Subject: Which defence to 1.d4 is easy to learn, solid, with winning chances?

I have been studying the Dragon Sicilian as a defence to King pawn openings.  I
have also dabbled in the Najdorf when I want to play it a little safer.  I have
no idea where to start with a defence to d4?  I have little experience with
queen pawn openings since I always play e4 as white.  I have read that the Nimzo
Indian is a great defence but is it too hard to master?  It seems that if you
play the Nimzo you also have to play the Queen's Indian or Bogo Indian.  I also
looked into trying the Tarrash but the isolated queen pawn scares me.  I am
extremely confused in what defence I should learn against d4, please help.
