best alternative band

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

No, it's actually Nickelback. Man are they good. They have actually cornered the market on boring music... it's like no one could ever possibly get more predictable or banal if they tried. I know I couldn't.

If you don't think it's possible, I dare anyone to try picking up a guitar, choosing a random Nickelback song, and writing a song that's even more boring.

I love boring music that is always on the radio, is full of total third rate fake Pearl Jam wannabe grunge posers with stupid goatees and is surely but slowly contributing to the death of creativity and originality everywhere.

 

The best and only correct answer to this thread. They kind of shook that alternative label off at the beginning of the century too.

 

What an impossible question! I couldn't fathom an answer to this, tbh.

 

Agree with Pearl Jam, Eddie rocks! And Tori Amos also. Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but I rather like their older albums.

I heard, or my friend told me about them.
The album Ballads of the Revolution is magic. You´re right about the tripping. :dizzy2:

 

I love Siouxsie and The Cure. Robert Smith is a genius. eace:

 

Pearl Jam is one of the best bands of all time IMO. I love how Eddie Vedder puts so much emotion into the music. Just Breathe is a great song.

 

PIXIES !!!

Also Sonic Youth,Velvet Underground,Mazzy Star,Husker Du,Nirvana,My Bloody Valentine,Galaxie 500,Big Black,(early)REM,Breeders...are Stooges considered alternative?

 

I don't even think alternative really exists as a type of music anymore.

 

You can never go too far wrong with a bit of Oceansize
