Holy smokes - this seminal compilation is THIRTY YEARS OLD this week!
To understand why this disc is so essential, and so celebrated, I direct you to Stereogum's writeup on it from ten years ago, on No Alternative's twentieth anniversary - can't add a word to this superb summation.
I'll just save my breath, and instead provide you all with possibly the best and timeliest collection of then-rarities and unreleased songs by some of the giants of alternative music of that period. Here's No Alternative, released on Arista Records on October 26th, 1993. Enjoy this great throwback to an interesting and exciting era in modern music, and, as always, let me know what you think.
