Well, people with even less musical ability than I have seem to reach the Billboard charts all the time, so I guess never say never.

Old Brit punk band X Ray Spex. See this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoifB3e_ZhM

German indie band from late 8os Xmal Deutschland, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVMAUT4poig

I've never heard of either band, so I'm reading up on them. It sounds like X-Ray Spex was primarily active in the 70's, though they did have a couple brief revivals in the 90's. They don't really strike me as "alternative" though, at least not under the definition that I'm used to. Xmal Deutschland has alternative rock listed among the various genres they're associated with though, so they might fit the bill. I will listen to both when I get the chance and go from there. Thanks for the suggestions!
