My favorite metal bands are Coldplay, The Unicorns, Justin Timberlake, The Shins, and Green Day

I agree "indie" which is meant to be independant and unknown is for some reason the label of modern light rock bands who are internationally famous. And as for pop-rock, EUGH.

Independent means independent label. It has nothing to do with how well known you are or what you sound like. Arctic Monkeys had the fastest selling debut album in UK history last year but they're still indie because they're on Domino which is an independently owned label. Indie bands are seen as "unknown" because they have much less marketing and in general have a non radio-friendly style.

Classic Rock is super overrated.

lol @ you missing the fact i just called Justin Timberlake heavy metal and went to Green Day. yeah, i was making a joke, i was just testing people's reactions.

what i dont get with indie, is if its meant to be indiependant and all that, a lot really does sound the same. dont get me wrong, i may not be the world's greatest lover of indie, but i dont hate it, it just strikes me as odd

The same reason every genre sounds the same. You're just hearing what's on the radio; Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand etc. These are just indie bands that have a much more accessible and radio-friendly style and are much more commonly known, but certainly do not speak for the entire indie genre. Listen to rap on the radio, it sounds all the same. But anyone can tell you that what's on the radio really isnt what the whole genre is like.

Wouldn't agree that classic rock is over-rated, the beatles/led zeppelin/jimi hendrix founded so much music for the bands playing now

True, but seriously... it's old. And thats pretty much the reason that it is influential. They were just at the start of this whole music revolution. There wasen't much to turn to.

And The Beatles alone had almost as many songs as everything from the 90's put together on the Rolling Stone "500 Greatest Songs" list, classic rock wasen't that great.
