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.

'Death of a Disco Dancer' by The Smiths

Album: Strangeways, Here We Come

Released: 1987
Theme: quintessential 80's

A perfect song for a melancholy Monday night. Strangeways is one of my favorite albums by the band because it was the 1st one I listened to - odd as it was the last one recorded.

Love the opening base line; it's like you're being led down an empty hallway to something mysterious.
