There's probably a bunch more but I'm already getting bored doing this.
Yeah, that's the problem I'm having. I researched a bunch of it but eventually got very, very bored.

Are there any particular currents you want information on?
Alternative rock is far, far too broad a genre for me to hope to list all important artists, as is punk rock.
It isn't really a comprehensive project involving the histories of each genre. It's more a small project with an overview of the bands who brought the most to a genre, heavily influenced other artists, and/or reached some sort of milestone in their own time. For alternative rock, bands like Radiohead and Muse will most likely be featured prominently. The biggest problem would be classifying a band into one specific genre, which isn't easy when most bands these days have roughly 10 genres in which they work inside of. People like Good Charlotte are considered "popular" among the punk rock crowd (apparently) but fit most easily into the genre of garbage pop punk.

I'll probably be able to scare some information up myself, but I figured I'd get some input from other members that have a wider range of tastes than my own.

Thanks on the band names though, it'll give me a place to start.

What the smurf are you talking about
I thought it was pretty obvious.
