to go on the standard "some of those bands aren't even independent" spill just because I adore this quiz so much.

Good test, very poor name. I almost didn't play it because I don't like Indie bands. Then I noticed that most of them are post-punk/new wave/college rock bands. Seriously, you've got 20 bands and maybe 3 bands that would be considered "indie". Change the name.

The name is just fine. I only have two minor issues—for one, the real name of the band in question is just "Pixies", no "The" (just like Talking Heads). Also, "Sonic" and "Loud" aren't synonymous. Sure, Sonic Youth are loud... but that's beside the point.

Great quiz. I agree about the Sonic Youth clue. Maybe something like "aural kids" would be better?

Well Mr. Stone... I got 14. Good for 96th percentile. Thanks for the Manics shout-out! Sad to say I missed "Asphalt". :-( Good points on the Sonic Youth clue... I'm surprised no one's commented on the "Attractive Meadows". It's just a TAD, and I say that quite flippantly, misleading. Dinosaur Jr. was the last to click, but it would have helped had you spelled Tyrannosaurus correctly. Just sayin'.

Oh, and when I counted, @raccoonleaf, ELEVEN of these bands should be classified as indie. Maybe you don't know who they are...? The names stays.
