Best Indie Albums (uk)?

Hi, I'm putting together a mega playlist on spotify. Was wondering what people think are the best indie/alt albums or bands in the UK over the last 50 years.

    Don't forget the Sex Pistols - they made it all possible!

    For more uptodate stuff, I've liked every Cribs track I've heard, but not had the courage to buy any of their CDs - I just feel like I'd get fed up listening to a whole CD's-worth of them. But track-for-track they're a good band.

    Radiohead is the best alt band from over there. Fake plastic trees is awesome.
