1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die	2005	Dimery, Robert	ISBN 13:9781844033928	The book boasts that it was selected & written by "90 leading international critics". A bit of a coffee-table book, but there are many relevant albums covered in here, so just ask for a specific album if you could use an extra source.	User:CloudNine
Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991	2001	Azerrad, Michael	ISBN 0-316-78753-1	Hardcover edition, first edition	User:WesleyDodds User:Ceoil User:Chyel User:CloudNine (paperback)
CD International: CD World Reference Guide, Popular Music Edition, 1998 Edition	1997	CDI International	ISBN 1-879829-10-X	"165,212 CD titles on 302,179 discs from the USA, Germany, Great Britain, & Japan." Phonebook style listings; includes catalog numbers. Can be useful for checking release information.	User:hcethatsme
Rock Music Styles: A History	2003	Charlton, Katherine		The "Major Trends of the Eighties and Nineties" chapter (ostensibly the alternative rock chapter) is one of the less informative chapters in this rock music textbook (the gothic rock section in the chapter is pretty decent, though), but the book provides brief yet highly useful musical studies of the structure, instrumentation, and lyrics of select songs. The alt-rock songs dissected in this chapter are: "Radio Free Europe" by R.E.M., "Everyday Is Like Sunday" by Morrissey, "Wasteland" by The Mission, "Could You Be the One?" by Hüsker Dü, "Stigmata" by Ministry, and "Doll Parts" by Hole.

Turn On Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock	2003	DeRogatis, Jim	ISBN 0634055488	Nominally about psychedelic rock, but includes some stuff about some alternative artists, including My Bloody Valentine, Wilco, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, some of the Elephant 6 guys, etc, etc.	User:Brandt Luke Zorn
International Discography of the New Wave: Volume 1982-1983	1982	George, B. & DeFoe, Martha, editors	ISBN 0-7119-0050-7	Discographies and sometimes lineups.	User:hcethatsme

Please Kill Me:The Uncensored Oral History of Punk	1996	McNeil,Legs McCain, Gillian	ISBN 0-8021-4264-8	Focused on punk, but might be handy. Includes a good bit on The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, MC5, and The New York Dolls.	User:Maxcap
Rip It Up and Start Again: Post Punk 1978-1984	2005	Reynolds, Simon	ISBN 978-0571215690	Available in paperback. The US version is abridged.	User:Folkor
Rip It Up and Start Again: Post Punk 1978-1984	2006	Reynolds, Simon	ISBN 0-14-303672-6	US paperback version.

Spin: 20 Years of Alternative Music	2005	Various		Articles by various writers on major artists and movements in music from 1985 to 2005, accompanied by excerpts from old Spin articles. Title's a bit of a misnomer since the book also covers hip-hop, heavy metal, electronic music, and pop, but there's still a chapter for almost every major alternative rock artist from that timeframe.
