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...

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.

Just had a great suggestion from @[email protected] - how about we start a "book club" but for alternative albums! Apparently our friends over at HipHopHeads has started one. I think that sounds splendid!

As [email protected] wrote: "Next week I will start the thread. Every week will be a different album and anybody who is interested can give it a listen, then share their opinions in the weekly thread!"

Sound good?

YOUR ALBUM ASSIGNMENT: REM - Automatic For The People

The band that is our community header that kicked off a 1000 alternative bands of their own. After taking college rock and literally kick starting the "authenticity" alternative music boom of the 90s, REM returned with this brooding dark album.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links or not, but it looks like they're doing a repress of this on vinyl for"National Album Day", if anyone is interested.
