VA - Underrated Indie Rock (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4

Indie rock is a genre of music that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, characterized by its DIY ethos, diversity, and experimentation. Indie rock songs often defy mainstream conventions and explore themes such as alienation, identity, politics, and social issues. However, despite its artistic merit and influence, indie rock is often overlooked or dismissed by the mainstream music industry and media. Indie rock songs tend to be complex, nuanced, and challenging, requiring more attention and engagement from the listeners. They also often use unconventional instruments, sounds, structures, and lyrics, which may not appeal to the mass audience or fit into the radio-friendly formats. Moreover, indie rock songs are usually released by independent labels or self-produced by the artists, which means they have less exposure and promotion than the major label releases. 

Indie rock songs are often underrated because they are not easily accessible or marketable, and they are not adequately appreciated or respected by the mainstream music industry and media. However, this does not mean that indie rock songs are inferior or irrelevant. On the contrary, indie rock songs are valuable and significant because they offer diversity, creativity, and originality in the music scene. They also represent the voices and visions of the independent and alternative artists who dare to be different and challenge the norms. Indie rock songs deserve more recognition and appreciation from the music lovers and listeners who seek more than just entertainment and enjoyment from music. (B)

Here are 80 such examples that deserve more recognition, appreciation and more attention. Enjoy.
