Moop Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Away From The Sun is one of the first albums I ever bought, so I guess they're sort of a special band for me. I don't listen to them much now, but they weren't that bad from what I can remember. Wouldn't call them a generic band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Apollo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 They are not "alternative" in the last bit.They are a classic rock and roll band.A step up rock-wise from Matchbox 20.Just an old fashion band putting out rock songs.Not the best rock band, not the worst . . . but better than average.

They are "bland" if anything. A "safe" rock band. Listen to If I could Be Like That and tell me they are alternative!!!!They are like the Dokken of the 80's. Never the best hair band . . . . clearly not the worst . . . but put out some catchy safe tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the term was created, yes it was alternative to the mainstream rock music back then (which was Hard Rock). But the term "Alternative Rock" is used as a music genre, and includes many sub-genres like Post-Grunge, Pop-Punk, BritPop, Emo, etc. Matchbox 20 is also a Post-Grunge band.
