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.

'That Was Then but This Is Now' by ABC

Album: Beauty Stab
Released: 1983
Theme: quintessential 80's

'That Was Then but This Is Now' was the first single off the band's 2nd studio album.

The song starts out with a very typical 80's sound but then progressively gets more mysterious. I don't know how to describe it - kinda of similar to thinking you know someone but then find out there's a lot of cool stuff you didn't know. I like that.
