That is really good insight and description wisdom. Midnight Oil and REMs music definitely contains more substance. I actually like Crowded House better than Midnight Oil, but they are a good band. Tears For Fears was always a favorite band of mine, with a similar Alternative style. The Cure would be a possible example of a more passionate sounding band. Thats what I like about The Cult. Their music is very similar to these bands concerning style, but Ian Astbury's vocals are much more "Intense" which for me personally (provides a better Adrenaline Rush).

I always personally thought the band "Live" was a very professional band, especially (playing) LIVE. Are you familiar with they're music Starrynight? They didn't have a lot of success when compared with longevity and success most other Alternative Rock bands in the 90s. But I always thought that they were very talented. Especially as a Live band.

I hold an unpopular opinion, that the band "U2" is one of the "Core" Alternative Rock bands of this particular style.
