Bel Biv Devoe "Poison" - Yes.
A Tribe Called Quest "Electric Relaxation"Souls Of Mischief "'93 Til Infinity" - Yesss.
Ween "Baby Bitch" Jackpot!
I realize that I also neglected to mention Future Sound of London. I would really have to go with "Q" (as Mental Cube). Ah, screw it, "Papau New Guniea" is their best song but the other one's really good too.

I've never heard of this magnet magazine you speak of but in any case I think the real question you're trying to ask here is:
Since when did magnet magazine stopped caring about awesome music? And also at which point did I became such a jaded and pedantic person that feels the need to oppose idealisticaly the almost perfect homogeneity and righteousness of the hivemind.

hmm, that Pram track is from the 00's, so it seems. I'll change that to "Pram - 'Chrysalis'" then.

This is very, very difficult.

OK, deliberately limiting myself to one track per 'artist':
1) Ride - Close My Eyes (Ride EP, 1990)2) My Bloody Valentine - Off Your Face (Glider EP, 1990)3) Slowdive - Slowdive (Slowdive EP, 1990)4) Boo Radleys - Foster's Van (Boo Up! EP, 1991)5) Telescopes - Ocean's Drive (untitled album, 1992)6) Aphex Twin - Ageispolis (Selected Ambient Works 85-92, 1992)7) PJ Harvey - Plants and Rags (Dry, 1992)8) Hardfloor - Acperience 5 (1993? - I got it in 94)9) Stereolab - French Disko (1993? - heard it on the radio then, but got it in 96)10) Blur - Badhead (Parklife, 1994)
I seem to have used up my ten in half the decade...

it must have made it a little easier to have everyone on your list be from the same general geographical region.

What - Europe?

Should really include Dee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart as well.

they all make me think of england. though they are not all from there. i actually have no idea where hardfloor is from. and boards of canada are from canada, right?. same queen anyway.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:26 (1 month ago) Permalink
Hardfloor were German. Motorbass were French, I think. I might be wrong, but I think Boards of Canada are/were Scottish.
Re: selections - Ride could easily have been Seagull or Chelsea Girl instead. My Bloody Valentine should probably have been Soon, but that's just too obvious. Boo Radleys could easily have chose something off of Giant Steps, but I really like that earlier EP. Telescopes could have been You Set My Soul instead. Aphex Twin could easily have been any of about 20 tracks from SAW I, SAW II and I Care Because You Do. Blur could have been Beetlebum. Motorbass is kind of cheating choosing two tracks, but they run straight from one to the other and I think of them as one thing.

or they make me think of english music magazines anyway. not criticizing! just saying, it would be easier to make a list of music if you excluded, like, 80% of the world from it.

I had a whole load of Sri Lankan jazz and Nigerian skiffle bubbling under my top 13.

replacing "Come to Me" with "Possibly Maybe", and "Humpty Dance" with "93 til Infinity".
