My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

'Ocean Size' by Jane's Addiction

Album: Nothing Shocking

Released: 1988
Theme: alternative rock

This tune seems to announce Jane's Addiction to the world on their debut studio album. I think it captures Jane's power. If I were boxer, this would be played during my walk to the ring.

  2. I would then exit the boxing ring after my knock out victory with "Mountain Song"
