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.
This is a cool one by a group out of Nebraska. Makes you want to get up and dance - even if it is 6 in the morning . . . Sounds like they'd be a lot of fun in concert.
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.
It has a slightly different sound than 'Little Secrets (Manners)' which was posted previously. I think these 2 songs start to paint a picture of the band, and I look forward to more.
This is an often overlooked and underrated tune by the British band Simple Minds. Many people don't even know who sings it. Now you do. And now you can enjoy.
