Worst Of These Mid-Late 90s UK Bands?

i think with the exception of seahorses (who are one of the worst groups of all time) and longpigs (who i've never heard), all these bands have one song (or more) i like. in most cases it's only one though.

Kula Shaker -- as indefensibly silly as they were -- were WAY better than most of these crappy bands, and Gene's debut was great.

funnily enough esoj, i thought love is the law by the seahorses was good (everything else was crap).
I actually saw the seahorses at the glasgow garage before the single was out. Love Is the Law was the only song anyone had heard.

tbh i can't remember how it goes!

alex otm about gene, love that first album

it sounded like it was off the second coming. I love that album but if you didnt then you wont care for love is the law.

space allowed their keyboardist to write precisely one song ('Piggies')

didn't he get one techno-noodle whoosh-out per album too? I liked Space at the time. They had the schoolkid whose mum let the Teardrop Explodes rehearse in her house in 'em.

haha!

i found the 1st space cd single "neighbourhood" that i got for 50p from Impulse Records in Hamilton. I barely remember it. I mostly rememember female of the species and that horrid track with catatonia.

the ballad of tom jones is funny if you're 13!

im glad i wasnt 13!

Worst Of These Mid-Late 90s UK Bands?

Just wanted to point out that shortly after this sequence of posts I encountered a British counterpart at work who was at this Glastonbury appearance and proclaimed it to be the greatest concert experience of his life; it took everything I had not to laugh in his face what with my memory of this clip.

the seahorses vocalist was by far the worst in britpop

mind you, the worst singing in that clip is the drummer

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the chorus on that Glastonbury link is still fucking hysterical

yeah and the worst part is by the drummer. I thought it was chris helme until i realised he had stopped and it was the drummer who was even more out of tune.

hahaha I am having the exact same reaction I had the first time I played this; WHY IS IT STILL GOING

so you can hear the solo!!

The drummer out of Space died recently, i think. (he was the Teardrops anecdote guy wasn't he?)
heard Catatonia's Road Rage on the radio today, somewhat surprisingly.

who on earth was playing that?

every now and then I stumble across or search out this thread and listen to that wretched Seahorses video

it is always hilarious, and then tedious

you talking about ilx?
