Stereogum Readers Poll: Miss Indie Rock 2005

6:22 PM EST on December 22, 2005

The "indie rock hottie" poll took forever 'cause none of you spell the same way. And then I had to research who was in what band. So that's why I'm listing the ENTIRE tally before revealing who won. Plus, some of you were pretty explicit about Tegan NOT SARA and vice versa.

I took the liberty of disqualifying all the men you submitted (contrary to popular belief, Brandon Flowers and Carlos D are guys, as is Sam Beam, wiseasses)! I allowed Antony, though, 'cause he would want it that way. And he ranked pretty well!

Some of your comments were amusing...

"Amy Millan, oh my God, Amy Millan."

"That chick from Deerhoof, seriously."

"Kelly Clarkson, but remixed."

"Lady Sov...in about 8 more years."

"Trombone player for Architecture in Helsinki - the skinny one."

"Never sue the word hottie." (At least insult our poll with propper grammar!)

And some of your submissions were hilarious...

"Every girl on Cobrasnake and Last nights party"

"The girlfriend from Art Brut's 'Good Weekend'"

"Chick with the scarf on the cover of Cripple Crow"

"Girls in the American Apparel ads" (THIS GOT 5 VOTES!)

I didn't disqualify anyone else. If you think Bea Arthur was this year's hot indie chick ... well, OK. But those of you who picked Smoosh ... you realize they're like 13, right? Let's assume/hope the Dakota Fanning vote was a joke.
