Haha, I did qualify "best" with "indie" in phrasing the question. It reads "best indie band" not "best band."

Wikipedia:

Indie (music): "One of the most common and widely recognized definitions of 'indie' is the description of not being connected with a major recording label"

Gladys Knight: "Label(s): Vee-Jay, Motown, Buddah, Columbia, MCA, Verve"

Sorry, I can't make such a fatal concession as this. Although even disqualified from being "indie" that doesn't mean they aren't damn good.
