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.

'I Still Believe' by The Call

I've said it once and I'll say it again, the lead singer has one of the best voices. RIP Michael Been.

Anyway, love this classic - let's get back to basics.

'Our House' by Madness

What's an alternative site without some ska - from England no doubt? This stuff was very popular in the 80's: both Madness and UB40 spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade, holding the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts.

'I Melt With You' by Modern English

Another great alternative tune by an English band. This song is off of the album After the Snow which is excellent. I will post more in time, my friends.

'Forever Live and Die' by OMD

I find this song very romantic and it warms my heart to hear. Don't think the video does it justice tho - wish they would have called me up to direct it.
