Today we start the 2nd half of the challenge!!! DAY 16 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

The way I read this one is, what’s a song that’s generally accepted as a CLASSIC alternative song that you love? ICONIC. THE standard for a band or moment or for the genre.

An obvious example would be like Nine Inch Nails “Head Like A Hole” - their breakthrough classic that’s pretty much synonymous with NIN.

Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!

    The year that this album dropped, it was all that I heard at every single house party I went to. Probably one of the most iconic alternative releases of my high school years.

    I don’t really listen to the album much anymore. Not sure if that’s due to change and taste some 25 years later or just burn out. But I still think it’s one of the most iconic alternative tracks ever.

        Naw, I grew up north of there though. Sublime definitely gets a lot of love throughout California still. It matches the vibe pretty well.
