Song of the day - Candy Says by the Velvet Underground
There isn’t a sadder or more beautiful song ever recorded.
After profound inspection of this band I must say that you gotta listen to this song in particular. It captures all the highs of a 2010s indie band while being more than 50 years older than them.
Underrated 80’s Alternative Bands You Need to Listen To:
bc the 80s weren’t all just discos and legwarmers right?
The Replacements ~ a true underground band that’s wayyyy too underrated. just check them out
Minutemen~ that kind of effortless singing and basic riffs that just make really good, politically motivated music (lol)
The Feelies ~ nerdy, catchy stuff. for a reference, if weezer was a little older and was more punk
Mission of Burma ~ punk/alternative stuff, weird (but good) time shifts and piercing chords that aren’t basic or repetitive
The Cramps ~ super creepy but catchy music, it’s really unique garage-rock stuff
Gang of Four ~ part of the early punk movement, lots of political tunes with strong guitar/drum solos
The Dream Syndicate ☁️~ rock/alternative with a little bit of 80s pop elements included. super good guitar riffs and unique vocals
Meat Puppets ~ this is a mean emoji. but this band encompasses all aspects of rock and punk which makes really catchy and head banger music
