if you haven't already....these are essential



TSOL's first EP is one of the best examples of early American hardcore....direct, fast, angry


Social Unrest is a lesser known and really underrated Bay Area band from the late 70s and early 80s...I really don't think much sounded like this before this band....this EP came out in 82 and its fucking still incredible


Listening to this right now and i want to punch the walls....the drumming alone is phenomenal but just the overall feel of this EP as a whole is amazing


Hardcore even showed up in fucked up western redneck towns like Reno, NV....and its some of the best out there


Fang is one of the best things to come out of Berkley....this gutter junkie misanthropy at its best....nothing political here....just pure hate for humanity


Lullaby is easily within my top 3 all time best punk songs...

Thanks I thought of doing one for straight up alternative music, but my career keeps me to busy and I'm not much of an industrialized music expert, Janszoon territory.

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 say follow your punk/hardcore thread formula....you had several bands in there that I would not call punk....including your #1

Ie....what does William consider left of the mainstream

What! you don't think Limp Bizkit is a punk band!?! Lol, Paul Seemus's reaction to that was classic, he bought it in full.

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.
