There's an easy way to bridge the gap here. Punk and Post-punk cover
76-84 and is, imho, the most fertile ground for musical
experimentation across the globe. I am STILL finding things from this
period that I missed or dismissed (like the Associates and early
Ultravox - wow!, or weird Australian and New Zealand bands). I make a
concerted effort to avoid old-fogeyisms like "it was better in my
day", I listen to new bands and find things to support (plug for
Twilight Sad and Archie Bronson Outfit) but there is some stuff from
the 76-84 period that's still unique. And the Aeroplanes are one of
them.
