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.

'Dear Prudence' by Siouxsie and the Banshees

Album: Hyæna
Released: 1984
Theme: surreal 80's

I didn't know that this song was a cover version of The Beatles 'Dear Prudence' (I like Siouxsie's better). It became their biggest hit, reaching number 3 in the UK.

I like the song because is exudes a surreal feel.
