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.

'Rocket' by Smashing Pumpkins

Album: Siamese Dream
Released: 1993
Theme: alternative rock

OK I lied, this could be my favorite track by the band.

When I listen to I think of lifting my arms like I'm summoning the gods of 'stuff that sounds good' and I pay homage. Shake your head with me and become entranced.

Enjoy on YouTube

'Cherub Rock' by Smashing Pumpkins

Album: Siamese Dream
Released: 1993
Theme: alternative rock

Man, I love this song - actually it could be my favorite by the band. Interesting fact: the band formed in Chicago but relocated to Triclops Studios in Marietta, Georgia for the album sessions.

I didn't know much about the band until I saw the 1994 Lollapalooza which changed the way I looked at both SP and Beastie Boys.

Anyway, 'Cherub Rock' rocks. I like it just because it sounds good in a surreal kind of way.
