best alternative band

I wouldn't say they were the "best", but Wilco and Belle and Sebastian are my favourites.

 

Have anyone ever listened to jackie-o-motherfucker?
That's a great tripping band.

 

What was that band from the sixties with Ringo Harrison and George Starr in it? They were good.

 

Lambchop, cant get more chilled out..

 

alice in chains is my absolute favorite.
red hot chili peppers
fugazi

 

I think that was The Monkeys.

 

Radiohead.... duh <3
Coheed and Cambria
Alkaline Trio

 

Bajinda Behind the Enemy Lines.

 

I agree with this question. This is sort of a vague question. Everyone's idea of 'alternative' is different so it's hard to pick the best band of a genre that isn't clearly defined.

 

I'd define alternative as anything not mainstream.. stuff you don't typically hear on the radio. The beatles? not alternative, The Killers, not alternative.. coheed and cambria... alternative

I don't know if that definition is true or false but it's the one I made up lol

 

my favorite is The Velvet Underground.
Peace & Love

 

third eye blind. hands down.

 

It can range from Sonic Youth to Helmet, depending on what your definition of Alternative Music is. I also like the Cure and Siouxsie & the Banshees as well.

 

I like Sonic Youth, Helmet, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and the Cure. It depends on what you mean by alternative music.

 

Last week I listened to Serena Maneesh for the 1st time - they're great!!!

 

Nirvana of course.

 

marcy playground

 

Nirvana, they were influenced by all things alternative as well as mainstream and combined the best of each genre imo

 

nirvana is good

 

The Maine! They have a new album coming out, with two songs already released!
