Top 10 Alternative Rock Throwback Songs

Yes we know that these days "alt. rock" is just a very large generalization of many genres. But we're still going to give this "Throwback" a go. Remember, we've already done throwbacks lists for pop punk and emo, both of which technically fall under the alt. rock category. So if you think we missed a song, be sure to click the respective links and check those lists for songs. We're also working on a "hard rock" list, so a song may appear there.  
 Any song is fair game so long as it is at least 5 years old.To see our honorable mentions click the following (link).

Top 10 Pop Punk Throwbacks

The genre itself is like one big throwback to our teen years. When guys wore wife-beaters and cargo shorts, everyone had too much hair gel, and Britney Spears was still relevant. It'd hard to pick just 10 songs, so if you don't see your favorite on this list let us know. 

Check our honorable mentions list on the Top 10 / Quick Picks page. Any song is far game provided it's at least 5 years old.
