Alternative Rock that does not suck.

i used to know a german children's song, my grandfather used to sing it to me. i can probably still do it but i'm sure the accent is way off and my spelling of it would be nearly unintelligable.

Haha, I'd love to hear that. Remember the title?! Weißt du wieviel Sternlein stehen? Der Mond ist aufgegangen? Schlaf Kindlein schlaf?

I heart Deutsch....every phrase sounds like a physical assault
Schlafen sie gut, kleine Adrian....

okay this is going to be REALLY BAD and certainly nowhere near pronunciation/spelling/language/noway but the first line, in american english phonetics of course, was something like "shelley is the shunken" and i think that was the title as well. feel free to laugh.

oh yeah and it had the word schnitzel in there, just remembered that!

I did. And I still do actually.

I have no clue which song that could possibly be. You may find it at http://ingeb.org/kinderli.html .

I got their album Effloresce on your recommendation...except for a few dull stretches and one song that sounds tailored for modern rock radio, very impressive and more ambitious than most of today's dreary alt-rock. I wouldn't be surprised if NAD got stiff over it.

Broken Social Scene.

Dude, I FINALLY got around to hearing this and it really frickin good. It still needs to grow on me more, since it is one of them albums that you need to listen to a million times ffor it to get better and better but thanks!!!

When you guys make me think that the term "stoner rock" is so much gay, i remember that some people use "alternative rock" to categorize music too, and i forgive you all.

Coming from the guy with the term "Hippie Metal" in his sig?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

First, that term rules
Second i never said that it is a name for a whole music genre

 

[dorian gray]

cant be bothered to read the entire thread so all i have to say is that soundgarden's badmotorfinger is one of the best albums of all time. this is not open to dispute btw

John Frusciante? Has anyone said that? Get it!
