Hello, my name is Bee. Pleased to meet you .
What do you think this song would qualify as? Either way I love it.

digitial undeground i think is alpha. some of the new songs sound a little like NIN which is beta.
Even though I absolutely love their music, I actually think The New Pornographers are either a Gamma or Beta band. I don't know about the song in particular, but it has the same strong and harsh rhythm as most of A.C. Newman's songs.
There is a big difference between music Alphas like and music Alphas make - one is objective and one is not.
Of the videos posted so far, I think The Postal Service and B52's songs are the best representatives of Alpha music. The Rock Lobster video/lyrics are a great example of Ne: "but it wasn't a rock - it was a rock lobster!"
My personal Alpha canon:

hm maybe. they remind me of Polyphonic Spree which i think is alpha or beta.
I think AIH is Alpha. They're also extremely weird, even for Alpha.

yes, Architecture in Helsinki!!
I think the band DNA is Ne/Si.. i think they might be delta perceiver.. didn't really see a thread there so thought i'd post for opinions here
and, who could forget...
Alpha music has that special something...it's simple, yet complex, carefree, but wistful. It yearns for a more innocent time.

What do you guys think about "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel?

my teacher played that song yesterday xD. Never heard it before.
It's an alright song.

This is me and my dual being scientific together
The Flaming Lips - "Fight Test"
The Rosebuds - "Box Car"
And here is their Blog, which is also rather Alpha with odd stories and experiences being shared. They are a husband and wife duo who spontaneously decided to do a music gig during their honeymoon. Many of their songs deal with young and innocent love and all of their albums have some sort of underlying story to them, which seems to be common amongst Alpha bands.

This strikes me as alpha:

maybe a saint is just a dead prick with a good publicist
maybe tommorow's statues are insecure without their foes
go ask the frog what the scorpion knows
death cab for cutie? I think there is just enough irony in their music that it is alpha instead of delta.
I agree with the above
What about Weezer?
(actually I was just looking for an excuse to post that hilarious new clip of theirs)
LOL yes I love that video.

Hello, my name is Bee. Pleased to meet you .
Alright, I'm at work so I can't post the link right now, but I needed to put this down before I forgot about it.
One Week, Barenaked Ladies. Most ILE song in the history of music.
Note: Lyrics.
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to one side and said I'm angry
Five days since you laughed at me saying
Get that together, come back and see me
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the Hoodwink
As I make you stop, think.
You'll think you're lookin' at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi'cause its ever touched a frying pan
Hot like Wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfort's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me
But I bust through.
Gonna make a break and take a fake,
I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause its so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will
I have the tendancy to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me,
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized its not my fault, not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me,
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa, I make mad films
'Kay I don't make films,
But if I did, they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with the tiny nubs,
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That'll make me think the wrong thing
How can I help if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have the tendancy to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
Its been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to the sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you and said
You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room,
We realized we were both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause we still got two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry,
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

This song's theme is alpha, too bad it is in the persian language, but very enjoyable nontheless.

I also noticed that THA mentioned Rock Lobster as an essentially Ne song. So true. My display pic on MSN was a rock lobster for months.
Also, ftr, I hate Weezer. So there.
