Hey, never heard In the Dark by the Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, I liked that one. The Cure has always been one of my favorite bands, their last album was considered the best rock album of 2024. I made a playlist this year of 1980’s alternative music with Joy Division, The Pretenders and others. And this is the one I included from The Cure. Hope you like it.
I got some tunes for ya! One is even titled “Eighties” and can be the first track on ur playlist!
Here’s three 1985 released gems for your 1980’s alternative playlist! I bet u know one or two but I went for the lesser known gems! Three of my favorite songs ever! Figured I’d pick a theme and went with 1985!
Killing Joke - Eighties
Dramarama - Anything Anything
Descendents - Good Good Things
Hey, you were right. The only one of these I’ve heard before is Killing Joke’s Eighties. I think I heard it first on a NatGeo show about the eighties. I loved Good Good Things by Descendents, I think I’ll use it for a new 1980s playlist.
