Nirvana and RHCP are my favorites I guess.

Sorry, I'll try to listen to something else, I didn't realize I was offending you.

[MVP]

All from Nirvana, Shinedown, Pearl Jam.

I also like Foo Fighters, Evanescence, Vendetta Red, STP, RHCP, Soundgarden, Bush, and Smashing Pumpkins.

[BCWWF]

Alternative is too broad a term, just about all music these days can be considered alternative in my opinion.

[Sickboy]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

[Tornado]

Muse, without a doubt.
Best album of theirs would have to be Origin of Symmetry, with Absolution close behind.
