[30 Day Song Challenge: Alternative Nation Edition] Day 16 - A favorite CLASSIC alternative song!
(lemmy.world)
Today we start the 2nd half of the challenge!!! DAY 16 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
The way I read this one is, what’s a song that’s generally accepted as a CLASSIC alternative song that you love? ICONIC. THE standard for a band or moment or for the genre.
An obvious example would be like Nine Inch Nails “Head Like A Hole” - their breakthrough classic that’s pretty much synonymous with NIN.
Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
Coming in late today!
As mainstream a choice as this may be, I can't NOT choose Alive by Pearl Jam.
It blew my mind. The grainy black & white footage didn't LOOK like what I was used to seeing on MTV, that lead guitar and solo....MMM... and holy shit, that fucking VOICE.
I literally said to myself during that first listen "this is going to be my new favorite band," and to this day, they still are.
it funny you chose “Alive”, I was thinking about coming back and adding that to my choice too. Truly a stone cold “Seattle grunge” classic.
