I've been thinking about this but...I don't know, alternative isn't as cut and dry as say punk/hardcore, rap, metal ect.
I mean how would I figure out what genres to include. Obviously all the 80's goth/industrial/alternative stuff is in, & the 00's indie rock, but the 90's gets tricky. Do I include the Manchester scene, Stone Roses ect, bands like Soul Coughing or more groove orientated bands like the Fun Loving Criminals... and you do realize that I would have to subject myself to hours of the Cocteau Twins, |

I do think Nirvana was from the punk tree though, they weren't raging Mohawk Exploited punk rock, but they were definitely rooted in American punk. Nevermind is a hardcore album plain and simple. Allright well the dividing line is tricky, early U2 (War ect) is definitely alternative, they just happened to end up being the biggest band on the planet. Bands like the Police, and Duran Duran were pretty commercial from the get go so they're out. Blondie & the Talking Heads & all the initial New York bands would have to be in. The initial Manchester bands like the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays would be in, but Brit pop like Oasis and Blur would be out. Portishead, Massive Attack, different genre, out. There would be less new stuff this time round as I've hit the age where I really don't give a f)ck! I got into stuff like a Place to Bury Strangers a few years ago, but my Death Grips CD got used as highway frisbee about after one week or so. |
