The list of artists is huge and unweildy. Howsabout either/and/or: 1. Cutting it down to bare essentials 2. Making two, three columns 3. Seperate Article --Oyster

Just wanted to state briefly the reasons for my edits. The first involved changing the discussion of the history of Alt Country to make it more clear about the two opposing forces of the genre, traditional country music and country rock. I also deleted several bands that were not alt.country artists and added a couple that are. I eliminated a web page that wasn't up anymore and added a new one that was. (Posted by User:HLS Group 3}

It seems to me that people have been going a little overboard with classifying musicians as alternative country. For example, as much as I love Neil Young, I don't think that his "Harvest" trilogy and "Old Ways" albums qualifies him for this category. Isn't Kasey Chambers just plain country?

I added Grey DeLisle to this page on the grounds that she's often classied as alt. country, and has even been profiled in No Depression which is the alt. country bible. Pearce.duncan 04:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think if you've been on the cover of No Depression as Kasey Chambers has, you belong [1]. -MrFizyx 01:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't The Mavericks alternative country too? They were so described when they first came out. Badagnani 10:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the context of this article, I would say no. I see your point though. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 10:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
