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.

'Of Course' by Jane's Addiction

Album: Ritual de lo Habitual
Released: 1991
Theme: alternative rock

I like Jane's because they sound so distinctive. This song is way off the beaten path and seems apropos to post. I've seen them live several times and they've never played 'Of Course'. The video is a live version and doesn't do it exact justice but you get the idea.

One more thing, if there's one person I'd like to hang out and party with, it would be lead singer Perry Farrell. So Perry, if you happen to be on the site, leave your phone number. Cool.
