I don't like any of it. It's always either incredibly depressing or just boring as hell. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't care for music that fits into either of those two categories.

i consider those bands rock but i guess thats jsut a personal preference.

my favorite alternative bands are groups like mew, mgmt, anberlin, or angels and airwaves.

I consider alternative rock to be rock, so it would make sense if you consider it rock as well.

boulivard of something


Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

I consider Green Day to be more of a punk group rather than alternative. I can see the similarities, but I don't know if they would classify as alternative the way the other two do.

Muse is the best alternative rock band I've ever heard. Hope to see them this Thursday with another awesome band, Silversun Pickups.

Gah..... alt can be such a wide genre..... I think in the American strand of alt rock it is close between R.E.M. and Nirvana for second spot but I just love the Pixies (no connection) the bands in AMerica have a great sound that I don't hear so much from other places. But the best alt rock comes from Britain..... the MAdchester scene gave us The Stone Roses who I love and the BritPop came and (I've gotta say) Blur are my favourites from that era in music.... just edging out Oasis mainly because Damon Albarn is easier to listen too than Liam Gallagher.

Personally I think that ALT Rock is the best kind of R&R out there. There really is no band that is better than one or the other, they are equally good.

Yes but it's a subgenre off alternative so they could be described as an alt abdn or a grunge abnd or both lol..... wither way I think they deserve a mention.

I don't even like to classify rock without a definite tone. If it's good, i like it.
