Favorite Alternative Band (from this list)

I've been jamming alot of alternative lately, just curious as to who everyone else likes from the bands I mentioned.

The Cure.

U2, hands down. The Cure had a few good songs, two great albums (Kiss Me x 3, Pornograffiti)..U2..timeless.

That's a very strong list, great stuff. I like J&MC, The Cure and pre-90's U2, and I love Joy Division, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. But very few things in life can beat Pixies, and none of those bands are one of those few things.

Pixies all the way.

i went for REM.

U2 is the only band I've heard more than one song from... I'm listening to them right now.

I have to go with The Cure.

Put anything up against the Pixies and they will win.

No nirvana on there? How come?

the smiths

I like songs by every band up there except The Smiths, their music does nothing for me.

I love the Pixies. The Smiths, REM and The Cure were all good. But U2 has stood the test of time, have written some great songs and have really influenced music, I gotta go with U2. Unforgettable fire is also one of my favourite albums ever.

Unforgettable fire

great album...i cant never understand why more people prefered the joshua tree

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the Pixies on this one.

Very tough choice between The Pixies, The Cure and The Smiths.

The Velvet Underground possibly produced the best album of all those bands but they aren't/weren't consistent throughout.

U2 and REM are ok. Both overrated to hell though.

Went for The Cure.

then you are truly a souless servant of the devil

Oooo I am.

Oh definately a tie between TVU and The Pixies.

why no nirvana?

my vote's for them

The Smiths and Sonic Youth

Cure, Joy Division, Pixies
