I just think if you are going to make a thread like this at least leave out the more well known people for once & actually have someone who has recorded albums for independent labels.


This argument is dumb, but yeah i'd say bob dylan is alt. I mean, he was original, no one had his sound, today too many people aren't jacking it so, I'd give him alt status.

Ill say Tom Waits. He lords over the indie world like grizzled old grandfather who can still kick all his kids asses.
