I mean, it's kind of a weird question, if you think about it. Jazz is absolutely an alternative to classic rock. So is opera. And so is Tuvan throat singing (which I personally believe everyone capable of hearing, should hear at least once in their lives: Tuvan Throat Singing - YouTube )

I think I get stuck on the word "alternative." The implied question, by using that word is: What music is not classic rock? The answer is: everything else.
Hmm. Everybody else seems to understand what the op meant, and provide very good feedback. But then you have a gift for over-complicating almost every topic, so...mission accomplished.

By the way, Davonu, Amazon Music has a station called “Top Alternative”. It’s actually pretty good. (Just a heads up...a bit explicit sometimes.)
