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.

'Don't You Forget About Me' by Simple Minds

Can't believe I haven't posted this yet. Thought I did but can't find . . .

Anyway, this is classic 80's stuff with a hint of mystery and romanticism. I remember seeing the movie like it was yesterday and this song encapsulates the feelings very well.
