became the poster child of daring and genre bending
alternative rock.

Cryptic lyrics, complex time signatures, and numerous tempo
changes has been a trade mark in the band’s sound.
Rage Against The Machine
They were militant musical geniuses that fused hip hop and
heavy metal, which would for a time be a considerable part
of the mainstream during the late 1990s and early 2000s, but
by far Rage Against The Machine had the most talent, heart,
power, and aggression.
Mike Watt
Mike Watt is a bassist, a singer, and a songwriter that
is credited by being one of the progenitors of alternative
rock in 1980s with his legendary and influential punk band,
The Minutemen.
No Doubt

quartet has been one of the most popular bands of the past
15 years.
