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.

🎡 Let's get lost in the Fediverse's record store together! 🎢

Thought of you when I saw the post.

Been on a hell of a Tool kick lately. Great song and great album

I wish I was more into them. They are prog adjacent too so you’d think they’d be my jam. What’s the best album to start with?

[–] voidf1sh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh man that's such a hard question to answer - lately I've been obsessed with their latest album Fear Inoculum, which I think is their best produced album, but I'd say Lateralus is probably their best album prog-wise. At least in my opinion.

Trying out Lateralus now, thanks again!

A bit too metal for me, I’m afraid. Thank you though, very much! I’m super glad I tried it.

Fair enough! Not every band is for everyone. Props for giving it a shot though :)
