User:WesleyDodds/Alternative music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The aim of this project is to standardize and improve articles related to alternative rock and its sub-genres, as well as to create missing articles. This project replaces WikiProject Indie music and expands its scope to cover both underground and mainstream components of alternative music. This project is not intended to cover all underground music, mainly that which developed after the advent of punk rock and has been termed "indie" or "alternative"; however, since such obscure topics might escape the notice of other editors or projects, they can be brought to the attention of participants of this Wikiproject on the Talk Page.
Please add tasks needing to be done in the appropriate section, and remove them accordingly when they are completed.

[edit] Other
- The Cure needs to be trimmed down a little bit as well as have some POV toned down. It might be helpful for a template to be created for the band listing members, albums, singles, and so forth.
- Britpop needs to cite its sources in the text.
- Make sure that all alternative subgenres are listed on the Alternative rock page
- New Order could use some song samples.
- Make sure alternative bands are listed on the proper subgenre pages and categories.
- Greater distinction should be made between Indie pop and Twee pop. Twee is a subset of the broader label of indie pop, but both articles cover a lot of the same ground.
- The proper name of Shoegazing/shoegaze/shoegazer needs to be determined.
- Pearl Jam needs sources.
- Jane's Addiction needs an infobox picture.
[edit] Featured articles
- Grunge music
- Nirvana (band)
