I could go on and on with this list, as indie rock is my favored genre, but if there is any indie rock song I'd want, at this moment, it's She & Him's "Why Don't You Let Me Stay Here?".

A colab with already well-known indie solo guitarist, M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel (Hitchhiker's Guide, Elf), She & Him is one of my favorite albums of this year. Their single, listed above, has all the essentials for Rock Band: great vocals from Zooey that includes a cool a coppella part, a fun (albeit, chord heavy) guitar with a neat solo towards the end, a pretty solid drum piece (with a few short-but-sweet breakdowns), and probably a bass in there somewhere :p.

So, this is my choice. What else do you indie junkies have for Rock Band?

There is a huge thread, called the Indie Master Thread. If you use the search function it should pop up. It has a large list of indie bands and links to the specific threads for each band.

Personally, I would love some more Modest Mouse. Built to Spill is my underdog favorite. I doubt we will ever get them but it would be sweet if we did.

I'd love to see songs from these bands that aren't in Rock Band:
Metric - Succexy
Tokyo Police Club - Cheer It On
Pavement - Summer Babe [Winter Version]
Wintersleep - Dead Letter
The National - Mistaken For Strangers
Broken Social Scene - Cause = Time
The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
The Shins - Caring Is Creepy
Stars - Take Me To The Riot
The Black Keys - Strange Times
MGMT - Kids
Spoon - Everything Hits At Once
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
Autolux - Blanket
Eleven - All Falls Away
The Pack A.D. - Making Gestures

More from the indie bands already in Rock Band would be great too. More Modest Mouse, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The New Pornographers, etc.
