Well he asked for alternative rock and alternative rock is a relatively new genre, so groups like Zeppelin, Clapton, CCR, Doors...these are all great Classic Rock bands, I was recommending music of today's age, alternative rock. I also realize that age has a lot to do with the selection of music and differing tastes of the users on this forum, so before you critize the likes and dislikes of mere recommendations, try not to date yourself with your own negative input...

well put

 

never listen to music? yeah that does sound crazy... but then again the fact that i hate all sports probably sounds just as crazy.

buy the new cd's from Korn ... greatest hits comes with awesome dvd

and marilyn manson .. best of

to get u started.

 

Ladies Come on...... :shock: Alt Rock is a flash in the pan-most of em have one song maybe two and theyre outta here.......


But for fun:
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse
The Killers
The Von Blondes..
Seether
Nickelback
Sublime
The White Stripes
Greenday
Weezer


(Oh CRAP! as a side note, my directv has HOLIDAY MUSIC! Betcha $$ next year Christmas starts July 5)

 

flash in the pan....who cares? how many times a day can u possibly hear "american woman" and "free bird" before you shoot yourself in the head

 

Stone Temple Pilots
Velvet Revolver
Guns N Roses
Aerosmith
Metallica
Soundgarden
Audioslave
Rolling Stones
Bush
The Police
U2
Eric Clapton
Radiohead


that should be enough for now

 

Quite a good list...I have almost all of these in my stereo...along with Linkin Park and Nickelback. Both of the Good Charlotte CD's are good...their first one is pretty funny though (check out "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and "The Anthem"). And just for kicks, I'll throw out Weezer's first album (aka the Blue album). I love that CD.

If you want to go old school, and you like the guitar heavy stuff, check out Boston's Greatest Hits. Great stuff...

 

Yes, Weezer's Blue Album is a must...
Look for Bree Sharp's A Cheap and Evil Girl (kinda old and obscure, but a great album, has some great driving songs)
Lucky Boy's Confusion's album "Commitment" (great for road trips)

Also, if you like alternative, try some punk...

 

Three.
I hate both those songs.

For the record, I listen to them and throw my money away on them too.......Ethel and Lucy are my best radio friends

 

"welcom to tha jungle gets worse here every day"

 

If you like alternative music,

I reccomend:

The Music - from the UK
The Killers
The Dandy Warhols
Franz Ferdinand

Other than that... gotta send this to off-topic

Rock on

 

Oh Goodie! Its not 05 related anymore

 

Yikes! my bad
<----- this means just kidding lol. now i know how Dr. Iven feels

i'm 21, so i know what's up, err i mean down, uhh whatever lol

so, here are my "alternative" choices for ya, Badandy. Most of these are known as indipendent/indie bands, because they are not signed with a large record company. Hence more freedom to do what they want, and not worrying whether they sell or not, which is what i like about them. listen and see if you likes
Click and Experience lol

1. The French Kicks
2. The Walkmen
3. The Rapture
4. The Bravery
5. The Dears
6. The Arcade Fire
7. Spoon
8. Interpol
9. The Strokes
10. The Natural History

all of them have sound samples in their sites, just gotta search a little to find

 

hmm, try some Ska too...

The Mighty Mighty Bostones
They Might Be Giants
The Aqua Bats (kinda of on the fence between Ska and Punk, but aren't they all?)

Basically, its like Punk Jazz...

And I recommend listening to my fav station... WONC 89.1 (Listen on your computer)

(Hey, Lalo, I'm 21 too. And its 'sideways' now )

 

 

AND they wrote the greatest driving tune of all time...Red Barchetta!

 

one song, great for driving

Tom Petty - Running Down A Dream

even better if you follow the words while driving.

 

Incubus.
Rage Against the Machine
Stone Temple Pilots
Pearl Jam
311


I can keep going, those are just a few of my personal fav's.

 

seeing as ur in Cali try Live 105, 105.7 or was it 105.3...hmmm also theres WILD 94.9

 

If anyone has metallica ripped to mp3, can they pm me?

 

Get Korn's Greatest Hits album.... and CRANK UP THE SHAKER!!!!!!!!! See if it can handle them
