Thanks for the correction, Danny. It's also always good to hear some debate on our lists.

This list completely sucks. I don't think "Billie Jean" (as it is correctly spelled) qualifies as a rock song, either.

Thanks for adding to the list, Cezca. It's always good to hear everyone's personal favorites since musical tastes can vary so much, even within a single genre like alternative rock.

This is obviously a topic near and dear to your heart, Tim. You raise some good points. Thanks for sharing alternative rock artists you feel more worthy of inclusion on the list.

And you're right - we're not writers devoted to alt rock, just writers compiling lists of items that are considered among the best in their field. Perhaps the writing at our site devoted entirely to music would be more to your taste.

Sorry forgot to continue on my rant. How can a band like Seether touch anything by Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Oasis, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Blink 182, Green Day, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine.

In NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM is Michael Jackson an alt rock musician. If you want to talk about 80's alt or modern rock try U2, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, REM, Talking Heads, The Cure, The Clash. I can go on, but please for the love of god purchase an Allan Cross book and learn a little about the subject matter.

Alternative rock has been around since the 1960's. In many circles the Velvet Underground is considered the first true Alt Rock act. Followed by Iggy and the Stooges, David Bowie etc.

Wow...To think Paralyzer, The Goo Goo Dolls (corporate BS that almost killed the music genre after 1998) and Faith No More are more important than the large and incomplete list of talented alt acts I provided make me want to have a cry in the shower.

What kinda of musical hack is writing this crap? Billie Jean? Are you kidding me, I laughed so hard I almost broke my keyboard while smashing my fist. Donna and Lorie - I'm sorry to say but the two of you are epic failures at writing about alt rock.

Well, NCHammer326, the term "alternative" is open to interpretation. While "Billy Jean" is not rock in the same way that Nirvana is, it did provide an "alternative" sound at the time it was released. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What song would you add to the list in its place?

"Billy Jean" is not alternative rock.
