No Alternative is an alternative rock compilation album produced by Paul Heck and Chris Mundy. It was released in 1993 to benefit AIDS relief. The album features original tracks and cover versions from bands who went on to define the alternative rock scene of the 1990s. It was released with two different versions of album art: the standard version depicting a boy (without the Nirvana song listed on the back and liner notes), and the alternate version depicting a girl (with the Nirvana song listed on the back and liner notes; however, some CDs have the girl but no Nirvana mention).
A television special hosted by MTV and a VHS home video release featured live performances, music videos, and information about AIDS.
On 20 April 2013, as part of Record Store Day celebrations, No Alternative is due to be rereleased for the first time on vinyl in a special 20th anniversary edition.

Famous quotes containing the word alternative:
“If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
