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.
Yep! There was a saying once about VU were single handedly responsible for a bunch of bands. Violent Femmes too!
