Rolling Stone's Alt-rock-a-ramaAlternative rock has hit the mainstream and begun winning Grammys, but it's still outre, wild, creative, and rebellious. Emerging in the 1970s to save music from the corporate takeover of rock & roll, alternative rock's roots go back to the 1960s and groups like Iggy Pop's Stooges and the Velvet Underground. Now, Rolling Stone's Alt-Rock-a-Rama compiles top ten lists, commentary, history, ravings, confessions, and revelations - collected from alt-rock artists and aficionados - about the bands, recordings, artists, and lifestyle that is alternative rock. |
