Jane's Addiction and Alice and Chains. Hard to decide for me.
Its hard to lable all bands and a waste of time.
AIC is not metal, I think they are just as mighty and heavy as any metal band. They do remind me in a way of old Sabbath with that slow, guitar drivin, heavy grind. Staley's voice is haunting.
Jane's was also as mighty at times "Ted, Just Admit It" "Mountain Song" "Three Days" 'Trip Away" but, I don't think anyone would or should put a metal or punk tag on them.
As for what "alternative" means...it originally meant music that was an alternative to mainstream radio rock, but then after going mainstream it kind of lost that meaning, haha. I like "alternative" music because so much of it is hard to categorize. If something fits into a neat little box, it is often boring.
And yeah, "indie" is pretty much the new the word for "alternative".
