Two Words:
"The Rugburns"
The best band no one has ever heard of. Too bad they broke up. But, they have 2 full length albums and a EP out. Find them, listen to them, worship them.

I don't know if Lizzy Borden would count as indie, but they rule.

Liz Phair screws up a lot of soundtracks.

The two that instantly came to my head were:
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy with her horrible song "Six Dick Pimp". If I could erase songs from commercially released CDs, this track would get lost faster than the Kids in the Hall sequel. (Okay, the song "Birthday Cake " from Cibo Matto was actually worse)
And the other was the song "Rocket Boy" from some soundtrack. Someone I knew really liked the song and would play and sing it endlessly. Wow... that was awhile ago...
And looking through iTunes right now, I had "California" from my bootleg "Chasing Amy" soundtrack. Also, not one of my favorite songs.
But Phair's had a couple of songs I've liked, so I try not to hate her just because some soundtrack producer has terrible taste. 
EDIT: "Rocket Boy" was on "Stealing Beauty". All three were released around 1996.

Also, Liz Phair isn't really indie anymore. She sold out a couple of years ago with that song "Extraordinary" that played on nearly every female sport (see: WNBA) commercial around.

More like Liz UN-Phair!
I'm sorry, that was terrible. She was OK on "I Love The 70s"

That was her retirement album... some radio personality happened to play her song, and it caught on... what a bitch! (sarcasm)
