Top 20 - Alternative Rock Songs

[Happymealify]

You have franz ferdinand and the shins, but not Modest Mouse? Come on.

[vornicu1000]

who are this guys dude?????

[Dividing9]

Should have named it Top 20 British-accented bands and a few Americans. I've never hated a top 20-100 list before and never will but this list isn't far off with it's excess of annoying British boy bands.

Seriously dude, where the hell is Coldplay atleast?, they may be popular but you do not get alot of music like Coldplay's alternative rock.

[shoegazer303]

I appropriate this list has perished, besides that everyone gets what his opinion is better, I like most of what is mentioned here, especially what is and sounds British, American rock ever since I was seemed pretentious!! Good For The Smiths, Kasabian, Blur, Radiohead!!!

[shoegazer303]

Me Ha Perecido adecuada esta lista, ademas de k cada kien pone lok a su parecer es mejor, a mi me gusta la mayoria de lok aki se menciona, sobretodo lok es y suene Británico, pues siempre el rock americano me ha parecido pretensioso a mas no poder!! bien por THE SMITHS, KASABIAN, BLUR, RADIOHEAD (NO RAFIOHEAD!!)

[filixlan]

ARCTIC!!!!

[marveldarknight]

pandora incubus.......game on.............

[yukerd]

o cara misturou strokes com smiths e com radiohead... está defecando pela boca!

[hardy4manson]

where's manson?

[tomorrowneverknows94]

this is actually a pretty solid list.

[Riky94asr]

Excellent but...Muse? Songs like Space Dementia or Citizen Erased deserves a mention....

[michiel2288]

try to find a good version of Number 13, you won't gonna find it...

[greynhazy1]

Great choices. EVERYONE please check out my channel, I do original altern. rock and covers. The violet cover seems to be the most popular, but check out my original stuff as well. Please I need the feedback. Thanks!

[cureme07]

This list is simply AMAZING

[blasuu]

20 to nie jest alternatywny rok sory, 19 tez nie a reszty nie chce mi sie sluchac ale pewnie tez nie

[itsossian]

Paranoid Android <3

[Ionlyloverock]

you really like brit pop dont you

[NicoPractice]

heart in a cage only 19th with all the shit in this list ???????

[wilhemheider]

??????

alternative?????

[vanacdc132]

i like this list just cuz i love the strokes :)

[MindGem2010]

i love it ! great ! there is the strokes and arctic monkeys on the list :D

[indiebitchh]

its not horrible, its just indie not rock:L

[drbennett21]

A chick must of made this list.

[byncla]

its weird. i have NEVER heard ANY of these songs

[xaerante]

@byncla That's because it's indie... But they're pretty famous songs...

[llewdebkram]

@byncla

If you haven't heard paranoid android you haven't discovered real music yet!

[flame0154]

Paranoid Android YES, the artists chosen YES, some of the song choices a bit iffy though

[portnjazhka]

ooh la??? god...

[TheDarkelmo96]

This is all indie lol

[taylorsunshine445]

only good ones were soundgarden and radio head..... maybe cold war kids

[xRedRedRosesx]

Ooh La <3

[cutegirlkami96]

This is indie.

[emavalens24]

@cutegirlkami96 I agree

that is not alternative rock

[sd753]

how do u listen to dis crap!? sorry man

[DanieLatzanich]

HOly crap this is terrible-except for the radiohead, interpol, shins, and white stripes references- it's missing so much

Pixies, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr., Queens of the Stone Age, BECK...it's not even funny

[spo0o0ky]

I don't understand where all the hate is coming from. I quite like a lot of the artists on this list...with the exception of The Kooks.

[TheIrina1998]

what is at number 19?:))) i cant see:))))

[nguyenbrandon69]

@TheIrina1998 the strokes - heart in a cage

[TheIrina1998]

@nguyenbrandon69 thx:)



[Flippaarn]

you missed Pj Harvey and Nick Cave

[MisterBigJones]

Reflects ultra mainstream artists mainly....Nothing new, nothing to discover...More ORIGINALITY would have been welcomed...

[dumbbroadcasts]

this guy must be a real headbanger beacause all these songs reflect that

[pamela7773]

OOHHHH PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE...

[Xx3anna3xX]

the white stripesss <3

[MelvinWhitee]

ARCTIC MONKEYS !!!!

[krestshinable]

indie rock.



[shitfuckinhappens]

Seriously? No Pixies? God, I HATE YOU!!!!!

[00Iosys00]

in 2011 this is a elite music

[NoProblemIdir]

Damn i hope all these bands are not gonna become really famous, it's gonna ruin them. ) Want to keep them for myself.

[Whyyousuchadumbbutt]

@NoProblemIdir

They are famous haha wow

[NoProblemIdir]

@Whyyousuchadumbbutt

Maybe they are, but not in the way those american pop singers are. Try walking up to a random guy ( or girl) on the street and asking them: Hey do u know who Ferdinand is or The Strokes. I bet its a noooooo. Just saying...

[Equilombo]

we all know this bands, post something different :S

[9enigma6]

Finally a good list!! I hate that comercial sht that they call "alternative music".

I know all the bands but thom yorke, i'll check it out.

If i can recommend u (lector) more alternative artist, try Sisters of Mercy, The Vines, Zoot Woman, Levellers, Bloc Party...

[aijunk2]

In description, "Rafiohead". No wonder this is such a horrible list, you can't even spell the bands name. R A D I O H E A D.

[djranslam]

Most of these picks don't make any sense. Where are Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, the Pixies, Foo Fighters, or Weezer?

[Richietaiwan]

complete shite!



[koosmangat]

should be song 2 for blur

... oh and you forgot OASIS... that wonderwall gotta be up

[SlimXals]

▂▃ SUB ➍ SUB ▃▂

▂▃ SUB ➍ SUB ▃▂

▂▃ SUB ➍ SUB ▃▂

[HypsterBitch]

When you leave out Sonic Youth, you know it's a bad list.

[fedecobain89]

Good song's, but... Parece una "Indy List"... no "Alternative List"... I love Radiohead, but, Where is Nirvana?

[9enigma6]

@fedecobain89

Nirvana is grunge... indi sí puede ser, ya que el indie se deriva un poco del alternativo. Muchos artistas alternativos tienen canciones indie y viceversa (generalmente los de rock).

Alternative & Progresive music OWNS. Check Porcupine Tree, Anathema, Ben Folds, Kwoon, Björk is also great.

[CloudStrife242]

Good list, check out my video and let me know what you guys think

[DillaryHuff]

I like a lot of these bands, but the tracklist seems really random. Thom Yorke - Harrodown Hill, for instance - Brilliant artist, but the song was not even one of the top hits on it's respective album.

[moviemaker0304]

blur... alternative?

[rogeatf]

What a horrible list

[spo0o0ky]

Great selection of bands there. You know your shit.

[vsatnet]

AMORIC ?

[MindGem2010]

its okay if there is the strokes in the list <3

[texasrockem]

I get it... This is a joke, hehehe,... right?

[madlyS]

Alternative???

[sideburnstijger]

This list is simply HORRIBLE

[Amigozancho]

@sideburnstijger are you kidding?

[sideburnstijger]

@Amigozancho No. You?

[UnboliveFirts1]

In your "simple" opinion.

[AMARKLUNA]

@sideburnstijger  ass hole

[sideburnstijger]

@AMARKLUNA at least I'm educated. I didn't insult you. I just gave my opinion.

[numstuck]

@sideburnstijger i think its quite good

[limafilho27]

what the F? Fix the 'song list' where it is written 'RAFIOHEAD'. pls. I get it: letter 'f' is right next to 'd' on the keyboard... But let`s respect the #1, for crying out loud.

[GreenCastro21]

Muse is shit ...

[HeshamRabeey]

@arielr I said sorry i didn't read the title.... asshole

[ImMadeinNZ]

Great selection of songs there. I like it.

[HeshamRabeey]

@MEYERS3000 sorry guys

i thought it was just ROCK songs

[kreeepyy]

No Nirvana? Fail.

[HeshamRabeey]

nothing for Led Zeppelin

then u understand nothing

[someone6878]

@HeshamRabeey u obviously didnt read the title

[MEYERS3000]

@HeshamRabeey You sir are the one that understands nothing. Zeppelin isn't alternative

[arielr]

@HeshamRabeey Are you nuts? Led? Alternative?

[GlennWilsonMusic]

Why isn't Glenn Wilson's song "nero" on here????

[SinnersFall]

good video. thx!

like most Special needs by Placebo

radiohead is also great.

the white stripes should be "ther hardest button to button" (great song!)

[UTubist512]

Great choice with the Smith's "Stop Me..."

[TheBhje]

they sound the same

[Chaotic159]

@TheBhje saying tht is the same as being racist :D

[TheBhje]

@Chaotic159 i can tell was that sarcasm lol

[lpapa2]

youtube.com/watch?v=i00t57hXsW­s

[MrRockstarter14]

I have to definitely disagree, sorry amigo

[damnyourpasswords]

why did you have to fade the music of each song?

[Noosaguanto]

This a modern multicorporativeIndiepop list, is not an alternative rock song list ...

The only rock or alternative real good band of the list is Soundgarden but Soundgarden is not exaclty an alternative band . Then, this list is a very real shit ... Grettings from Madrid ( Spain )

[ruslanaldon88]

As I noticed the most of the songs here are british?!

[danai000]

[chiken420]

Jet? The Vines? REM? Dinosaur Jr? Pavement? The Pixies? Sonic Youth? The Velvet Underground??

Its still a solid list though!

[MrTeeTow]

This Is INDIE ROCK.!

[shinshampoo]

Thanks for sharing!

[TheKontosuburbian]

Your list is near-perfect. I wouldn't put Phantom Limb, I'd put New Slang instead :)

[wilberttraas]

[TheDimebagg]

[monsternrgy]

[claugoz]

como se llama una cancion de los 90s rock ke solo le entiendo ke dice wuuuuuju y la musica bien fuerte y otra vez wuuuju son puros chavos

[kiramorenaa]

@claugoz Blur - Song 2:)

[oscartec1c]

sory, but alternative rock is not the same as indi rock

[greeceking88]

Interpol - Slow hands is #1

FUCK THE REST!!!

INTERPOL is the greatest alternative-/ indie-rockband on the PLANET!!

Greetings to all INTERPOL fans!

Cheers. :)

[lordofrapture]

paranoid android is a masterpiece

[TheTheAndreiasantos]

I don't like this kind of music...

[sexyEmma4u]

You forgot EARTH CULTURE!!!!

[NiiKCuTiiE20]

OMG!!! Finally someone is with me!!!! THE STROKES!!!!!!!!

[father042]

Franz and interpol is the best!

[bigdunk9]

No Smashing Pumpkins or Joy Division? Well hey, guess what people, this is their list! We all have different tastes. Paranoid Android is the number one alternative rock song of all time in my eyes too, popular opinion probably decides that.

[lordofrapture]

your absolutly right with joy division
