Alternative Nation : The Fediverse's largest alternative and indie music community! All things alternative music, from 80s college rock to today's indie and all the amazing alternative music in between. Welcome home, music nerds!

Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

The first thing that came to mind is

15 Step - Radiohead

A couple others that came to mind that people might not know.

5 years time - Noah and the Whale

1878 - The Dear Hunter

Thirteen Hours - Andy Shauf

Speaking of Andy Shauf, have you listened to Foxwarren?

[โ€“] kvn@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have! I do like them too but not as much as Andy Shauf's solo stuff

[โ€“] Oweneds@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love the Foxwarren album but have only listened to pockets of Andy's stuff. Any recommendation of where to jump in?

The Neon Skyline is my favorite of his and also the first album I heard from him. The Party is also pretty good. Both are concept albums so I would recommend listening to them straight through.
