Best Alt. Rock Band

The list is from online so don't get mad at me if a band is missing or a band shouldn't be on here, ok? I went with Muse because the have so many different sounds so that there's something for everyone, while everything still feeling like Muse. They're a top 3 band of all time imo. Soundgraden would be my second pick.

I don't really listen to any of these, but I went with Nirvana because of Teen Spirit.

Also, I had no idea you could make polls with this many options lol

From this list R.E.M.

It says you can do up to 100 actually

I typically don’t like alt rock at all. However, just like for deathcore, there is one exception: the band House of Heroes. They have some songs I quite like, such as this one:

If I had to choose there's a couple songs by The Cranberries that are okay.

From this list I had to go with Foo Fighters. Based on their earlier albums especially. I've always loved Grohl's sense of melody.

I like several of these bands pretty well, actually.

My actual picks would be Stone Temple Pilots and 311.

R.E.M. needs more love. They were pretty great up through New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

My favorite alt rock band is The Choir, though.

I'm surprised because I thought we were limited to 10 choices per poll.  I feel robbed now!    
I've created maybe 8-10 polls so far thinking I had to present only 10 choices.  Oy vey.

Agree with Pethead, had to go with REM on this one.  

Runners up would be Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cure, and "Soundgraden," lol.

Did I actually put Soundgraden? And you can actually have up to 100 options. I also thought it was ten previously, it's possible it updated recently.

In my book, Nirvana and Sonic Youth but most of the others you listed have a few good tunes as well. But yeah, Nirvana and Sonic Youth were the genre defining groundbreaking ones.

I only really dig
 two of the bands from that list, The Cranberries and Soundgarden.  So Soundgarden it is.

Nirvana’s Bleach album is very good, so I went with them. I almost chose Soundgarden. 

I’m surprised STP wasn’t on the list. Their Core album is one of my favorite alternative records.

I know, but I’m still surprised they weren’t on it. They were huge back in the 90’s.
