Can you explain the difference between Alternative and New Wave? I've always lumped Siouxie and New Order in the same category.

Respect for adding this one.

I’m too lazy for all of these but Every Little Thing She Does is Magic is my favorite mainstream song. The other, B side of the same album is almost spiritual for me. Yes I’m a huge Police fan.

I’ll never forget hearing CDB do Wooley Swamp and In America at halftime of the 1980 bama game in a freaking rainstorm. Vols got shutout that day.
