Too many too list. Muse, Placebo and Radiohead have been mentioned here, and they all deserve to be on the top though.

Do you consider either of those bands "alternative rock", fissurestriker? Just curious, they seem kind of pop rock at best to me. I dig Muse, but I think I'll vote for Smashing Pumpkins.

if they count as alternative, Tool (probably more prog rock than alternative) or A Perfect Circle otherwise, the Deftones rule all.

I'm going to pretend you never said that. Furthermore, I'm going to pretend that this topic, in fact, never existed, and that bands like Placebo and Radiohead were grouped together with that trash. :|

Oh you used to wrong word there... your opinion is not fact... I'd say from most aspect both of those bands were superior to Linkin park... but that is an opinion rather than a fact.

My opinion states that a lot of bands are far better than Linkin Park.

OK LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT HERE I AM ASKING IN YOUR OPINION WHO YOU THINK THE BEST ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND IS AND BY THAT I MEAN BANDS LIKE LIFEHOUSE, LINKIN PARK, GOO GOO DOLLS, AND TRASH LIKE RADIOHEAD . IF PEOPLE ARE GONNA FORCE ME TO SPEAK OUTSIDE MY OPINION ILL START USING FACTS LIKE LINKIN PARK ARE MUCH BETTER THAN RADIOHEAD LOOK AT THE FACTS... THEY ARE MUCHMORE POPULAR, EARN MORE MONEY, HAVE MORE ALBUMS RELEASED AND LINKIN PARK HAVE WRITTEN SONGS FOR MOVIES EXCLUSIVELY LIKE' WHAT IVE DONE FOR TRANSFORMERS. DONT START INSULTING AND SAYING BANDS ARE TRASH OR ILL REPORT SO JUST HAVE YOUR SAY BASED ON OPINION OK.fissurestriker

Um.... Radiohead have had more albums, probably have more money, certainly have a wider fan base, and have written songs for films...

And "What I've Done" was on the Transformers soundtrack... it wasn't written for the film...

I'm not saying any bands are trash, because what people think of them is an opinion... what I have just said however, is fact... well except the money thing since I can't gauge their personal earnings.

Wow. Do you really think Linkin Park has more albums than Radiohead? Are you counting live concert albums and remixes of old songs? Linkin Park has 3 "original music" albums. Radiohead has 7. Listen, it's fine if you like Linkin Park or whatever, but don't call other bands "trash", because someone else is likely to say that right back about your music choices.

I am English... I remember when Placebo were having top 10 hits in the 90s... I'd say Radiohead, due to album charts and such are still VERY popular over here. Just not so much in the singles chart.

Radiohead has had 5 number one albums in the UK, dude. They are arguably more popular in the UK than in the US, based on sales. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiohead_discography
