Rainy Day 80's Alt

[sunvalleylaw]

Snowing but almost raining here today. Put me in an 80's alt mood. Here are two that I like on a drizzly, grey day.

The Church

Lots of guitar on this album upon re-listening. This is the big hit from the album Starfish.

And a nice recent live version:

The Squeeze - Pulling Mussels from A Shell.

For a Pacific Northwesterner who grew up a short walk from the beach, a very rainy day title.

Big fan of The Church.

Nice to see the original Squeeze lineup complete with Jools there. Reminds me I haven't been to the Dog & Bell in years.

80's alt was perfect timing for me when I was in my 20's. I still like it on occasion.

Unfortunately, I was so focused on it and some of the thrash metal of the day, that I missed some great local shows of SRV, etc.
