CD1 showcases genre-defining bands and kicks off with New Order's sublime 'Thieves Like Us', Eurythmics stunning 'Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)' and Joy Division's era defining 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'. Post-Punk New Wave exploded on to the charts, and The Associates, The Jam, Echo And The Bunnymen, Pretenders, and Siouxsie's side project The Creatures are all included. The U.S. Alt scene provided R.E.M., Pixies, The Psychedelic Furs, and the David Bowie co-write 'Shades' from Iggy Pop. Plus, some of the best written Pop songs ever, represented here by David Sylvian, Marc Almond, Aztec Camera, Pete Wylie & The Mighty WAH!, The Adventures and Tom Robinson. The (still) incredible 'O Superman' from Laurie Anderson opens the second disc, along with other synth-based classics from Yello, Propaganda, Midge Ure & Mick Karn, Japan, Electronic and a brilliant single from Japanese band Sandii & The Sunsetz. The epic 'This Corrosion' from Sisters Of Mercy starts CD3 in grandiose style - and is followed with atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure and a second appearance from Joy Division - before some late '80s Alternative essentials, including Bjork's band The Sugarcubes, Act, The Mission, All About Eve, The Cult's 'Edie (Ciao Baby)', 'This Is England' from The Clash, and The Fall's version of 'There's A Ghost In My House', before closing with two more great examples of U.S. Alt Pop from The Go-Go's, and The Waitresses. Opening with the song that launched one of the defining bands of the era, The Smiths, with 'Hand In Glove' the final CD features a stellar line up of '80s Alternative Chart hits - The Icicle Works, It's Immaterial, B-Movie, Kissing The Pink and Gang Of Four are all featured with timeless singles. Altered Images, Toyah and Adam & The Ants would go on to find huge mainstream success in the early '80s - and we celebrate these artists with their earlier singles. Big Audio Dynamite, Julian Cope and XTC are also included before the collection draws to a close with Latin Quarter's 'Radio Africa' - and Scritti Politti's 1981 single 'The 'Sweetest Girl''. 'NOW - 80s Alternative' - A celebration of a different view of the decade's charts - the lesser-compiled 1980's singles.MPN: CDNNNOW141Release Year: 2023Tracks: Disc 11: Thieves Like Us - New Order2: Beethoven (I Love to Listen To) - Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart3: Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division4: Red Guitar - David Sylvian5: Party Fears Two - The Associates6: Stories of Johnny - Marc Almond7: Oblivious - Aztec Camera8: Come Back - Pete Wylie & The Mighty WAH!9: Broken Land - The Adventures10: Shades - Iggy Pop11: Talk of the Town - The Pretenders12: So.
