I was reading the other thread and thought this might be an interesting topic. And when I mean Alternative I know several of you who will be down with this, when it was truely "alternative" and not the crud they call alternative now.

Here is my top 10 in no particular order. They might not be the bands most popular songs, but If I had an I-Pod with only 10 songs these would be the ones off the top of my head. Also note I am not including Alt-Country, othewise the list would grow exponetially with Unclue Tupelo and Son Volt tunes. I also tried to stay in the 80's otherwise I'd have Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve on the list.

1. Fall on Me-REM
2. The Unforgetable Fire-U2
3. Charlotte Sometimes-The Cure
4. Alison-Elvis Costello
5. Ghost in You-Psychedelic Furs
6. More then This-Roxy Music
7. Bizarre Love Triangle-New Order
8. Killing Moon-Echo and the Bunnymen
9. Blasphemous Rumours-Depeche Mode
10. Love Will Tear Us Apart-Joy Division
