Any good alternative rock songs or artist?

Posted in alternative rock | November 30th, 2009

Im starting to like alternative rock songs. But i don’t know that many
so i want to check out bands and songs.
Thank you

I guess it depends on what exactly you define as "alternative rock," but I think these bands/songs are good regardless and most could probably squeeze into that category.

Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes – "A Perfect Sonnet", "First Day of My Life"
Cursive – "Big Bang", "Into the Fold", "Rise Up, Rise Up"
Death Cab for Cutie
Desaparecidos – "Man and Wife: The Former", "The Happiest Place on Earth"
Do Make Say Think
Elliott Smith – [Every single one of his songs are amazing]
Engine Down
Explosions in the Sky – "The Long Spring", "Your Hand in Mine"
Further Seems Forever
the Good Life – "A Golden Exit", "Album of the Year", "O’Rourke’s, 1:20 AM"
Jeff Buckley
Justin Beck
Low
Mates of State
mewithoutYou- [Any song by mewithoutYou is great]
Mogwai- "Hunted by a Freak"
Murder by Death
Neutral Milk Hotel
Park Avenue Music – "73 Hours"
PJ Harvey- "Angelene", "Is this Desire?", "The Devil", "White Chalk"
Portishead
the Postal Service
Rilo Kiley
Ryan Adams – "Answering Bell", "Halloweenhead"
Saves the Day
the Smiths- "Hand in Glove", "There is a Light that Never Goes Out"
