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.

'Situation' by Yaz

Album: Upstairs at Eric's (CD Version)
Released: 1982
Theme: dance

This is good kickin' tune for Hump day by a band whose original name was Yazoo. They renamed to Yaz for the US market because the name was already in use by a small American rock band.


The version in the video is a funky, club mix. I will post the original tomorrow and see which one you like better.
