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.

'Route 66' by Depeche Mode

Album: Music for the Masses
Released: 1987
Theme: quintessential 80's

Now time for some funky DM. This B-Side is a cover of the standard "Route 66", named after the highway of the same name. The music for the cover is similar, sometimes identical to "Behind the Wheel" which is off Music for the Masses.

There are several mixes and the video resembles my favorite.
