Do you any of you know what the biggest selling independent album of all time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
michael jackson - thriller i think. i dont know, im just a swift_jam |
||||||||
|
|

I think he means independent as in 'on an independent label'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
define "independant" in england you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well thats the thing, i dont think any 'indie' album has sold all that much until it was picked up and distributed by a major label after its initial 'indie' release. if thats the criteria im sure its gotta be some kind of hip-hop/rap album. |

oh man. whoops. im going to go kill myself no for misunderstanding the question. not really, but i am going to go eat. later, for today anyways. |

||||||||
|
|

Well i am in a debate about what the biggest selling independent album of all time is. I don't think it matters which country it is in but maybe in England too, that would help. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
probably something by the smiths |
||||||||
|

Well i have been told that in it is fat of the land by the prodigy but i thought it was smash by the offspring. It is a slightly shite topic i muust admit. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the cure? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Fiction. In the early days i believe. |

Half Man Half Biscuit's "Back In The DHSS" was the biggest selling indie album of 1986. |

is radiohead indie? pixies? fatboy slim? |

after 1990 the word indie became a joke. and misconstrued. it died. AND as if mute (=tossers) oh am i going to lose some friends here? ok well err i can't be bothered but ill shut it. yes, mute. erasure or depeche mode is the answer. as if anyone gives a shit. |

Tell us about your bad experiences with Mute records. You weren't one of the Mute Drivers? I liked their PWA song. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
on the contrary, my alchohol fulled jealousy only exasperates that fact mute are THE independant label. the guy who runs it in theory wants every release to be available to the public and fair play to him. check mutebank, theyre all there. he's awesome. credit where credit is due, mute are about music, how many other labels do this? i count none. mute rules. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok second guessing if there was a reward for getting the right answer i woyld guess at 'depeche mode 81-85'. or maybe the innocents by erasure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, when you look at that artist list,.... it's a lot of the greats. |
||||||||
