Tone Zone

Been working on a playlist at 8tracks, which is my most popular YouTube playlist, but it hasn't taken off at 8tracks yet. It originated from a mixtape I made in the early-mid eighties made up of songs from PiL, The Monochrome Set, Felt, Psychedelic Furs and others; it also had a lot of Dub, but I took that out and concentrated on the Post Punk stuff. I also got a lot of good entries from this Post Punk Podcast:

I was also given a suggestion by @kingmussy at 8tracks to add some Raybeats. I love the Raybeats, (great suggestion) but I wanted to add songs that straddled their Surf and NY No-Wave influences so I picked these two, "Tone Zone" and "Big Black Sneakers":

The restrictions at 8tracks prevent you from having more than two songs from the the same band or album in your playlist. These are a few more I could have added:

These are also some of my favorites I wanted to add from other bands, but had to comply with the two-song rule:

I also want to add some Cocteau Twins and have to decide from these selections:

This is a rundown of the playlist Modern Muzak. Any suggestions for additions or subtractions are welcome. I would also be willing to make a personal playlist if you really wanted one.
