Who Like ‘80’s-‘90’s Alternative?

[Prime Time]

I do! It’s probably my favorite genre. Do any of you like this genre? If so list some of your favorite groups or songs.
------------
If you have never listened to ‘80’s-‘90’s alternative you need to check these bands out.
Some might be considered rock (R.A.T.M.) or ska (Sublime) but I really don’t care, their style is pretty close to alternative (well that’s just my opinion).


Soundgarden
Nirvana
Stone Temple Pilots
Alice in Chains
Rage Against the Machine

I heart The Pixies

[hooman1844]

Red Hot Chili Peppers are nice, so is Depeche Mode.
Nirvana as well.....but I wouldn't classify it as alternative rock.

[Prime Time]

Nirvana is more of a grunge-rock, but I just call all grunge-rock and ska alternative. It’s just easier that way.

Love Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana and Sublime!

Dani California' s nice, but it's not really '80-'90s. ;)

Pearl Jam is the root of all evil. I absolutely hate everything about them.

Pearl Jam is the root of all evil. I absolutely hate everything about them.
Why's that?

[Prime Time]

Why's that?

I can’t stand the lead signer’s voice, their style is very soft and mellow, which isn’t a bad thing just something I don’t like in this genre, I also can’t stand their guitar player in my opinion all the guitar stuff sounds the same, and the drums are below average.

[hooman1844]

I'm learning about depeche mode in French.

[d2001dstanley]

My favorites in that list tend to the 90s side, with the inclusion of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and Soundgarden. Outside of those three, I sample out what I think are the best songs of some of those bands (Faith No More's "Epic" sticks out of those bands as a memorable song). As for those that question Nirvana as alternative, most alternative rock stations do include Nirvana in their playlists (Although I have even seen classic rock stations play Nirvana, such as WAXQ-FM in New York.)

So anyone listen to R.E.M.? They're pretty good I like Stand and a few other tracks, but most is pretty bad they're kind of like U2, popular but don't really have a lot of good songs.

I like R.E.M. especially "Losing My Religion" & "It's the End of the World"
Harvey Danger was alright, they had a couple of good hits.
Did anybody else like Billy Idol? One of my favs was "White Wedding."

[Prime Time]

Billy Idol is nice, White Wedding is great along with Dancing With Myself.
