I like that you have the album cover as your avatar, yet didn't mention Neutral Milk Hotel.
1985-90 was one of the most fertile time periods in the history of American indie. It's when the genre was essentially born, rising out of the ashes of hardcore which died, roughly, in 1985. But while the mainstream was pumping out tons of Motley Crue clones, the American underground was experienced its golden age (the "college rock" period).
You had classic punk bands form such as Dag Nasty, Mr T Experience, Jawbreaker, Bouncing Souls, Sunny Day Real Estate, the Promise Ring, Nation of Ulysses, Dance Hall Crashers, L7, Op Ivy, Bikini Kill, and of course, Fugazi.
Additionally, there was an explosion of college rock: Drivin N Cryin, Indigo Girls, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Rev. Horton Heat, King Missle, Screaming Trees, Breeders, Pixies, Sundays, Superchunk, Mudhoney, and the like.
And you even had Britpop such as Blur, Oasis, Stone Roses, Crowded House, and the Housemartins.
It was an awesome time for music. Just awesome.

I would have if I realized that they formed then. I just assumed they were after 1990, which I see on Wikipedia isn't the case.

Fugazi
