Up All Night - (Mostly) Alternative and Pop-Rock Music - 1980-1984

A collection of mostly alternative tracks from the five-year period of 1980 to 1984. The alternative music scene in this era was dominated by New Wave and Post Punk, and gave rise to many short-lived and one-hit-wonder acts whose sound didn't survive into the late 1980s.
