The Brit Box is Rhino Records' new box set repackaging - for an American audience - of the history of British indie music, 1984-1998, taking the story from the Smiths all the way to...well, you'll see.

I thought it would be a good one to do as a canon - MOAR FOOL ME as it took ages to type and typing really made me think the whole thing is incredibly badly put together. But don't take my word for it, go and use your TWENTY-SIX!!!! tickys yourself on the below.

[Poll #1092622]

(Also appearing on the Brit Box was "Common People" by Pulp, which I somehow forgot to include on the poll. I'm sure it would have done very well.)

One of the persistent themes in the Now polls is "wow this is my first NOW album" (frantically ticks everything). Another persistent theme is "OK at this point I'd got into indie" (ashamedly ticks nothing). So in the endless search for shared experience let me ask you this question:

How did you get into indie?

and as a bonus question - let's try not to make this too loaded -

If indie is less central to your music listening now than it once was, why do you think this is?

Define the i-word however you like.

I think I have asked similar qns on ILM, but this is a new kettle and these are new fish.
