alsemanche 92,677 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well... Neither Lana, Lorde, or Billie are really alternative. They're pop stars who have a slightly different sound than the pure mainstream. But anyway considering your list: Kate Bush > Lorde > Fiona Apple > Billie Eilish > Lana Del Rey Personally my fav alt queen is Bjork, forever and always.

FfFfFfFF 54,885 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Out of the names you posted, Billie Eilish isn't really in the same tier. Kate Bush and Fiona Apple are hugely well-liked and appreciated names, and Lana and Lorde are both super talented and established already (despite debuting in the 2010s). My personal pick is Lana followed by Lorde. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely wouldn't put them in the alternative category that's for sure. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,559 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I like Lorde, Lana and Billie's music better but I don't think they're as "alternative" as Fiona, Kate or even FKA Twigs and Björk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling 31,288 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Given the age demographic on this site, I know she won't win, but Fiona. She, along with Shirley Manson, Alanís Morrisette, Courtney Love and others, made it cool to be angsty again. discord.gg/hausofmayhem 1 Year and 1000+ Members!
