[WarmothGuitarist]

How can you have a list this gay...and not include Nickelback?

[Ov3rturn]

@WarmothGuitarist fuck off please

[MasterJimJim]

@WarmothGuitarist Nickleback has ONLY 1 good song, and that is How You remind Me, Other than that, there music is just generic.

[doomsaer]

should change name of video to "pop rock and nu-radio rock" with a splash of random genres. and a few 90's bands

[Oface9701]

Lots of good songs but too much pop crap. Alice in chains, pearl jam, tool,nirvana,korn,deftones,I could keep going but respectable work.

[thatoneguy1431234]

@AlterBridge4ever01 Wow, took you about a month to think of that. Lol.

[Jahnke311]

Top Alt bands of all time and no 311? Yet Creed is on here? Happy to say they kicked his ass. Don't get me wrong some of the songs are here are great, but most of this list is not alt rock.

[guitarvortex11]

Sorry to tell you, but most of these bands aren't alternative.

[DragginYouDownWithMe]

ANBERLIN!!!!

[xcarolax1]

Omygod, seriously all of these songs are already on my memory card! My chemical romance(L)

[everyonegetzlaid]

List fail

[josephroy0204]

Ok this is based on your taste. I like some of the bands, other not so much. Most of them are mainstream alt rock/metal and the not so heard bands are not in the list like blacks keys, the killers, kings of leon and arcade fire. They also got great songs for my opinion.

[thatoneguy1431234]

thr first song sucked but the rest is good

[AlterBridge4ever01]

@thatoneguy1431234 You're retarded...

[Nonormalo97]

i love My Chemical Romance, Nirvana and oasis! Best Bands ever!

[Deltaxify]

let me add Striogram :D

[Neighbor2Kill]

Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Foo Fighters, Fuel, Crawling, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mudd...amazing list

[d3d26]

Metallica is Alternative?

I though they were....well.....Metal?

[Brighit2406]

[brytsyd11]

Starlight - MUSE  C=

[xMojoflow]

[felicia8086]

Wow..i am loving this mix...i am glad u add in our lady peace...there are one of a very talented band..

[SpongebobsABoss]

Metallica is anything but alternative, and that song was one of a kind for them. But still a good list. heard all of these a billion times!

[an25kr]

I think this is the best playlist at youtube because you've got coldplay, foo fighters, the cranberries, green day, LINKIN PARK, nirvana, oasis, muse, anberlin...

[yahooman246]

great song picks

[ItsFlaRafinhaa]

Coldplay <3

[Danitzarh]

Genial, me gustaron mucho las canciones. Algunas no las conocía.

[online360gaming]

[Deathroach22]

[oNitroh]

@Deathroach22 Rise is punk rock, not really alternative.

[xXBaxterfishXx]

do you even know what alternative is?

[Royhill23]

MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poptart2345]

@Royhill23 I LOVE muse

[Royhill23]

@poptart2345 Who DOESN'T love Muse! :D, in my opinion Muse is the best band in the whole world.

[poptart2345]

@Royhill23 Muse RULES!

1. Muse

2. My Chemical Romance

3. Metallica

[poptart2345]

@Royhill23

[17acoronado]

Metallica Alternative?

[RATMfan92]

40 bands and no 311? Well so few people know about them.

They're my fav alt. rock band of all time. Everyone with an open mind for music should check them out ;)

There's still many of my favorites included: Foo Fighters, Incubus (!), Linkin Park, Nirvana, Puddle of Mudd, RHCP.

[overblownchris]

hi guys, if your into hard rock with a funky/grungy and alsorts feel to it, then check out black river, its not easy to find on youtube, but you could try searching for black river-backtrack, as apparently i cant post a link on here! or black river-dejavu

were a new band and would be very grateful if you had a listen to us :)

thats one of three songs, and three of many more to come.

we hope you enjoy listening to us if you choose to :)

thanks for your time guys!

John-Black River

[jesusurb]

THE BEST IS "LIKE STONE" AUDIOSLAVE. IN MY PLACE- COLDPLAY

[ososly]

I only heard 5 alt, or pop alt bands, 35 cookie cutter crap-rock songs. I'm impressed though most of these lists, don't have any alt songs. OH! METTALICA sellouts or not, cannot be in the same catagorie as any of these P>O>S> bands. Metal never dies!!!!!!!

[Luka14ish]

The smiths should be in the list and what about The Cure?

[quidzrock]

wat the?... linkin park, soad, pod, they were NU metal. not alternative!... my chemical romance, switchfoot were emo.

[BloodlyXloveXcat17]

@quidzrock Mcr is not emo just saying

[TheSecretLover31]

no linking park and paramore !!!

good list btw

[BETTYBOOP1709]

a gud playlist, all alt rock playlist needs linkin park tho

[Tinker2060]

alternative?...do me a favour mate..alternative soft rock?...ok, Muse super massive black hole, i will give you that one

[MDevguy]

I Metallica's Load and Reload would kinda be Alternative. After Muse it started getting to actual alternative. The bands are all good though.

[geek01243]

good songs but needs matt and kim

[DrDOdO5]

I was very glad when I saw "alphabetical order" :D

nice vid an d awesome songs!!

[NagasNagasNagas]

you have a great taste!

[sompra1000]

[thecoolhamster123]

What a coinky-dink.I just searched best metal songs,classic rock,rock,and now this and everyones hating on Beiber! I LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh and by the way I'm a teenage girl.I feel proud of myself for not falling for all that pop crap!!!!!!!!

[air03031989]

Talent is nothing without passion... Miss this band ---> "Alter bridge" :(

[lawker777]

Our Mission is to save our brothers from joining the darkside!!! Hideous Justin Bieber Songs!

[air03031989]

@lawker777 Yeah... I agree... What happened to the songs today? Bring out more bands like them... Autotuned Bieber's crap songs, Gaga's gaga personality... hahaizt...

[dunncatie]

First one I've seen with Tonic in the line up, AWESOME!!!

[VixenLaw]

Great list! Nice to see Alter Bridge on it; love that band! The black and whites of the bands really look cool; maybe stick with it for every band featured? Thx for vid!

[jayjaypen2]

What about The Smiths?

[trentonbigbud8]

Good Video!

[air03031989]

@trentonbigbud8 Yeah... Great video with a lot of great bands... "Talent is nothing without passion".. 

[tystewar]

[Amerexican]

mcr sux



[Jakecbj61]

MCR! Best band ever

[Blarg350]

@WoordWerks It's much better than the crap people are making these days.

[dikobrazful]

[alyal6969]

Ahhh memory's :) Thanks so much for this mate !

[96music4eva]

Green Day and Muse?!?!?! XP Sorry but I just don't like them! Love P. O. D. and Papa Roach. In my opinion, other than those two awesome list! X3

[OnlyInAMJVideo]

1:19 is my FAVE song. I love it so much. :D

[blindedby2monkeys]

little boy, you cant make a video titled blank blank of all time unless you are god and think your opinion is more important than others, the only way to name all these shitty videos should be "most bestests favorites evers"

[Deimante182]

I like it :)

[muselova94]

oh thank god you had muse in this... I would've cried...

[kellyandhershoes]

Hem hem 5:58 the song puddle of mud by BLUR...not fricking blurry. but nice vid, it reminded me of the roots, the songs i should be listening to not all of these new gay shit.

[Steynvdv]

wtf Coldplay!! i muted my giant speakers immediately..

cmon dude how can you put Coldplay and Evanescence in the same list..

Love that you put Papa Roach in there...

Rock on!--!, (just not with coldplay cuz they dont rock!)

[RylandSD101]

@Steynvdv kk shutup and ur talking like a fag becuase they r one of the best bands ever.

[Steynvdv]

@RylandSD101 your the only guy talking like a fag... i just posted my opinion.. you shut tf up.. either just give your opinion and go on with your day or fuck off....

If you think coldplay is an alternative/rock band than you dont even know what that means.. i didnt even say coldplay isnt a good band, i just said that they dont rock like an alternative band like evanescence does...

Did you take some instant angry asshole pills for breakfast or something.. relax a little dude...

[carrabec99]

dude metallica will never be alternative but due to your headline i will agree they are the best of any genere

[ares035]

WTF??? ARE YOU SIC?...WHERE IS TOOL,PEARL JAM,SMASHING PUMPKINGS,THERAPI,FAITH NO MORE...pffffff suck

[khenshaw6]

i love when im gone!

[yui27mike]
