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.

Damn, I kinda like this funky sound. This one is off Myth Takes again but they just released a brand new album entitled Strange Weather, Isn't It?

Hmmmm - a new sound by a band named !!! but pronounced 'chik chik chik'.

This is the right path and definitely worthy of posting on SoDA. I'll keep a look out for more stuff by this band.

'Mad World' by Tears for Fears

Album: The Hurting
Released: 1983
Theme: quintessential 80's

Shame on me for not featuring this band on SoDA until now. I saw Tears for Fears recently at Chastain in Atlanta and they were wonderful.

They played this song twice during the show; the first time was a slower version which was their opening number. Funny because it's my favorite by the band. When I hear, I feel like I live in another world and another time.
