Let’s do the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles! Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite songs that meet the challenge!
LET’S GO!
Red Tide, Neko Case.
Yes!! Neko stans rise up!!
Would cut off my arm for Neko Case.
Fox Confessor, imo, is a true perfect masterpiece. @Champagne@masto.ai <3
@ren @BonesOfTheMoon This fact is indisputable.
@BonesOfTheMoon @ren I adore Neko
And she’s so funny and such a great writer too.
An even better candidate…
Eskimo Joe - Black Fingernails, Red Wine
Here’s two with the color pink! First from one of my favorite bands.
Second one is probably not considered alternative but whatever I like it because it’s basically an Andre 3000 song.
Ill give you 4 colours.
Purple Yellow Red and Blue - Portugal. The Man.
Blackstar - David Bowie
Blue in Green - Miles Davis
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Pink + white - Frank Ocean
Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan
Sorry if these aren’t “alternative” still trying to figure out what that really means but I’m not sure I’d call any of these inside the modern mainsteam.
@ren Goldfrapp - Crystalline Green (2003)
Zwan - Ride a Black Swan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ7550OtqPQNot very alternative, but Nina Simone - Black Is The Color of My True Love’s Hair https://youtu.be/NWmCbEbMmeU
will have a think for a better answer…
Julian Casablancas “Out Of The Blue”
Phrazes for the Young is a great album!
Augie March - There’s something at the bottom of the black pool https://open.spotify.com/track/3LClp65ppWEjCrHrnsKiNt?si=Elu8D-7RQSWnw8TQzw_d_w
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Blacktop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BE6A4TGZ-dE
Arctic Monkeys - Red Light Indicates Doors are Secured
https://open.spotify.com/track/56GFlp1dkt7dw56pQdTwqW?si=e5ec666e768a4db7(a reference to):
Bad Religion - The Gray Race (debatable if alternative, though)
Oh BR is def alternative. Never really got near the mainstream!
You might be right. It’s just in case of punk rock bands those are a very well known one. Well at least they were in the 90s.
Animal Sun - Girl in Blue
Does psy trance count as alternative? Infected Mushroom - Pink Nightmares (E: link to the better, extended version I thought I’d linked in the first place)
Bonus track - Infected Mushroom The Legend of the Black Shawarma
Pink Diamond - Charli XCX
