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.

'The Whole of the Moon' by The Waterboys

Album: This Is the Sea

Released: 1985
Theme: celtic flow

I thought it would be appropriate to post this band on St. Patrick's Day. However, the band is really composed of an eclectic group of backgrounds: mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England.

Anyway, the tune takes me back to the homeland upon listening. Enjoy with your green beer.

'Technology Needs Me' by Gnaked Gnomes

Album: Gnaked Gnomes - EP

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative

This song was written by my son, Nick. Recently, he's recorded a couple of tunes, and wishes to release a collection of songs on April Fool's Day. Provide feedback!

This one, "Technology Needs Me" was written about technology addiction, and how Nick needs it to communicate with his friends in Germany.
