For anyone who would like a crash-course in this sub-genre (affectionately known as "alternative" or "college" rock), I highly recommend "Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground". It's a 4 CD set that is actually quite well done.
Yes, I already own the orignal CD / LPs for many of the bands on this compilation, but it's been forever since I heard "Punk Rock Girl" by The Dead Milkmen or "We Care a Lot" by Faith No More. I had a discount coupon at B&N and had to snatch it up.
I was at Half-Price Books and snagged 6 Sisters of Mercy singles on CD for $1.98 each (unfortunately the Lucretia single has a flaw in the disk during Train (long) - it's killing me).
