Top 10 Alternative Rock Songs of 2010 & 2011

The Top Ten
1 Waiting for the End - Linkin Park

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

Linkin Park are obviously my favorite... And yet another masterpiece by them the good thing is that the song gets slow with fast raps in the middle...

2 Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

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!

The best METAL song ever created...
It got me thrilled to the limits, ans Gates really knows how to make a good metal solo!

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!

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.?

13 Country Song - Seether

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

This song is really amazing, no one expected Seether to come out with such a stunner, well done Seether keep it up!

The Best religious song I ever heard, so touching and inspiring.

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.
