80s, Alternative
I grew up listening to Live 105 in the San Francisco Bay Area and used to LOVE Modern Rock when it really WAS Alternative Music.
Sister of Mercy The Black Heart of Gothic Rock
The Cure Just LISTEN to those old albums... Pure Classic Modern Rock.
Oingo Boingo They are The Grateful Dead of Alternative. Danny Elfman is God
Simple Minds If 80's Modern Rock had a brain it would be Simple. Is that good?
New Order From the ashes of Joy Division something pretty damn cool arises...
Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always The planet was definitely Black. So were my clothes.
The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me Such a deep album, it stands up to The Greats.
Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party Just Another Day, Dead Man's Party, No One Lives Forever, and Wierd Science for good measure.
Simple Minds - Once Upon a Time Give it a listen, you know, they didn't even write "Don't You Forget About Me"!
New Order - Substance 1987 If you want the epitome of the 80's give this compilation a few listens.
darksynth The rarest 80's synthpop in the known universe.
nbaty The Gnat is where Alternative is NOW.
