Bass guitar lines: The Jam - In The City

Lead guitar lines: Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

Drums: Pedro The Lion - Magazine

Piano: R.E.M. - Shaking Through

I'm considering a few instrument-based mixes and was hoping you could help. Can be simple or complex - don't really care. Just looking for some indie tracks with 'killer riffage'.

Thanks!

i get drum patterns stuck in my head for weeks at a time. It's crazy because I usually won't even be able to figure out what it's from for a few hours. Right now it's "10 AM Automatic"

Easily qualifies for bass as well, and vox.
