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.

'Stop Me' by The Smiths

Album: Strangeways, Here We Come
Released: 1987
Theme: quintessential 80's

Strange that this is the 1st Smiths album I got into and it was their last studio album. The Smiths are big favorites of mine which carried over to Morrissey's career. Anyway, 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before' is the backbone of Strangeways.
