DAY 2 of 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!

One may be the loneliest number, but this community is nearly 2000 strong!

50

I'll see if I can count to 10

One Week - Barenaked Ladies

Two Worlds Apart - Little Sims

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley

Four Out of Five - Arctic Monkeys (two for one)

Six Blade Knife - Dire Straits

Seven Nation Army - White Stripes

Eight Miles High - The Byrd's

N95 - Kendrick Lamar (couldn't think of a better "9" song)

Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin

I'm surprised no one has said "One". I guess Metallica's global fame is starting to fade.

Probably the only Metallica song I ever liked - got to be coming up on nearly 40 years old at this point, eh?

The first thing that came to mind is

15 Step - Radiohead

A couple others that came to mind that people might not know.

5 years time - Noah and the Whale

1878 - The Dear Hunter

Thirteen Hours - Andy Shauf

Speaking of Andy Shauf, have you listened to Foxwarren?

I have! I do like them too but not as much as Andy Shauf's solo stuff

I love the Foxwarren album but have only listened to pockets of Andy's stuff. Any recommendation of where to jump in?

The Neon Skyline is my favorite of his and also the first album I heard from him. The Party is also pretty good. Both are concept albums so I would recommend listening to them straight through.

Someone beat me to Four Winds but ...

40' - Franz Ferdinand

504 - Old 97s

1970 In Aspic - Robyn Hitchcock

2 Time - Architecture in Helsinki

and an old number-based favourite:

88 Lines About 44 Women - The Nails

Forty Six & 2 - Tool

Sixteen Saltines - Jack White

Eighties - Killing Joke

O.N.E. - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

The Four Horsemen - Aphrodite's Child

I have a few more songs with one in it but I don't think they mean it as a number, like "We are One" by Buckethead feat. Serj Tankian (very interesting music video)

I’m not the first person to post 2112, am I?

I thought about it. It's an absolutely epic and essential song for any classic rock or prog fan. But I felt that it fell outside of alternative

is leonard cohen alternative ?

chelsea hotel #2

I’d argue yeah! his music has never been mainstream - only covers of his music lol

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. It a 3 in one.
