Top 10 Alt-country bands

This list from the "ahem", dallas observer (The 10 Greatest Alt-Country Bands Ever) is a joke and no better than the "gazillion" that come before it. Just do a search on OPs title on the inter webs.

With the exception of UT/Wilco/Son Volt, the rest in this lame duck three legged dog list should not even be on one titled: "Greatest Alt-Country Bands Ever"

This a a HUGELY populated style of music today - thanks in no small part to folks like the Flying Burrito Brothers; The Byrds; The Band et al.

Maybe I should put one together so we can all just move on and get over the self important hey look at me I can name bands I don't listen to or have their records but I think are "Greatest Alt-Country Bands Ever...."

Nah, it aint worth it.

Acman3, I wasn't aware you were the author of the dallas observer article of which I was referring.

Anything with "Alternative" in it is a very blurred line tobesure. At the end of the day tho it's all subjective and a matter of personal taste.

Alternative - for the last 23 years - equates to commercial.

Go do your self a favor and get the 2011 vinyl release of "Frontier Folk Nebraska."

There you go Acman, something useful for ya

FWIW Wilco's debut AM was every bit "alt.country" and where they left off with UT... hence the life long labeling.

peace....

Welp, the powers that be consider "The Wood Bros." alt.country:
