What the press is saying...

"Brilliant - packed with pop hits and charisma and fielding two drummers. Somebody sign them post haste"

- Music Week

I thought that was going to be mumford & sons at first

mumford & sons crossed with the scissor sisters would be a lot of peoples idea of hell

omg the diana news report clip is incredible.

ya the segue is awesome

Anyone remember Strangelove? That name just popped into my head. I used to buy 49p and 99p singles i'd never heard from my local indie shop back then. Im pretty sure I had a strangelove 7" and a fluffy single as well as punka by kenickie on pic disk?

ugh worst band ever

But it seems there's an American band with the same name that is LOL

Thank you.

I was stuck for a week in Mancs in '94 and went to see three bands: two of them were Marion and Geneva, and until now I'd been racking my brane for the third......

I can't for the life of me understand why I did this - I was 33 at the time, certainly no indie brat.

xp re Strangelove

Marion were ok. I saw them at t in the park in 95 i think.

i had a shine compilation with their song on

i am going to ban the living fuck out of you for putting kenickie in this poll

I don't think this band have been mentioned yet.

Truly Horrible song. I used to have both their albums and most of their singles.

When's the 90s UK pop metal poll coming? Some of those bands were pretty good.

Strangelove were pretty good. Brett Anderson was mates with them and does backing vocals on their album Love & Other Demons. The guitarist actually ended up being in Suede when Neil Codling left for the last album, the peak Suede years.

Brett was also a massive fan of Jack, he definitely favoured the gloomy indie bands.

Chap go for it

why is number one cup on this list? what do they have to do with "post britpop", seeing how they were a p trad american mid 90s indie band?

This still sounds great, brilliant chorus.

Most notable omission: Shed Seven

I can remember almost all these bands, I used to do my homework with the Evening Session on and they loved all this stuff. Bands I liked at least one song by at the time: 3 Colours Red, Marion, Dodgy, Gene, Echobelly, Kenickie, Menswe@r, Silver Sun... I think Marion are the only ones I still own anything by (7" of 'Sleep' on orange vinyl!) though. Worst of the lot has to be Midget though - a more juvenile, tune-free Symposium (who were in turn a more juvenile, tune-free Ash).

Does Republica belong here? they were always played on the evening session as they had guitars!

M@tt: the song 'Divebomb' by Number One Cup got a lot of evening radio rotation on its release and was probably also on these comp CDs which mostly featured the bands itt

nakh said he took the list from somewhere else so I think it was just a trick of the memory

Depends how many I can remember...

Therapy?
Wildhearts
Headswim
Terrorvision
Senser (if they count)
Kerbdog (think they were Ulster boys, though might've been ROI)

Who else? China Drum maybe?

yeah i subcontracted the listmaking duties to someone else, so liability accepted for any unwanted clementines found in your bespoke box of dead cockroaches

Chap take 50 noms from
How do the various members of Terrorvision spend their time these days?

Oh man, I had the Thurman album. They were local... I thought I had to...

chap: Joyrider? Skyscraper, or am I the only person who remembers them?

For the pop metal poll:

Honeycrack
Skunk Anansie
Dub War (maybe not pop enough)

OH GOD NO NOT REPUBLICA THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR NOW

I have no memory of that catch single, it's weirdly creepy. LOL@ youtube comment:

Good song, but he sung it too camp.
I'd bum him though.

Feeder (not sure if they're for the rawk list or should've been on this one but ugh)

lol pash

Thanks fellas, noms going on here now:

How do the various members of Terrorvision spend their time these days?

a lot of these guys went into a&r i'd bet, hence landfill 00s

the bands listed in the poll are like lammo's children really. the vast outpouring of popular art coming from the evening session's 10-year lock on national radio promo for new bands.

This is an astounding thread

carp attack

looooool

'Quattro Formaggi' is such a peerlessly classic name for an anonymous 90s remix

Is there already a thread for britpop remixes?

cos I fuckin loved that shit. proto bloghouse hypem culture, or something.

the manics had dust brothers/chemical brothers remixes that were really good.

yeah they were good. I liked mu-ziq remixing the auteurs too (and Haines' subsequent comments).

Therapy? had a really good Photek remix done on 'em, got me into jungle that did.
