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! 🎢

Strange how much I prefer Bowie covers to Bowie. This is one of the best examples. Thanks Kurt& Dave (and Krist too)!

Agree 100% (about this song). I'm a major Bowie fan, but I loved this cover the second i heard it 20+ years ago (and long after Nirvana was no more), and despite listening to the original countless times, I've never wavered from that opinion.

@Donjuanme That’s super fair. I like Bowie and really enjoy some of his songs. Certainly appreciate what he meant for music. But yeah, generally prefer covers to originals.
