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.

'Something in My House' by Dead or Alive

Album: Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know

Released: 1987
Theme: dance

Cool, a good tune by the band and it's not on Youthquake album.

Interesting info on the lead singer, Pete Burns who is extremely, hmmm, flamboyant a la Boy George, was married for 28 years until his divorce in 2006. It would be prudent to say he was bisexual as well.

In the end, none of that matters. This is a cool tune.

'Lover Come Back To Me' by Dead or Alive

Album: Youthquake

Released: 1985
Theme: dance

This group is better known for 'You Spin Me Round' which is also off this album. I think I'll post that one in time because it's fun but this one is different and I like different.

All in all, Youthquake is a good party album. Reminds me of dancing with myself in high school. Hey, nothing wrong with that . . .
