I have a couple of fresh ideas, but will anybody listen? I noticed that a company called Digital Eclipse handles a large amount of xbox live arcade games and emulations. If I have an emulation idea that will bring

It can be strange, or quirky, or dark, or profane(maybe?), or violent, or childish, or thought-provoking, or almost anything.
Indie development is about finding and pursuing your own passions for games. If you've always wanted to make a science fiction sports game with medieval themes, go for it. You don't even have to use Garage Games engine products.
Who knows if anyone will listen to your ideas. Starting and completing a couple of game projects will probably give you a bit more credibility, though.
The bottom line is this, make the game of your dreams (adjusted for budget, talent, skill, passion, hours-in-the-day, etc.) -- and make it fun. The rest will come much easier after that.
