Depeche Mode, Social D and Green Day along with one-hit wonders (Kajagoogoo, Len) and music from the Empire Records soundtrack (The The, Edwyn Collins) round out this set of Devo dome hat approved 80s and 90s tunes!
“You’ll never look at music the same way again” said VJ Mark Goodman when MTV launched 37 years ago this week (8.1.81) with videos from The Buggles, Split Enz, The Pretenders, Talking Heads and The Vapors.
Music from the bands who played the first Lollapalooza 27 years ago (Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Violent Femmes, Siouxsie And The Banshees) plus a proper nod to Hello Nasty for this set of classic 80s and 90s tunes.
