Fun Shit from the 90s

I predict a resurgence of these acts/styles/trends in the next few years

Any others I have missed?

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Carter USM! The Wonderstuff!

I feel like i'm back at school again...

[kaiser soze]

Oh yeah...we may be "old", but our generation's music was awesome

Live, James, and Lush were some others I dug/still dig

[Yorkshire~Rose]

'Ladykillers' by Lush is one of my favourite songs (still) :)

what a great fucking thread topic, used to love loads of these bands. Unbelievable is a fuckin great song, do you remember when tom jones did a version with them? (www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ioT2WUbf_g)

More??

Frank and Walters
Mega City Four
Ride
New Fast Automatic Daffodills

used to love neds, my friend always used to sing "sopay titwank" instead of soap for sore eyes whenever he heard kill your television.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Ride


:eek:(y) I'd forgotten all about them! I loved the 'Today Forever' EP - i had it on cassette...it had a picture of a shark on it if my memory serves me well.

New FADS were great too.

[kaiser soze]

It was definitely a great era for music, skater pop, expansion of industrial/EDM (Nitzer Ebb anyone?), goth, pseudo hippy stuff like World Party, grunge, hardcore, ska, college rock.

120 Minutes and CFNY out of Toronto kicked ass

It's odd to see some of the bands that most likely inspired these acts are the ones still relevant (The Cure, R.E.M. The Pixies, Sonic Youth, U2, Chili Peppers)

has anyone mentioned PWEI yet. class.

[kaiser soze]

oh yeah!

Pop Will Eat Itself...definitely good shit. I bought Dos Dedos Mis Amigos when cd longboxes will still being used.

Talking harder stuff....how about Helmet and Suicidal Tendencies (more of the skater side of me)

It was funny, we'd warm up a night with some drinking music like Lowest of the Low, go see Snapcase, and drive home listening to 10,000 Maniacs

we were quite a musically mixed crowd

Presidents of The United States of America
PWEI
Pulp
Alice in Chains
Jesus and Mary Chain
Pixies
Killing Joke
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Cranberries
Portishead
Lightning Seeds

i think you had to be there. i pretty much exclusive listened to aerosmith and bon jovi until 1996, so it all passed me by, except when i saw the indie chart on the chart show. so i didnt really listen to any of that stuff until a few years ago when my housemate got all his tapes back from his parents house. and i didnt enjoy it. pwei was pretty funny. the rest. hmm...

Might as well toss in Soundgarden and Nirvana

They Might Be Giants were pretty strong in the 90s, Smashing Pumpkins really picked up steam as well.

snub tv and rapido. saw some great bands for the first time on those shows. The verve when they were just verve, heard "loaded" by the scream for first time on snub tv.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

yeah, but i'm not saying bon jovi are good! :)

anyhoo, i wasnt being serious, and people are talking about bands i do like now, so lets talk about the chart show instead.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TKfwyuzvYeQ

[gbsuey]

i think i may have done too-used to rush to school next day to talk about new bands!! rapido! Was that Antoine de Caunnes?

No-one's mentioned Loop yet-amazing!

i found an old vid with b-boys special from the o-zone i think it was but so far as i remember that was mostly shite.

The Fall doing Dead Beat Descendant on Snub was fab too

[Guy Incognito]

yeah, but i'm not saying bon jovi are good! :)

i was only pulling your leg.

that chart show was the best pop programme, no presenters and lots of exposure to different music. i remember when indie chart was just about independent record labels and you used to get someone like the pixies at number two behind kylie minogue cos PWL was independent.

good clip that.

the boo radleys were seriously brilliant but went a bit poppy and yer man who wrote all the songs had a brian wilson complex. giant steps and come on kids are two fantastic albums.

[MCScoobyT]

A little later in the 90's
Local H
Sponge
Toadies

[b-grrrlie]

^^^ Never heard of those, but the rest have always been rotated on my record player
(except Neds, was never into them... and always hated Cranberries).
JAMC were one of my biggest favourites, but they were more (late) '80's for me, as quite a few of the mentioned here...

Telescopes
Spacemen 3
Mock Turtles even...

[gbsuey]

god i love the telescopes. just the whole guitar noise thing. when i saw my bloody valentine in the summer they did just about my fave track of all music ever and in the middle of it just played about ten minutes of feedback guitar screaming noise-was amazing. When they played in London it was more like half an hour of it-might have pissed me off after a while!

Another great 90's band-Candy Flip!!

[camo]

ha ha yeah I remember them and the singer with his lisssssp (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4DjWpq8Oyoc)

Such a trippy track.

the mock turtles first album is a piece of genius, loved the mary chain as well.

house of love anyone? "the beatles and the stones" by them is a thing of sheer brilliance

Yeah I was gonna write Mock Turtles first album actually....

and just loved loved loved House of Love!
The first album didn't leave my record player for weeks when it came out.

Actually I've been re-arranging my record collection during Christmas and New Years so quite a few nostalgic moments have been had... :o

[Guy Incognito]

stuggling now to think of more, anything else is just barrel scraping

[kaiser soze]

how about

Utah Saints, Urban Dance Squad, and Temple of the Dog....some of the best 1 hit wonders of the 90s

[yeahwho]

and just loved loved loved House of Love!
The first album didn't leave my record player for weeks when it came out.


The house of Love still stands as one of the biggest surprises and best live acts I saw all of 90's, and I saw them all... I lived downtown Seattle through the whole grungy thing and a major act played every night.

The House of Love played a small nightclub with only about 40 people there, they put all 40 of us on notice, it could of been a stadium show, they where magnificent! I've always been perplexed why they never garnered more attention.

Wedding Present-another band i finally got to see last year. David Gedge seemed like a miserable old bugger way back then but now....!
And i was kidding about Candy Flip, although i did like the song when it was out!! Nice one for the link camo-i was too lazy to find it

[b-grrrlie]

How could I forget the Fannies? Jeez!!!

Guess I gotta start going through my record collection...
hmmm... Whatabout

An Emotional Fish
Darling Buds
Lemonheads
Pale Fountains (or are they earlier?)
Popsicle
Primitives
Rain Parade
has anyone mentioned Stone Roses?
Swervedriver
Woodentops

at least, I've got too many singles to go through, but I do have two Candflip 12".... :o

[Guy Incognito]

has anyone mentioned Stone Roses?



Well i didnt think to cos they are above all mentioned so far, they will always be my number one, so i didnt mention them or the mondays for that matter.

[kaiser soze]

oh shit, I think you mean The Happy Mondays!

And I'm still digging the Lemonheads

Fishbone, Afghan Wigs, Frank Black (y)

[AceFace]

camo brought up PULP. i've been ALL about them lately. they've always been a favorite, but they've come back to the front for me.

[kaiser soze]

By any chance are you a fan of Suede as well?

[Drederick Tatum]

it's still too early for 90s nostalgia.

[kaiser soze]

No

[Guy Incognito]

it's still too early for 90s nostalgia.

90's nostalgia is soooooooooooooooo 1980's

[AceFace]

By any chance are you a fan of Suede as well?
YES! haven't listened in years! gonna break that out tonight, for sure.

[yeahwho]

Suede and The Auteurs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE7Vzcpthbc&feature=related).

[DroppinScience]

it's still too early for 90s nostalgia.

I've spent a lot of the 2000s thinking that (literally the day after New Year's Day 2000 some circles started getting nostalgic for the '90s :rolleyes:), but it's 2009 dude. There are kids in school right now who don't even remember the day (and may not have even been born!) when Kurt Cobain died, so I think its time is due to start reminiscing.

(y)

such a strange story that band has. i dont want this too sound corny, but they were one band that left behind more than music. The whole catalogue deletion and all the stunts especially the big one ,left an impression on me and others. There's a book at the major incident but i have never read it. They were massive in publicsing sampling and doing it all yourself, in uk anyway. Top top band, i didnt think about them for this thread, i dont necessarily consider them to be in this company, they were pretty unique. not heard that tune for ages though, nice one

[RobMoney$]

You seem to be way more into them than I ever was.
I have no clue about half the stuff you're on about with that post.

well type klf or k foundation into wikipedia for the full story but here's the short version of why they were ace.

1) Had a number one record without any airplay, using lots of other peoples records way before it was the norm
2) Wrote a book explaining exactly how they did it which gave a list of tips on how to basically take your favourtie records, a sampler and make a hit record, once you have read its quite easy to see that some records in the 90's used this formula
3) made a great album called chill out that was all sheep sounds, ambient noises and clips of elvis' in the ghetto
4) At the height of their success, they deleted all their back catalogue and disbanded in the name of art over cash.
5)They then called themsleves the k foundation and wrote a song they refused to put on general release until world peace was established
6) Killed a sheep live in stage at the brit awards.
And last but no means least:
7) Invited a group of journos, musicians and friends to watch the two band members BURN A MILLION POUNDS WORTH OF THEIR OWN MONEY by hand. Thats what the book was about. It was no fake stunt, they really did it.

that wasnt really a very short version, sorry

[cypressphil]

Senser -Age of Panic. Good times.

Man, Senser, were great and still are!! They're releasing a new album this year! I believe Neds Atomic Dustbin did a new track a year or two back, they were great back in the day!

No ones mentioned Senseless Things, loved them.

Incidentally I went to the same school as the singer of Jesus Jones!

What about Sheep on Drugs? And Sultans of Ping FC? Wheres me jumper!:)

[TAL]

6) Killed a sheep live in stage at the brit awards.

No. They shot with a machine gun filled with blanks after the song was over. "The KLF have now left the music business" thing was said, since they disbanded and deleted their back catalogue a few months later (only in the UK though). Then they got a sheep from a butcher and delivered it to a Brit Awards afterparty.

ah well, i was close with that one - i have no idea how successful they were in other countries and if that means only deleting in the uk (which i didnt know) still makes a bit of money then fair do's, they were always full of clever stunts. i need to read that book.

[TAL]

Get this one instead (or both)

That was with Extreme Noise Terror, brilliant band. Also note the persistent use of conspiracy theory winks and nudges: Justified Ancients of Mumu = JAMS.

[kaiser soze]

Pj Harvey and Portishead....still solid shots to the gut today

[skra75]

I always liked Ride and My Bloody Valentine which were also from that whole fun-time manchester era. I really loved the Soup Dragons back in the day. Good lord they are so unlistenable now (Soup Dragons are... but Ride still rock).

[scotty]

Ooh....the 90's....what can I say?

Aussie stuff: Magic Dirt, Spiderbait, Regurgitator, Sidewinder, Budd, Sandpit, Something for Kate, Front End Loader, Powdermonkeys, God, Hoss, Bored!, Asteroid B-612, TISM, Ed Kuepper, Screamfeeder, Custard, The Dirty Three, The Meanies, Cosmic Psychos, The Hard-Ons, Tumbleweed, Def FX, The Fauves, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Smudge

(or was it '!'), Sugarcubes, The Pixies, The Lemonheads, Blues Explosion

There are many others, but that'll do to go with

This morning Chris Moyles played that annoying 'Trouble' song by shampoo (http://www.geocities.com/absoluteshampoo/), bloody shite!

[Guy Incognito]

^ oh ho..

thought of another band, kingmaker, they were like a wannabe wonderstuff if i remember rightly.

[b-grrrlie]

Therapy? (or was it '!')

?

[hpdrifter]

Wow I even replied. Okay finally got round to dling some songs.

Ps I am posting from my iPod fools

[NicRN77]

I loved and still love Ned's. They have been doing a few shows here and there in the UK. Super jealous of you over there!! I did purchase the live DVD/CD they put out last year.
