So many great 80's songs and covers in this series. Which song was your fave?

I watched the credits on the first episode all the way through, just so I could listen to Love Will Tear Us Apart!

What is the name of the slow song from the winter formal that Clay and Hannah danced to?

This is my new favorite song. I'm so glad you posted it.

Loved hearing The Call. "And the Walls Came Down." Too brief a sample though.

"Fascination Street" by the Cure was another unexpected choice.

I just finished Episode 10 and was thrilled to hear "The Stand" by the Alarm at the end, but dismayed again that it was just a fragment. Still miffed at Stephen King for not using it in the TV miniseries of "The Stand," as the credits were rolling or whatever. Maybe he doesn't like the song (which would indicate a character flaw, IMHO).

The wimpy cover of Joy Division's "Atmosphere" in this ep was like a watered down drink, irritating and unsatisfying. Reminiscent of that "Mad World" cover from some years back.

I still use cassettes in the car because I prefer them to anything else, but also because they are a relic of better, simpler times. So that element of the series hits home for me. Alas, my last boom-box broke a couple years ago and I haven't gotten round to getting a new one. And yes, I still have a Walkman too.
