OK, from my mp3 player, in no order:

(some might be early 1990-91)

-Halo by Severed Heads
-It's a long way to the top by AC/DC
-Here comes your man by the Pixies
-Dance this mess around by the B52's
-This must be the place by Talking Heads
-Politics of Dancing by the Re-Flex
-Mongoloid by Devo
-Big Man Restless by Kissing the Pink
-Dead Souls by Joy Division
-Our House by Madness


The older I get, the more I listen to the old stuff.  I look for groups from back in the
80's, and hunt their stuff down.  YouTube is great for deciding if I need to find it.  I
listen to a lot of indie or modern alt. rock, but always prefer the 'classics'.

Also, check out www.kroq.com, great alt rock station in Pasadena, CA.  You can listen live
via the web, or they have a separate 'Roq of the 80's' web cast that is awesome!  Great place to hear
the stuff you haven't heard for years, and even stuff you never have!


I like the additional areas on the site.  Great idea!  Hope it becomes popular.

Thanks,
Brian
