Although much of the music world is in shambles – I’m looking at you gangsta rappers<\/a> and label reps – the alternative rock scene is very strong.<\/p>\n

The following bands may not be getting rich from their art (because of pirating and contracts that rape them of well deserved royalties) but they sure do put out some incredible music.<\/p>\n

Here are the 20 songs you should download RIGHT NOW. Mind you I said “Download” because who has $10 laying around to buy an overpriced album from Wal-Mart or Apple, even if the artist really does deserve the money? Not me!<\/p>\n

Sure, I’m gonna get heat on the comment board for having two Eddie Vedder songs?blow me! If you can make a better list or disagree with any songs let me hear what you’ve got to say!<\/p>\n

All these songs and many more are currently streaming on Slacker.com<\/a>. If you want to find new music in very genre then Slacker is the way to go.<\/p>\n
