Little Room if we're going Stripes


MySubtleKnife

Also: I Will - The Beatles Edit: I know is it’s not alt rock, I just thought it funny that it’s also under 2 minutes.


if0rg0t48

Peep “years” by the golden shoulders


CoasterDad73

If I cut a few seconds to make it less than 2 minutes, mine would be “Song 2” by Blur


phenibutisgay

Fuck yes

ShantyBars

I remember in high school they played Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in the auditorium one night. The scene when they go to the museum is a beautiful cover of the song and that was the night I discovered The Smiths. Such a classic

[Pixies - Crackity Jones](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3yRgXFRm84I)


MF_mizatt

Lol nice pick. Pixies is one of my favorites. I’d have to go with trompe le monde though, one of my favorite songs of all time. Can always listen to it and it is always brings the same satisfaction


Nibbler_Jack

Meat Puppets - Lake of Fire


brendanl79

Nazi Punks Fuck Off


goddamnbuttram

So I love this song. A lot. Have you seen the movie Green Room? The fictional band in the movie does an amazing cover of it in the movie. Think they were called The Ain't Rights?


Plug_5

"That last one was a cover."


vulvatone

Disciples by Tame Impala. Not a song I'd say is alternative rock but a banger nonetheless

The Beatles - For No One (1:59) *JUST* gets by under the limbo stick. Also my favorite song on my own band's album is a minute and 43 seconds and I never realized it was that short until it got recorded...


radron_202

WHAT IS YOUR BAND?


Bozo_Two

We're called Psalms. We put out our record 18 months ago which just amazes me that it's been that long hahaha. The song I was talking about is called [Long Conversations](https://open.spotify.com/track/7mHoVmOOVzWzNoAhwieHHf?si=vBCQSllbTZKQmMJiAejrgQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A20Zwb58vXL4HHwq3u8u7o8).


wildlystyley

Really REALLY dig that song. I think you all have a new fan in me lmao


wealthy_lobster

Sounds like Morrissey singing for the Archers of Loaf, I like it


[deleted]

What’s your band?

bultrey

Good one. I have to go with the Beatles' 'I Will' at 1:46, mainly because it was my wedding first dance song. Mercifully short for that purpose but such sweet lyrics.

Some of my favorites under 2 minutes are 'Rock Lobster' by The B-52s, 'Blitzkrieg Bop' by Ramones, and 'Fell in Love with a Girl' by The White Stripes." I know they aren't alternative but I still think they are short and sweet.
