Alternative Nation : The Fediverse's largest alternative and indie music community! All things alternative music, from 80s college rock to today's indie and all the amazing alternative music in between. Welcome home, music nerds!

Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Did someone say bluegrass Radiohead covers? Chris Thile/The Punch Brothers have you covered. Here's a few selections. They have more if you dive into youtube.

Paranoid Android

Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box

Iron Horse's bluegrass Metallica covers are also fantastic.

Pickin' on Modest Mouse is pretty damn good, too.

Dark Center of the Universe works surprisingly well as a bluegrass song.

Yes. The fast-paced vocals work perfectly for the bluegrass style

Oh man. This is excellent.

Enter Sandman

nice! I added the Paranoid Android to the playlist - since it had the best sound recording

@kvn Bluegrass works so well for some reason, my favourite Bluegrass cover is Thunder and Rain - Sweet Child oโ€™ Mine (2018)

Very cool. I like hearing that bassline on an upright bass
