Spiritualized 'Medication' -- surely 1995?

No, it was released in its original take/mix as a standalone single towards the end of 1992.

Is it on the 'Compleat Works' thingy (which I own but haven't gotten round to)?

― Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

Yes Enrique, it's on that. I went with it since it was pretty widely available on import and so much of Laser Guided Melodies had been kicking around since early 1990 on singles.

Another good one. INXS' "Not Enough Time" would've been my pick. Also, I think Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" actually charted in '92 due to Wayne's World.

Yeah it was #2 or #3 for most of the Spring if I remember right, but, as with Ce Ce Peniston's "Finally" and KLF's "What Time is Love (America)?", which all charted hugely in '92, I left "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the year it first broke through - it's on the 1975 C700 which is in here somewhere. Shoulda put the thrash version of "3 AM Eternal" on here.

the caff 7" of 'my legendary girlfriend' was released in '92

And was an NME Single of the Week.

Yeah, but the 12 inch was definitely 1990 - and wasn't it THAT which was the NME single of the week. 'Sides, the vinyl only has a live version on it and it's a bit pants.

By which, I mean the 7-inch has a live version that pales in comparison to the real version, as featured on the 12-inch and the Greatest Album of All Time.

re: Chris Ott's post

Excellent, where'd you get that list? i definitely definitely have to agree w/: Curve, Suede, U2, Lush, orbital, and ELECTRONIC! i LOOOOVE "Disappointed", part of why i got the Cool World Soundtrack.

Das Boot! That's a great song.

My friend's older brother came back from germany with that CD and we ended up just randomly spouting things like "I wanna be a Kennedy! I wanna fuck Marilyn Monroe!" at each other for months.

MIA: Blur - Popscene...

― Vasquesz, Wednesday, 7 January 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago) link

Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting" was a '92 single, since I assume "Girlfriend" gets the nod for '91.

four years pass...

yeah, 1992
