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.

'Jubilation' by Anything Box

Album: Peace
Released: 1990
Theme: alternative pop

I was surprised to learn that most of the music by Anything Box was produced in the 90's because it has so much of an 80's sound. This track captures some of the magic of alternative music. The attached video isn't really a video but at least there's sound.

    Good band with some bad timing (a little late to the parade just as Kurt Cobain & co. were about to change things up for everyone). Music reminds me of early Depeche Commode....
