Let’s do the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles! Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite songs that meet the challenge!
LET’S GO!
Red Tide, Neko Case.
Yes!! Neko stans rise up!!
Would cut off my arm for Neko Case.
Fox Confessor, imo, is a true perfect masterpiece. @[email protected] <3
@ren @BonesOfTheMoon This fact is indisputable.
@BonesOfTheMoon @ren I adore Neko
And she’s so funny and such a great writer too.
Here’s two with the color pink! First from one of my favorite bands.
Second one is probably not considered alternative but whatever I like it because it’s basically an Andre 3000 song.
Blackstar - David Bowie
Blue in Green - Miles Davis
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Pink + white - Frank Ocean
Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan
Sorry if these aren’t “alternative” still trying to figure out what that really means but I’m not sure I’d call any of these inside the modern mainsteam.
Pink moon, pink and white, and yellow Ledbetter are all songs I love on various playlists of mine. I’ll have to give the other songs you suggested a listen!
Zwan - Ride a Black Swan

Eskimo Joe - Black Fingernails, Red Wine
Does psy trance count as alternative? Infected Mushroom - Pink Nightmares (E: link to the better, extended version I thought I’d linked in the first place)
Bonus track - Infected Mushroom The Legend of the Black Shawarma
Not very alternative, but Nina Simone - Black Is The Color of My True Love’s Hair https://youtu.be/NWmCbEbMmeU
will have a think for a better answer…
Julian Casablancas “Out Of The Blue”
Phrazes for the Young is a great album!
Augie March - There’s something at the bottom of the black pool https://open.spotify.com/track/3LClp65ppWEjCrHrnsKiNt?si=Elu8D-7RQSWnw8TQzw_d_w
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Blacktop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BE6A4TGZ-dE
Arctic Monkeys - Red Light Indicates Doors are Secured
https://open.spotify.com/track/56GFlp1dkt7dw56pQdTwqW?si=e5ec666e768a4db7(a reference to):
Bad Religion - The Gray Race
Bleu Nuit from Timber Timbre. Awesome “noir” ambience from a great unique band.
Bonnie Prince Billy - Black
Animal Sun - Girl in Blue
Pink Diamond - Charli XCX
Not sure it this really qualifies as alternative? But I’ve recently been enjoying Ilsey’s Heart of Gold cover. Nice to see more collabs of her and Justin Vernon.
