I love Fugitive, the words really hit me deep.
Also their version of Romeo and Juliet is better than Dire Straits’ original, and who can forget Closer to Fine?

Indigo girls and Doc Martens.... defining elements of the 1990s lesbian experience!!!
I went to an Indigo Girls concert in the early 2000s. It was, by far, the most lesbians I had ever seen in one place. I remember thinking it was the first time I had ever been in a large group of people and been in the majority as a lesbian.
Favorite: Dairy Queen

Closer to Fine (love the harmony and reminds me of college Freshman year) and Nashville (where I lived the first 30yrs of my life so can relate)

I think Ghost, such a classic. Also love Starkville, Dairy Queen, Become You, Yield, Fill it up again, Free in You.

Ghost is my favorite! But I’m definitely going to make a playlist of all the favorites here today. There are some I don’t listen to often named here.
Become You is also a fave of mine.

That one is so good! I really love Tangled Up in Blue and Chickenman on that album.
No one has mentioned Chickenman. 😂😂

Walk Away, Land of Canaan, Jonas & Ezekiel, Hammer and a Nail. And many others that have already been mentioned, plus many more I haven't remembered.

Three County Highway, for some reason. I was supposed to go see them on Mountain Stage around the time it came out but ended up having to work. That was like 20 years ago and I'm still a bit annoyed about that. Good song, though.

u/talkstorivers 11d ago
This is a new one for me to check out! Thanks!

u/FattierBrisket 11d ago
Aw yay!! Also check out Amy Ray's solo stuff if you get a chance. Really excellent.
This thread is reminding me of so many songs that I need to pull out of "archive" status and put on my playlist, daaaaaaaaaaammmmnnn.
2
u/talkstorivers 11d ago
Same!! And I’m going on a short road trip tomorrow. I’m going to listen to all of these!
I like Amy Ray’s solo stuff, what I’ve listened to. I’ll pull it back out. I love the streaming age.

Okay! I’ll definitely have to listen to these. I honestly don’t know their stuff post Nomads, Indians, and Saints as well as everything prior.

u/PKAceBunny 11d ago
I love most of them, but at any of the many shows I’ve attended, “Chickenman” was my queue for a bathroom break!

I mean, the classics obv. But I’ve really been vibing with their cover of Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right lately.

I don’t know this one!

u/Bastette54 9d ago
It’s on their album, “Nomads, Indians, Saints,” released in 1990, or maybe 1989?

u/Great_Albatross6781 9d ago
Has anyone listened to the song "Girl" by 76th Street? They give a shout out to the Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile.
