I listen to a decent bit of alt rock, but I'm not a huge fan of using alternative as a genre description, so it wouldn't be up there anyway - everything seems to get lumped under that title. I do like some punk like Husker Du, Cro-Mags, Orchid, Converge, Public Image Ltd., Suicidal Tendencies, Minutemen etc. Favourite band is RHCP.

Touché, regarding the use of "alternative" as a genre label. Not because the word in itself is deficient as a means of description of a genre, but because for some odd reason, "alternative" is used more often than not to refer to the most MAINSTREAM rubbish that there is!
