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.

'In Between Days' by The Cure

Album: The Head on the Door

Released: 1985
Theme: quintessential 80's

Does it get any more quintessential 80's?

Ohhh, one of my all time favs by Cure. No matter my mood or location, I could listen to this tune, sing along and feel good.

I remember watching the video on MTV as a kid before school but couldn't find tonight.
