Alternative to what-was-that-again?
So Linkin Park = alternative? No wonder the record industry is dying with geniuses like that at the helm…
the only alternative act on that list i think is the white stripes. but then isn’t alternative an act or artist that isn’t currently in the mainstream or selling a lot of records? i remember mtv or someone saying that during the alternative year in review in 1992.
