The Descendents are decribed as a college rock band so i added them to the list here. You might want to consider starting Category:College rock. Just something to think about for the future. Word! Xsxex 22:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC) Xsxex 22:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I added some bands based on [1] and think that this list -- [2] -- may also be useful (but have not yet added any based upon it). Should we add Ramones, for instance? How about Meat Puppets?
I also added two references to the use of this term to refer to 1980s music, and removed the unsourced addition claiming that the term "usually" means something else these days - Foetusized 17:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Technically most every alt-rock band during the 80s could be considered college rock, with the exceptions of industrial rock and most goth. It's best to only list the bands most associated with the term (R.E.M., Husker Du, Replacements, and so forth). Ramones definitely don't count. The Last.fm tags are useless since they're user-based and in no way objective. WesleyDodds 21:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
