Top Ten Alternative Songs of the 1980s

The Top Ten

1 The One I Love - R.E.M

Agreed its on top. I like REM's songs.

2 Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division

Not really pure alt rock. But may be inspiring towards alt rock.

3 Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2

They've been always one of the most favorite alt rock bands of mine. Don't know why people hate Bono's voice.

4 This Charming Man - The Smiths

5 Just Like Heaven - The Cure

6 About a Girl - Nirvana

7 Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode

I've only ever loved this by Johnny Cash.

8 Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth

9 Monkey Gone to Heaven - Pixies

10 She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult

The Contenders

11 With or Without You - U2

On the wiki they just wrote "rock". but this seems to be like little bit of alt rock to me (I mean soft alt rock).
