Today, I am taking a stand. After reading Nitsuh Abebe of New York's article " Indie Grown Ups ," an editorial declaring 21st century culture monuments like Radiohead, Wilco, Neko Case, Feist and Bon Iver founders of "the new adult contemporary", I couldn't help but feel protective of the bands he unfairly maligns. On the surface, Abebe's article seems inoffensive, ceding that these bands' most recent works are respectable and retain artistic value.

This started out as a top ten list, but I ended up with twelve songs, and I can't really say that it's an all inclusive list, since even I'm not pretentious enough to think I've heard enough music to cover every base possible.
