30 Best Alternative rock bands/songs

[ShortCardinalsFan262]

I dont listen to these lists to see what this guy thinks about music, but to get ideas for my iPod. People that argue and complain about it are fucking fags.

[Stargate674]

what happened to the best alternative rock band "daughtry"? they are by FAR the best! check out my channel cuz I uploaded the songs from their new album and judge for yourself!

[nenythaz]

3 doors down the best !!!!

[nenythaz]

So many bands I didn't know ;) , thanks. 

[intheair73]

pretty good list just what about Panic! at the disco

[andreww1212]

Decent list although I would have preferred to see a lot more mid-to-late 90's stuff. Also to everyone saying "Panic At The Disco" just die please.

[RochiiCrunch]

Where the hell is Paramore, Panic! At the disco, ARCTIC MONKEYS!!!!!!!!?

And.. Most important where is NIRVANA!???

[leo9291]

@RochiiCrunch ??? ok yeah you are right about Nirvana but Paramore??Artic Monkeys??

those bands are pure pieces of shit man!! fuck!!!!!

[19KISStheSKY97]

@RochiiCrunch Paramore suck so bad. Panic! At the disco, aren't alt rock. Arctic Monkeys are more Garage revival and Britpop. and he said he's not including grunge....

[1thabigstew]

3 doors down what!!

[SuperNeonpie]

Where the hell is Panic! At the Disco?!

[ktsunshine33]

I agree with every band, but Creed. You also forgot A7X! 0-0.....SHAME!

[MsKyler240]

this video is epic. NICKLEBACK SUCKS!

[xxBloodyKatxx]

Those who complain:Go make your own list

[Skullcracken]

[smp336]

[Gryffnaaa]

[mRt9922]

Muse, Radiohead and Coldplay are probably the biggest alternative rock bands in the world now and they aren't included???

[Happymealify]

You forgot evanecense? Heck. They couldnt even make it on a best of metal list

[bimster20b]

wheres chevelle?

[SoPlEoReD]

Why don't you people just cut the man some slack? This is a list of HIS favorites, not yours, if you want a list of YOUR favorite songs then make it yourself and stop looking for one.

[aiden858]

breaking benjamin + three days grace & puddle of mud , seether the best on the list

[pillowsinmypants]

[MegaPatkiller]

Great songs and bands man. I listen to motown, oldies rock n' roll, classic rock, hard rock, punk rock, hardcore punk, rock, hair metal, heavy metal, deathmetal, grunge, post grunge, and alt rock. My favorite is 90's and early 00's post grunge and alt rock. Basically your list. Awsome choices man.

[dobebs]

You Can't Kill HEAVY METAL.

You Can't Kill ALTERNATIVE ROCK.

[Top15MusicVideo]

mierda de video

[brigiish]

breaking benjamin ♥♥♥♥

[Kmaster495]

IMO Breaking Benjamin and 3DG are more mainstream than alternative(yes, they do have post grunge roots). Anyway, great list.

[TheDezzyBabe]

I love this.. this is what i was looking for.. i needed new music thatnk u

[deeegol]

I love majority of your choices, I grew up listening to them, and it's so genius of you to have included the year - adds to the nostalgia -cool cool - thanks!

[MegaGoodoldtimes]

Bullshit list

[TheBravo47]

anyone havin problems fuck urselves and make ur own videos

[ThisMemory]

Great taste in music ;) search: "100 rock artists" it's got similar bands as you :)

[newmusicbliss11]

IF YOU LIKE ALTERNATIVE ROCK CHECK US OUT IF GOT THE TIME & LEAVE FEEDBACK GOOD OR BAD I LIKE TO HEAR REAL OPINIONS.

[HellTheSequelEP]

Breaking Benjamin And 3DG Are The Best Stop Witting Stupid Comments Like NICKELBACK

I Mean COmooooo Have You HEard BB Or 3DG ???

Hear Them First Then Talk

[frkunex23]

WHERE THE HELL IS BIFFY CLYRO !!

[AnoukMeAnouk]

love the goo goo dolls know Iris by heart

[DOZGraff]

therunninglights(dot)bandcamp(­dot)com check them out, they are really good.

[arrrn70]

The Verve Pipe: The Freshmen, could have been included.

[19KISStheSKY97]

Shittest list ever. Learn what alternative rock is before making a video like this. Firstly, how can you forget Radiohead? One of the most famous Alt Rock bands ever. And for Nickleback to get in but Pixies and Janes Addiction not, is just....there isn't even a word to describe how wrong that is.

[Lamefunday]

@19KISStheSKY97 No point in saying that, it seems that people here like Breaking benjamin, Nickleback,Seether, and all those shitty bands infuenced by the 90's grunge, well anyways props to billabongs for taking his time in makng this video.

[criszilla100]

@19KISStheSKY97 its just his opinion leave him alone bro

[19KISStheSKY97]

@criszilla100 No, it's just because he hasn't looked far enough into ward real alternative rock is.

[criszilla100]

@19KISStheSKY97 well i liked some of his songs just be a little less harsh

[Lindseylovesearth]

@19KISStheSKY97 then make your own damn list. get off his/her ass.

[milisav]

@19KISStheSKY97 dude and what if there aren't those bands you listed ? did you even bother to read his description ? and also this is a fan made list what do you expect ? this is probably not based on a throughout study/research so i think that you should restrain yourself from bashing this vid. I personally don't like some of the bands he mentioned here either... grow up

[GOHABSGO125]

@19KISStheSKY97 alternative bands?? then when the hell is nirvana,!!! this list isnt all wrong but not including pixies and nirvama is a sin!!!

[19KISStheSKY97]

@GOHABSGO125 Well he said in the comments why he didn't include grunge. It didn't really make sense though, and grunge is still alt rock. I know right:L

[natedawwg1]

@19KISStheSKY97 YOU SEEM FURIOUS BRAH. People make mistakes, no need to be a cuntwaffle about it.

[Skullcracken]

@19KISStheSKY97 AMEN!!! I don't think I'd have put any of those songs on a top alt list except Cranberries (I like Silverchair but they were more grunge)... I think we have the same flavor - how about Toadies - Possom Kingdom, Ours - Sometimes, Everclear - Santa Monica, Spacehog - In the Meantime, Cold - No one, Stabbing Westward - Shame, God Lives Underwater - All Wrong, Days of the New - Touch, Peel and Stand, Blur - Song 2 etc. Where's Tonic, Weezer, STP?

[19KISStheSKY97]

@Skullcracken Nah I wouldn't of either. Well the odd one, like R.E.M. Although there not my favourite, you can't really deny their importance towards alt rock. Well I try not to stick to one genre. I like anything from Otis Redding and Ray Charles (R&B Soul), to Beastie Boys (Real Hip Hop), to Bad Brains (hardcore punk) to Hives (garage revival), Queens of the stone age (dessert), but I only really know Blur and Weezer, and Stone Temple Pilots off that list. But I know what you mean

[ShortCardinalsFan262]

@19KISStheSKY97 Boo-Hoo. Nobody cares

[Mimasfriend]

Needs Chevelle and Blue October

[Kvalle1130]

FOO FIGHTERS!!

[SLITHERMAN54]

Thats right yoda like bar

[drjamyma]

i left this on in the background, and when californication came on, it was like jumping in a pool after walking on hot coals. then creed came on...

[FiftyPoet]

Were was Rise Against?

[MetalDragonX694]

@FiftyPoet Rise Against is More Punk than Alternative rock.

[DemmiXxX]

this video is too good! I downloaded all these songs to my phoneeee :P 

[paradox4051]

badass video agreed on most of them

[11xzxzxz]

Too bad because the best alternative bands were before 1990. But a pretty good listen anyway.

[yamiyumi100]

3 DAYS GRACE .

[jonaxboss]

NIRVANA THE BAND OF A GENERATION WHERE IS IT????!!! O.o

[crys23drumboy]

@jonaxboss nirvana ain't alternative.at least I don't think it is.

[MetalDragonX694]

@crys23drumboy I agree. Grungs music leads more to hard rock than alternative rock.

[rezvaldinho]

Where is NIRVANA ???

[92worldtraveler]

[Albano2706]

What is that Foo fighters song?

[Cobyt501st]

@Albano2706 the pretender

[DieFliegendeGurke]

@AwesomeVivian i'm so jelous of your name, my name's also vivian ..hehe

[AwesomeVivian]

what about Muse?

[aMUSEd12Rp]

@AwesomeVivian I was going to say that :) Muse and Linkin Park are missing, apart from that it's great :)

[vgmaster9]

Alternative Rock is the Psychedelic Rock of this generation.

[fuedue]

You forgot linkin park

[Piitschii]

@fuedue you're right, once upon a time they were a great alternative rock band... loong loong ago... :(

[saudi724]

thrre dayes is kool

[visledisle]

Thumbs Up, if you didn't saw the whole thing.

[dkang57]

Incubus, Smashing pumpkins, Radiohead live in my ears forever and until today.

[aliancemd]

Creed too, and a few more :)

[aliancemd]

Very good, a lot of bands that I have in my music collection, and some new which I will check :)

My not full selection of bands/singers(a few more in here): 3 Doors Down | 10 Years | 12 Stones | 30 Seconds to Mars | Avril Lavigne | Breaking Benjamin | Coldplay | Chris Daughtry | Dido | Incubus(rarely) | Lifehouse | Limp Bizkit(rarely listening now) | Maroon 5 | Nickelback | One Republic | Red Hot Chili Pepper | Seether | Staind(I have 1 song: Believe) | Switchfoot | The Fray | Three Days Grace

[XChronicHash]

@aliancemd daughtry sucks donkey dick

[aliancemd]

@XChronicHash I see that you just shine of smartness

[murobrian07]

No Alter Bridge... This is a dislike

[Jazzydinosaur]

What font did you use? I'm doing an alt. rock powerpoint and it would be awesome to know!

[Maple2225]

Goo Goo Dolls! i love that song XD.

[TheVikingDoctor]

Smashing Pumpkins? Really? Try to sing while taking a very painful shit... you will sound just like their singer.

[waisehell]

now I've got to kill you...where's Muse and Red??????

[TheEpictoadjourney]

jesus! all these bands are soooooooo fucking mainstream! why is it even called alternative???..... i need to get the fuck outta here and find some PUNK ROCK

[eMoLoV34eVa]

@TheEpictoadjourney No, the songs are. They have 1, maybe 2 hits that go on the radio each. No one pays attention to their other stuff...'cept Seether, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.

[FatLikeAG6]

@TheEpictoadjourney linkin park, which is probably the most mainstream and famous rock band of this decade is classified alternative also. FYI alternative rock went mainstream in the 90s after nirvana's smells like teen spirit. And punk rock bands like greenday and blink182 are mainstream too...

[thehiran007]

wheres muse???????

[Katkazavrrr]

NO MUSE????????????? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[p3akZ]

nickelback LOL

[p3akZ]

no muse no rise against WTF

[YuvalZakOL]

great music.

[rhodrage]

I agree with at least 4 of these bands, where do you rate the Manics?

[vusalhuse]

dude, great taste there. keep up the good work please.

[TheSeeWeed]

To all the people saying "WTF NO (Name of band here)." Look at the video upload date. not to mention most of these are when alt rock was in its prime.

[RKigamer]

WTF NO RISE AGAINST

[RKigamer]

some are pretty bad

[simospeace]

Eh...No MUSE ?

[systemofanup77]

Great lineup, only fault was Nickelback...

[rockmcalister]

nice compilation. I recommend Rock.fm Radio for really good alternative rock!

[takq125]

I almost agree.good songs

[alsoknownas1000]

awsome !!!

[alsoknownas1000]

w0w this is the best !!!

[MaherLeary]

back when I considered the chili peppers to be alternative lol

[MaherLeary]

@MaherLeary dont get me wrong though, I still love the chili peppers, I just view them differently.

[42charlies42]

3doors down :)

[shinsplints101]

Creed, Nickelback, Lifehouse, POM, are absolute jokes of a band.

I dont get how you can like those bands yet like smashing pumpkins totally different. Anyway each to their own ... you freak ... just kidding ;)

[MauroSonhador]

Very good list, my friend! Can you make : best "Classic Rock" Bands?

[LadyWhoLikesCheese]

Really though, i really love basically every song on here! all these bands are amazing. Great taste in music, a lot of it is stuff i grew up listening to. Ahh, gotta love 90's music and early 2000 alternative. I totally added this to my favorites to remind me of some of those amazing bands that i forgot about.

[LadyWhoLikesCheese]

I happen to think that the uploader chose some amazing songs, so everybody stop your whining! Lol for realz.

[Neighbor2Kill]

People stop naming different bands and shit because this is not your compilation. If you dont think these are the 30 best then go make your own and stop criticizing.

[kooldude09]

whewr the hell is rise against wtff

[kooldude09]

whewr the hell is rise against

[TheWandarin]

alternative rock really is relaxing

[simonpeterhutchinson]

I love these compilations always pick up new/old bands i would otherwize never have heard of.

[247chefboy]

@simonpeterhutchinson its so truee

[kojo1324]

@simonpeterhutchinson check out this band,

UncannyRock at facebook.com/

[fanofeveritingdatRoX]

oh yeah. REM and three days grace for the win :)

[wesleyco09]

onthing wrong with stating my own opinion and my opinion is that nada surf was the only good band on here. i was highly disappointed. all mainstream...not alternative at all
