While 100 Hits: Alternative plays a little fast and loose with the meanings of the terms "alternative" and "hits," more often than not it ends up working in the listener's favor. This five-disc set reaches back to '70s punk and post-punk with tracks from the Stranglers and Public Image Ltd. and makes stops along the way for songs from the college rock and Brit-pop of the '90s before winding up at the electro-rock hodgepodge of the 2000s. And while songs such as Radiohead's "Karma Police" might not have been chart-topping singles, they certainly define alternative rock. While this collection is far from comprehensive, and a few too many tracks from the same artists make it even less so, it still has an eclectic enough mix of one-hit wonders and tried-and-true artists to please anyone partial to these sounds.

Хотя 100 Hits: Alternative играет немного быстро и свободно со значениями терминов «альтернатива» и «хиты», чаще всего это заканчивается тем, что работает в пользу слушателя. Этот набор из пяти дисков восходит к панку 70-х годов и пост-панку с треками от Stranglers и Public Image Ltd. и останавливается на пути песен из студенческого рока и брит-поп 90-х, прежде чем попасть в электро-рок солянка 2000-х годов. И хотя такие песни как Radiohead "Karma Police", возможно, не были хитами синглов, они определенно определяют альтернативный рок. Хотя эта коллекция далеко не исчерпывающая, и несколько слишком много треков от одних и тех же исполнителей делают ее еще менее впечатляющей, в ней все еще есть достаточно эклектичное сочетание чудес одного исполнения и проверенных исполнителей, чтобы угодить любому, неравнодушному к этим звукам.
