I already included songs by the usual suspects:

Nirvana
Stone Temple Pilots
Pearl Jam
Alice in Chains
The Cranberries
Foo Fighters
Garbage
R.E.M.
Radio'ead

Who else should be included. They could be obscure bands (Meat Puppets, Local ') or bands that are kind of alternative but not truly alternative.
