Nice tunes! I love all the bands you picked today and you chose some good songs. OMD really has a bunch of great songs that were never mainstream, Tesla Girls, Locomotion, and so many more. The Cure are an awesome band too, Robert Smith is awesome. Hard to go wrong with Talk Talk too, that's why No Doubt covered that song!

I always hear Tesla Girls on the First Wave station in the car! Ahead of its time! I’m surprised it’s not used in a Tesla car ad! The real Tesla got robbed! u know who his assistant was? Donald Trumps Uncle! 👀 oh the conspiracies! 😂 !PIZZA !ALIVE
I love the song Talk Talk the best from Talk Talk.
Oh Man U ever hear this cover of Electricity? I heard it before I heard the original as a high school kid! ⬇️

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
