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.

'Bull in the Heather' by Sonic Youth

Album: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
Released: 1994
Theme: alternative post punk funk

I don't know a lot about Sonic Youth but they produced a lot of stuff - 16 studio albums and counting.

This song is seductive and different and that's all that needs to be said.
