Top 10 Alternative Rock Songs of 2010 & 2011
DJZeezoThe Top Ten

Truly the best rock song of all time. This song is so creative and it can rock anyone (even people who hate rock).
Linkin Park have ruled this planet!
What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again
Oh yeah! awesome tune! the only song I really liked off that album. Both Chester ^^ Mike have done a good job
Great lyrics. Love this song.

Best metal song maybe in history "along with Master of Puppets - Metallica"
This song is the perfect hardcore song I've heard
Metal became awesome when these guys jumped into it, damn they are so epic and this song proves it!

Awesome song, really shocking how Linkin Park turned out as an all typed music creators.
This song just stunned me when I heard it!
Fine song but where's Lost In The Echo by Linkin Park?
Its an awesome song you know but this is also a fine one ;) Love it!
One day maybe we'll meet again... Such a good lyric reminds me of someone special
Never loved a rock song before, but this one is different.
It's almost a pop song and it really shows that 30 seconds to mars have become one of the best bands in history!
I love this song, and loved 30 Seconds To Mars because of it.
I rarely hear a Rock song on radio stations but I always hear this song.
30 Seconds to Mars have really brought life to modern ROCK!
One of the best song I've ever heard, this song should be in the top 5 at least.
It's very beautiful and touching! - ricolopez

It's one of the best songs of BB. The lyrics are awesome and heart touching. And of course meaningful as ever.
Best lyrics I've ever witnessed, such a heart catcher!
It gets you engaged and totally fused with the song!
The song is very touching and well singed, I belive it's the best song breaking benjamin have ever made.
I need to cry every time I listen to this song... I clicked on BB in YouTube by mistake... Certainly the best mistake of my life
Damn! I forgot about this song! This is probably the best breaking Benjamin song I have ever heard! Never gets old!

Amazing piece of art from A7X, relaxing, comforting and one of the best they've ever made!
To me this is the best Avenged Sevenfold song ever made, no screaming, no crazy rifs, no unpleasant sounds.
Excellent Rhythm, Composition, Rifs, Vocals and such an Excellent Masterpiece! - DJZeezo
It was this song and Dear God that got my brother hooked on the band. That final bit where they play the solo and show the pics of The Rev is my favorite part
Linkin Park first with that crap song doesn't make sense

Amazing song... Amazing lyrics and also amazing video... The song deservers to be in betwwen no 10
What it deserves far more better than this its about mistakes. We all do it. The part in between has awesomest guitar sounds
Vote fans don't you love Linkin Park
My Chemical Romance are awesome, this song is sorta classic but epic at the same time, I really enjoy listening to it very much, it's very relaxing!
My Chemical Romance is simply the best in my own opinion. This is once again another masterpiece that was performed beautifully! I also liked the #SINGitforJapan version of this song but I adore the original! Ray, and Frank killing it, the drums are amazing, Mikey amazing at bass as always, and gee with the vocals! Very relaxing to listen to! So happy its in top 10!
What is this song doing here?!? This masterpiece is one of the best you'll ever hear from My Chemical Romance.
I'm glad it's in the top 10, it's amazing!

Seether's new album is actually the best I've witnessed till now, and this song and Country song proves what I'm saying right now.
The Contenders

Supreme song with many deep meanings, it's really touching and fantastically made, this song is one of the best Grunge songs I've ever heard.
Fantastic Song, fantastic lyrics, fantastic music, fantastic vocals, fantastic EVERYTHING!
This song is a show stopper!
Go 3DG!
Three days grace have dominated Post-Grunge for themselves!
And this song tells the story.
They just keep getting better and better...
This song is absolutely fantastic. It's got a deep meaning, yet with simple lyrics that'll have you singing along in no time. One of the best songs from the best album of y second favourite band (first favourite band is Linkin Park, however I don't think Waiting for the End and The Catalyst are really rock songs)

Walk won multiple awards and set a new path for upcoming alternative bands to follow. So why the hell is it 12th. Just listen to the sing along, scream along tune and see where I am coming from
The Foo Fighters honestly win every grammy a rock band can win in 2011, and they are 17th.?

The Best religious song I ever heard, so touching and inspiring.
This song deserves more than #5, we need more votes on it!
Skillet have proven themselves as one of the best alternative rock bands in history, they deserve a bow for their achievements!
This religious song has made history, I mean I never imagined that I could hear religious music, but I changed my mind after I heard this fantastic song.
If you wanna talk about best alternative then this song should be the best.
Not only the lyrics is awesome but the way they composed it was extremely fantastic
These guys are brilliant. My favorite Skillet song of all time. I also like Hero.

Since the past, I loved Nirvana. Nevermind is very well. But then in 2002 I met the song Broken by Seether. In Seether's first album, I understand new Nirvana is better than old. And you know, ever since he was like Country Song's wait. I always wait more beautiful... Country Song ambitions were satisfied. I really need to get clip, need to get songs, great.
Awesome beat at the beginning and an awesome alternative rock collaboration, this song has shocked me and went through my vanes till it reached my heart!
This song is everywhere!
I always hear it on the radio and see it on top charts.
It did well on the billboard and I hope it does well here on this list
Barely above Awake and Alive for me.

Entertaining song with nice solos and rhythms, Avenged Sevenfold are getting better and better day by day.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

I love this song! Why isn't it higher?



Why is this song down here!
Alter Bridge showed the entire world how proper guitar riffs are made and fused with a song in a perfect way!
This song is one of the masterpieces of this decade!
Alter bridge should get more attention!
Simply astonishing!
The solos in this song are perfectly made, and the lyrics is one of the best I've ever seen, Alter bridge have one of the best lyrics in the rock world.
This song is amazing, it's really underrated! - DiegoRodiEXL
Fantastic song, I knew alter bridge from edge's theme song, but I became a fan when I heard their new album AB3.
This song is the best in the album, hear it!
This song is simply A.W.E.S.O.M.E. ,should be in the top 5. The very first intro riff sets me in the mood whenever I'm in the car or at home. Simply amazing AB keep making this kinda music and amaze us...

Simply Beautiful!
The song's verses are maybe the best verses ever known in history!
Amazing song from an amazing band, and the video describes the whole song, if only the chorus was a bit better it would have been #1 on this list!
Thank you 30 Seconds to mars for giving us song like this.

The guitar and melody of this song is the best and is one of the best on the new album


Nice alternative song that really gets you, this is not the usual three days grace style but it really proved that they could produce more than just Hard Rock
This song was a huge surprise from three days grace.
They sang a song more towards blues and pure alternative instead of hard rock.
This song is so amazing and mind catching, I really wish they would make more like it!
This sung was a huge surprise from three days grace.
They changed the way they usually sing and made a really touching song that really gets you!
I wish they could make more songs like this!
Fabulous song, it's really relaxing and one of the best I've heard from 3DG.
It also made a good success on Billboard. - 3dgfan

All that remains should have made huge success because of this song... I used to hate these guys but when I heard this song I knew that they deserve better
The way they mixed good singing and death growling is awesome, this song deserves more than this rank!
Didn't like their music until I heard this mind blower.
Such a heart touching and pounding song.
It should surely get a higher rank!

How can this not be number 1? Anberlin is the best alternative band out there. I guess part of the problem is people confusing alternative rock with hard rock. - Luvaddict77
Good song man, catchy sound..

Fantastic song by BB, they are really underrated, this song has really a great rock spirit that motivates you to finish the song.
Fantastic rock song, thanks BB! - AltRock4ever

What is this doing here!
I mean Linkin Park have made us such a relaxing song that was featured on a Transformers movie and this is not how we should repay them.
Vote this up guys!
I first heard this song from the new Transformers movie.
The video is legendary, and the song is so calm that I didn't tell if it's an Alternative song or not.
"as if the skies had blown the heavens into stars"
This quote makes me break down with emotion every time.
This quote is so beautiful.
Just ruining a the beauty of rock This is disrespect
ONE OF THE NO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG EVER MADE THAT TOO WITH ROCK MUSIC SURELY NO ONE BUT Linkin Park HAS DONE IT
I MEAN WHAT REALLY?

Such a hell of enthusiasm, I head banged to this song like never before.
Disturbed are the best Metal band that ever walked on earth!
One of the best of disturbed, it really get's ya pumped up.
These guys don't know where to stop, they just keep getting better! - ahmedhiari

I'm not surprised why this song is down here, no one knows this song, if anyone did it would have been at least in the Top 5, unbelievably underrated and unknown.
It's amazing what 1 person can make!
I never knew this song before I saw this list, I'm really grateful to the one who added it.
It's so amazing I'm listening to it 24/7 - Rockfreeko
One word : amazing!
The Legend of the 1 person band has came to life.
Bret Autrey is the best Musical Artist ever known.
He truly deserves a bow!

30 sECONDS TO mARS is just great! No doubt. And This is War, the best album. This song must have been on 2 or 3, it is even better than Waiting for the end.
WHAT? Number 10? Are you ' kidding me? Kings and Queens ruled rock chats all over the world, it doesn't get better than this. It should be number one for sure..
This song is epic! 30 seconds to mars is epic! They deserve the first place. The music means so much to the echelon! We're not just fans we're the kings and queens, so comr on vote for the best song EVER!
Just Awesome. We are the kings, We are the queens

I've never heard a song so creative like this one, the riffs are just awesome and the whole song is perfectly made!
Fantastic!

A7X never disapoint us when it comes to new songs!
This one is surely better than many of the others they made.

Beautiful soft rock song, surely the best from sick puppies.
This song should be featured in a famous movie.
Relaxing song with a small country touch, amazing
SICK PUPPIES! ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS AND SONG FROM THEM (this should be ranked higher though)


A fantastic surprise from 12 stones, awesome song (especially the WWE remix),
12 Stones are extremely underrated this song is one of many that deserved more attention!

This is one awesome song that is very hard if not to dislike

Simply awesome! Catchy guitar riff, great lyrics and as always, great vocals!
Best alice in chains song ever! Amazing and ear catching.
Alice in chains never get old for rock music!
Since Rooster I didn't hear good songs, but after this one I've changed my mind!
GO AIC


Amazing song, I love it.



Only at 40. Are you serious. Such a good song: music, lyrics. Everything about this song is fantastic.

P! ATD is amazing, and in spite of losing half of their band members, (including their main lyricist) they still kept on going. As you can tell, they did not fail to satisfy fans, making hit songs like this. The xylophone at the beginning is mysteriously beautiful. The whole song is hard hitting all together. Perfectly detailed execution, which was unlike many other alternative songs. Besides, this list is WACK! HALF THE SONGS ON THE DAMN LIST AREN'T EVEN FROM 2010/2011!
