Encyclopedia > List of alternative rock bands

This is a list of alternative music artists. This includes artists who have either been very important to the genre or have had a considerable amount of exposure (such as in the case of one that has been on a major label, but not limited to such). This list does not include little-known local bands. Bands are listed by the first letter in their name (not including the words "a", "an", or "the"), and individuals are listed by last name.

Alternative (290 words)
Alternative pop/rock is essentially a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s.
There is a multitude of musical styles within alternative rock, from the sweet melodies of jangle-pop to the disturbing metallic grind of industrial, yet are all tied together by a similar aesthetic -- they all existed and operated oustide of the mainstream.
Throughout the '80s, the majority of alternative bands were on independent labels; those that eventually signed to major labels, such as Husker Du and the Replacements, didn't break through to the mainstream and thereby were able to keep their hip credentials alive.
