It is sad that most people can't appreciate the beauty of this title.
I am one of those people. Explain beauty, please.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Well, I think coquelicot is just a pretty French word (co-klee-co). But, more importantly, it means poppy.
I am sad that Versus is not on that list.

Aww yeah Versus!
The Strokes aren't on the list. Indie cred is a fickle thing indeed.
While I certainly enjoy them, the Strokes are on RCA, so they are not indie. I had the same momentary thought about PJ Harvey but remembered she is also not on an indie label (she's on Island).
I had to go back and check the link to see why Sonic Youth was on there.
Nominations must have been originally released on an independent label. Albums released on indies which were later acquired and/or re-released by majors are allowed (like Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation, originally released by a pre-1989 major label merger Enigma Records).
Oh, OK then.
4′33″ Ringtones, Remixes, Mashups & More!
Semi-obscure music fans rejoice: iTunes is currently featuring “Four Minutes, Thirty Three Seconds” by John Cage as their Discovery Download of the week! For those that don’t know, 4′33″ is a composition in which Cage instructs the musician not to play anything at all for four minutes and thirty three seconds. It’s the sort of piece that was written to insite conversation in high school intro to music classes and to be a long running joke for music majors for generations to come. I’ve got to admit it’s really cool to see iTunes feature it so prominently in their store. Maybe it will encourage a few people to check out some of Cage’s other pieces (like his scores for prepared piano).
You can download it for free from iTunes.

I got their song "Sugar" as a bonus for some reason when I bought my Dell fauxPod. I rather like it.
That is a decent list (The Bats!) and I'm glad to see they didn't resort to a bastardized definition of "indie."
