The Vines... Obsession with the idioms of Curt Cobain, the songs that clearly demonstrates that there is nothing for the guys to say, the compositions build up by two or three premade templates, and calculation is the most characteristic parameters of this band... The first single "Ride" from the album "Winning Days" is, in my opinion, a blockish example of rock popfest with a traditional refrain and sensless content. I see this album as the second edition of "Highly Evolved" that's made up in "the best traditions of the band" as well. If someone tells that they have "saved rock and roll" I can only respond - then don't dig that fucking offal out of its grave!
So did I! I think at the end it came out a complete disaster. The same old fairy-tale world by Burton but doesn't really have that magical aura as in the previous films. Too many cinematographical mistakes, limping plot, and intellectualy sore ending.
The Vines??? There is no way The White Stripes should be associated in any way with this band!!! Their artistical level is very low if any, purely comercial staff here from start to end... Though, I am not sure about the others on the list as well!
#58 "St.Mary" by Rancid ...well, I LOVE PUNK MUSIC, that's why I came across with the album "Let's go" a long long time ago (they havn't quite catched my permanent interest) ...
This is all true. This is your list. One could allways name an example that's more related to the given category. Still some notes:
(1) Placebo songs are pure indie rock, the one by Jimmy Eat World does fall behind
(2) Heroes by David Bowie is probably the greatest song ever and certainly the best example of glam rock
(3) oldies rock, as I understand, represents songs written by "oldies" in their "chair days" not in their primes as, for instance, the great Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
That is strange how you can go this far in the disscussion beneath the statement that … Rock [U2 - Beautiful Day] … Alternative [Nickelback - How you remind me] … without noticing this absurd. The first one is a pop music or maybe just falls into the power-pop category. The second one is no way an example of alternative rock but rather reminds one of those what “…recreate the original image and music, only … horribly destroy it in the process…”, namely, Nickelback does this to europop (!!!) by adding some crappy guitara accords. Well, I shall finish right here and even not make any comments about the importance of lyrics in this subject!

#47 "Your emotions" by dead kennedys - a strange song I have almost forgoten, but not yet...
