You need to hear these to remind yourself how bland 'alternative' music can be.

This is an interesting list, to say the least.
I think Green Day are a good example of how bland and unimaginative alot of, as you put it, 'alternative' bands can be but I actually wouldnt have chosen this album. I can't say I have listened to it since it came out though but I didnt think it was too bad.
I wouldnt say Sgt Peppers was bland either, however its not all its made out to be in the sense that that The Beatles bettered it on a number of occasions I feel.
I do disagree with Radiohead. Its arguable that they had better albums but I can still thoroughly enjoy OK Computer. I can understand some of the terms that get thrown at them ie they are a bit depressing etc but I never thought they were bland.
I'm surprised you included Floyd. You dont like The Wall then?
Do you not like The Beach Boys either?
