Now, people are always saying this year and that year is the best year there's ever been for music. And obviously that's a very personal thing, but I will say that the year I'll be focusing on this week's Transmission is one of my all-time favorites, and I look forward to showing you why. Here's a few hints: Depeche Mode, check. The Cure, check. The Smiths, R.E.M., INXS — a Mount Rushmore of classic alternative right there alone. Yes, it is 1987, and we're headed there this week on the show.
