Who do you listen to?


I love The Replacements, Sugar, X, The Pixes, XTC, Damian Rice, Uncle Tupelo, to name just a few.
 
Classical with lots of brass and timpani.

Paul Westerberg did some good stuff on his own, but I can't ever find any of his vids on YT. None with decent audio anyway.

A lot of his vids were recorded by fans, but they do have that "raw" feel to it........

Love him, Love Bob Mould, I used to want to be Kim Deal, she can play a mean base!
 
Alternative? Sure.

Pixies were amazing, of all the alt-bands to come out of the '80s my favorite is between them and Sonic Youth.

What exactly is Alternative Music and what is it an alternative to?

Popular music in the '80s, actually. Then Nirvana hit, and Alternative became mainstream which defeats the point of the genre. The same thing is happening to 'Indie' today.

Good question. New styles can die quietly, become the new fad, or be settled into a niche like the Grateful Dead or Frank Zappa.

This is an unusual style that I like but I don't see a lot of people jumping on this style.
