The top 10 greatest Alternative Rock bands

[THEWITCHERROCK]

WHERE IS RADIOHEAD???

[IxRyderxl]

People who argue over the internet, let alone youtube, are trolls.

[Amaragariss7D]

all i have to say is NO. wheres Cold? wheres Breaking Benjamin? where is Orgy? Stabbing Westward? 10 Years? Taproot? this list is pleh! lol

[Magicscream2]

This isn't really in order but my top ten alt/rock are like The Strokes Sonic Youth RHCP Nirvana The Meat Puppets Arctic Monkeys Radiohead Smashing Pumpkins The Stooges Vampire Weekend

[michiel2288]

I've should dislike your vid because rhcp is not one but six...

[billyesp1]

three days grace

[neverdreampeace]

:o?

[MrRockstarter14]

@jsm408 lol

[jsm408]

Muse isn't deserving of the top 100.

[poptart2345]

@jsm408 who really cares what you think?

[jsm408]

@poptart2345 Your mother does. She told me she was thinking of putting you up for adoption. Then she blew me. I came in her mouth. She swallowed it.

[poptart2345]

@jsm408 once again who cares what you think? that has NOTHING to do with the fact that you are a hopeless troll and won't answer my question truthfully

[jsm408]

@poptart2345 Apparently you believe your opinion is more important than everyone else. I feel sorry for you. As far as your question is concerned, it really doesn't matter because EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion. I am sorry if I insulted your favorite watered down Radiohead band. That's all.

[poptart2345]

@jsm408 first of all i never said MY opinion is better than everyone else's so you pulled that out of nowhere. Everyone IS entitled to their opinion but when they are just trolling along and insulting someone who is SO much cooler than them (in this case muse) no one really cares what they are saying they just say "here's a troll comment. HA! thumbs down: Plus Wheretf did someone come up with that muse is a ripoff of radiohead. seriously? they don't even sound similar. so f**k off. that's all.

[jsm408]

@poptart23 First of all asshole, I wasn't trolling. I found this link and decided to check it out. Its ok. Not great, but that's my opinion. When I saw people say that Muse, a band that rips off everyone from Radiohead to U2 to Queen, I decided to comment. Obviously you love them because you didn't attack the guy who said Pear Jam should be #1. Seems like YOU are the one trolling! Go back to listening to your little teenybopper band and GO FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE!! That's all.

[poptart2345]

@jsm408 oit's obvious from your attitudde that you are the one trolling. that is all. good night.

[yankeex1314]

your 10-7 is trash. RHCP needs to move up, a shit load, and R.E.M and the Pixies need to drop a shit load. Pearl Jam does too. Nirvana's iffy in the 1 slot, but where the hell's Tool? But thank God that you didn't have Muse up there. Muse is for pussies.

[sneakydogz1]

What was the Velvet Underground song?

[ThePaulieb]

Soundgarden+rhcp+pearl jam+nirvana+rem=WONDERFUL VIDEO

[denskosnorebandit]

@Starship814 pssh more like a faggot to remember

[illusiveSpin]

Radiohead anyone?

[spo0o0ky]

This man knows his shit. This is REAL alternative rock, folks.

[MrRockstarter14]

@kives1985 lol

[kives1985]

The pixies are my favorite alternative rock band.

<3 <3 <3

Only like the Rolling Stones better actually.

[ColorMeStupidxx]

OH THANK GOD SOMEONE HAS NIRVANA. but you also need green day. then i will be happy.

[Peeta1239]

Honestly man you r missing some great bands, but at least you included the velvet underground and nirvana. I agree with the other commenters WHERE IS MUSE???

[HasakiOrame]

bull shit

[GAdawgsfan93]

The list is good, but there are just so many other great bands that could be in there for a short list. If u include Soundgarden and Nirvana, wat about Alice In Chains?

[iluvlost09]

LOL at these comments. Except for those who said Muse sucks; you're gonna get shot.

[poptart2345]

@iluvlost09 i wish i could give you 1000000 thumbs up by i can only give one :(

[Tubcityify]

nirvana is gay

[AttiiCom]

A couple of bands in your list aren't "Alternative". Such as Nirvana and Soundgarden. They are grunge.

[MrRockstarter14]

Hell no, my top ten list should be more like:

Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, Green Day, Sick Puppies, Bullet for my Valentine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 30 seconds to mars, and Muse

[kives1985]

@MrRockstarter14

Your top ten is the most horrific top ten that anyone could think of. Is you trolling?

[birilman]

@MrRockstarter14 dude u rock

[Petrock508]

@MrRockstarter14 I like some of those bands but who can stand the whiny childish faggorts who are greenday. Greenday and R.E.M. No comparison

[NunexxShadowZ]

@MrRockstarter14 Green Day is pure POP, Pearl Jam anyone?

[greendaykicksass1101]

@NunexxShadowZ green day isnt fucking pop bitch

[NunexxShadowZ]

@greendaykicksass1101 1, 21 Guns, that's fucking rock, punk.....not!

[greendaykicksass1101]

@NunexxShadowZ dude, do you even know what punk means

[NunexxShadowZ]

@greendaykicksass1101 Punk is a subculture . that had a strong activity in Politics and Fashion, aswell as music...I was mentioning Punk Rock. Compare the great Sex Pistols or Misfits to Green Day, lets face it Green Day sold out. They suck....21 Guns sucked.

[greendaykicksass1101]

@NunexxShadowZ no, punk is doing what you fucking want, and not letting anyone tell you what to do, and not taking shit from anyone. Billie Joe is telling the government to fuck off, telling george busch to o fuck him self, and thats what im telling you to do now FOD

[NunexxShadowZ]

@greendaykicksass1101 Go ahead and Check Punk movement. Billie Joe is singing music for the masses, he is not telling anyone to fuck off, because if he did, he knows that he won't appear on MTV, hence losing money.... They Sold Out. Deal with it!

[greendaykicksass1101]

@NunexxShadowZ he doesnt directly tell them to fuck off, they didnt sell out, they just got good enough to get a good record dealer, so ur saying anyone who got a good record dealer is a sell out, fuck off

[NunexxShadowZ]

@greendaykicksass1101 So you're telling me that 21 Guns wasn't a sellout?

[greendaykicksass1101]

@NunexxShadowZ i didnt even realy like 21 guns, my favorite song on 21st century breakdown was either american eulogy or east jesus nowhere

[denskosnorebandit]

@MrRockstarter14 considering linkin park, green day, and bullet for my valentine aren't alternative i dont think that would work that well

[greendaykicksass1101]

@denskosnorebandit then what are they

[denskosnorebandit]

@greendaykicksass1101 green day is punk, bullet for my valentine is a bad interpretation of death metal, and linkin park is nu metal/rap metal and thats strait from their website

[greendaykicksass1101]

@denskosnorebandit oh, sorry i thought you were going to say green day is pop, there not, and i hate linkin park, and i dont listen to bullet for my valentine

[denskosnorebandit]

@greendaykicksass1101 yeah i also hate linkin park and i don't recommend bullet for my valentine they kinda suck

[greendaykicksass1101]

@denskosnorebandit good

[ThePaulieb]

@MrRockstarter14 do you know what alternative rock is? oh how i hate stupid people

[yankeex1314]

@MrRockstarter14 literally every band you said besides RHCP and Linkin Park suck.

[jsm408]

Your list is worse than mattyharrison93's.@MrRockstart­er14

[newellboy2]

@MrRockstarter14 You sir, are retarded

[TheRevolutionomega]

Why can no one correctly classify music? The majority of these are grunge bands. Nice try though.

[kives1985]

@TheRevolutionomega

Grunge is a form of alternative music. Grunge (and Britpop) is when alternative music hit the "mainstream."

[TheRevolutionomega]

@kives1985 Yes I'm aware. But "alternative rock" by modern standards is more in the pop-rock realm of things. The problem is that anything that's rock can "technically" be considered rock or alt. rock. The category is too broad.

[MrGODFATHER559]

LOL...GARBAGE... THESE SONGS ARE WEIRD AND BORING... CHECK OUT MY VIDEO... THATS REAL MUSIC....

[McxxRxx]

i agree @SPARTMUA

[SPARTMAU]

AND LINKIN PARK?????!!!!!!

[Mattybeany]

am i the only person that finds nirvana overrated? i like nirvana and all theyre just not that great. pearl jam and alice in chains back in the 90s had a lot more talent personally than nirvana

[gladir360]

Check my top 20 songs.

[jjadgemini88]

You could only include bands like Coldplay and Muse if Radiohead didn't exist; the list should be top 11 just so they can be on. Also the Smashing pumpkins should probably have a place here. This list is really good though, thankyou for not forgetting the Pixies :)

[AloysWalterStefan]

NIRVANA!!! :D:D:D

[223bnz]

@AloysWalterStefan

nirvanna is more grunge then alt

[AloysWalterStefan]
