DAY 13 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
When music started getting WEIRD which led to the awesome 80s College Rock years - the 70s!!!
Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
I mean, some absolute gems in this decade from Bowie, Krafwerk, Roxy Music, Talking Heads… god damn.
But for me, as a huge Violent Femmes fan, finding Velvet Underground was so important. Which song though??? tough choice, but let’s go with an absolute classic that I listen to on the reg: “Pale Blue Eyes” https://youtu.be/KisHhIRihMY
All my favorite bands point back to the VU - Alex Chilton, REM, Yo La Tengo, and on and on. They were cooler than cool.
Needles In The Camel’s Eye by Brian Eno
Elements of this sounds extremely early 90s alternative to me. He was so ahead of his time.
Pere Ubu - Nonalignment Pact (1978)
or the whole ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album by Joy Division…
