good alternative rock music

want to download alternative rock or pop rock music. Suggestions?

Lots of types of alternative out there. You really have to be more specific. Garage-y, country-ish, new wavish, etc.

I'm not sure exactly how you define 'alternative', but I would recommend The Libertines and The Auteurs if you're not already familiar with them.

[Paluka]

The Garden State soundtrack is awesome. I'd also recommend Reconstruction Site by The Weakerthans.

[2planka]

Surfer Rosa is their best.

Edit: You said garage/new wave-ish. Pixies came to mind first. Check out Fugazi (Steady Diet of Nothing LP), and of course Janes Addiction's Nothing Shocking.

You crazy.

[GuyOnTilt]

The Garden State soundtrack is awesome.

I second this.

All the Fugazi records are awesome.

Midnight Oil has some good stuff

Saw them once in an old warehouse in Portland, ME (this was in 1993, I believe). They played with a fun band called Lezbo Vampires. Almost five hours of insanity.

Steady Diet is best for the uninitiated. 13 Songs is quite good and there are tons of bootlegs/imports available. Very cool band.

These are starters...decent mix of the new and the old. I'll try to think of more. But you should have these artists.

Yes! I can't think of a more overrated band in rock history.

[Ian J]

Linkin Park's whole Meteora album pretty much kicks ass. Hoobastank's The Reason, although a bit on the pop/mainstream side, is really good.

As opposed to Meteora? Both suck ass.

You'll notice the initial request included "pop" as well. If someone makes a list of dozens of groups I would doubt most people are going to look at it and go "oh yeaaaaaah each and every one of those on the list KICKS ASS."

[YourFoxyGrandma]

Magnetic Fields are good, though gay. I like Cake and They Might Be Giants.

[plaster8]

The Black Keys. It's new, but sounds old. Fantastic stuff.

And I agree with the folks who hate Nirvana. I'm not going to say it's bad, because who the hell am I to say, but I can't stand them.

[zephed56]

don't waste yer time, just buy all the Zeppelin albums and you'll be fine.
