I have to agree with Dell, a very poor decade for music the 90's was.

There was decent stuff out in the 90s, that compilation of what seems to be American pop videos is not a fair reflection at all.

Good one. They didn't get on either did they?

I'm going to go and watch some old Suede videos on YT now...

No they didn't. Although I think they made up a few years back and released another single.

The 90's was a great decade for music,all decades recently have had good music though.

I've never liked the Chilis all that much, but they do have some songs I think are great, Under The Bridge is probably my favourite of theirs, I think John Frusciante is an amazing guitarist.

I was also going to remind Dave of their non-Britishness, but it seems I've been beaten to it.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:00:34
the 90s was probably the worst decade for music all round. except maybe the fifties.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: michael on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:03:40
The 80's were worse, unless you are into yer hair metal.

The 90's were massively eclectic, more so than any other, and perhaps the last decade of true innovation.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:10:28
music was better in the US during the 90s...

the 80s had some of the greatest stuff of all time - the jam, minor threat, early r.e.m., the smiths...

it's impossible to define decades as musical eras after the 60s really. there's plenty of new and innovative music around still.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s

You're right Youth, I couldn't imagine music history without Status Quo and Bananarama.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:27:52
Although Status Quo were more successful in the 70s weren't they?

That sort of makes my semi-ironic statement a bit pointless


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: michael on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:40:44
How about Genesis?

Stuff they had out in the 70s was largely brilliant, then the 80s came around and they became shite.

Must have been something in the water in that decade.


Title: Re: Best British songs of the 90s
Post by: michael on Sunday, September 7, 2008, 00:43:04
Actually I am basing my Genesis example on hearsay.

I am not at all familiar with their output.

The music you remember the most and love is normally in the era when you were a 'youth' or when you went out a lot 'dancing or whatever you call it these days', not in every case of course because some older classics never die.
So the music I will always love will be late 60s, 70s especially and early 80s.

british soul at its best, carleen anderson once dj at my club and sang live over this song, i had some headphones on as i was djing and had just her vocal dead loud in my ears, without doubt one of the highlights of my life, it was like having an angel in my ear, fucking incredible voice.

That pretty much sums it Dell, and SY is correct with his points too IMO.

Brilliant shout Si, one of my personal 90's favourites that.

If we're talking the prodigy (as gazzza was) I prefer the earlier stuff.
