I would recommend going to your favorite used music store (where they sell used CD's) looking in the compilations area and buy any CD from the Rhino New Wave series, stuff on the Oglio label (Richard Blade Series), most anything on the SPG label (Hardest

You could try some UK indie from the mid-80's - visit my site at www.indie-mp3.co.uk to download a few.

Sorry - I couldn't resist the shameless plug!
