When I was 16 the Smashing Pumpkins changed my life and awakened me to how majestic music could be and what it can awaken in the soul. When I was about 23 and had been playing guitar and bass for a couple of years RHCP showed me what could be achieved by not limiting my taste and influences to one or two genres. To this day I dream of a collaboration between Billy Corgan and John Frusciante.

alternative, new wave or indie are not genres. They are music categories. post-punk is a genre within the music category called Alternative. And goth is a sub-genre of post-punk. This list is clearly using a grading scale that includes popularity, subversiveness along with influence. R.E.M., Radiohead and The Cure had the right combination of all three. Nirvana just got lucky at the right time. Nothing that special about them. I'm 54 years old. Listened to many bands better than them before Nevermind. People list them number one because they have to.

Where the hell is Tool? Are y'all really gonna ignore the groundbreaking music that they've made over the years and the impact they had on the alternative rock scene? Or are they not really considered alternative rock?

Was thinking the same thing, but Tool is hard to label, and given these other examples I can see why they’re not listed. Alt/punk/progressive-rock/metal? 🤷🏻‍♂️ No matter what, my favorite band.

They went with subgenres so both tool and AIC are eligible to make the list, and alt rock is pretty wide, so many genres came out of alt rock, so my guess is, top 20 is not enough for this, need top 50.

The Chili Peppers should definitely be #1 on this list. They have effortlessly blended countless genres and have made it their goal to not always repeat themselves with their sound. Anthony is definitely not the best singer in the world, but his voice makes the Chili Peppers one of the most unique bands in history. They're basically, as it's mentionned in the video, the foundation of what would become Nu Metal. When you birth a new sub genre of music, that means your music is epic. And the fact that they've been making music for over 40 years demonstrates how their legacy with be long lasting.

1, 2, and 3 are The Cure, R.E.M. and The Smiths. You can futz with the order depending upon ones preference and geographic location. The alternative scene doesn't lift off without them all pushing through "alternative" and into the mainstream. U2's a curious omission because they were alternative until Joshua Tree, much like R.E.M. was before Out of Time.

Pretty good list I guess. I think you got number one right for sure. But I would say Weezer and Soundgarden are way too far down the list
