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.

'Machu Picchu' by The Strokes

Album: Angles

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative rock

Every so often a song comes out of the blue and takes you for a ride. Thanks Jmac.

And another thing, there's something about this tune that reminds me of a children show from the 70's called Villa Alegre (I think) - kinda weird. Funny because I think about that introduction song a lot and the fantasy places it would take me.
