I Could Be Happy - Altered Images

Groovy!

Altered Images were a 1980s Scottish New Wave / post-punk band.

Ex-school friends with an equal interest in the UK post punk scene, Clare Grogan (vocals), Caesar (guitar), Michael 'Tich' Anderson (drums), Tony McDaid (guitar) and Johnny McElhone (bass guitar), sent a demo tape to Siouxsie and the Banshees, who soon gave the band a support slot on their Kaleidoscope tour of 1980. The band's name refers to a sleeve design on the Buzzcocks' single "Promises", and was inspired by Buzzcocks vocalist Pete Shelley's constant interfering with the initial sleeve designs.

my generation sucks...i want a time machine and go back to the 80s

*sigh* If you didn't experience the 80's first-hand...then it's too hard to explain the awesomeness and the feelings of the time. The music was one of the biggest parts of all of it.

This song/band bring back precious memories of the early 80's and a very special person whom I'll never forget. Still remember you and love you Lisa Pace.

I had forgotten about this song. Talk about bringing back memories! The hair, the clothes, the makeup, the dance clubs. It was a great time to be in my 20s!

@missravae

yes, I think pop music was more creative in the 80's than now.  But, as kurt cobain said, wanting to be someone (or somewhere) else is a waste of who you are. Maybe pop music is not where it's at right now, but then, you could always just go out and make something cool yourself or with your friends

This always makes me happy. Reminds me of early MTV.
