Are we allowed album tracks BTW? I'm assuming not.

Nah keep to singles
Lost track of what's happening here
― Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ok well make the mansun choice "being a girl parts 1 & 2" and the cardiacs choice "manhoo" ;_;
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link
The Cardiacs shouldn't be allowed in the poll, not popular enough
― Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link
they have the most devoted cult following in british indie :P
also "manhoo" is pure britpop, done better
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Also not a 90s band really
― Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Is this a "best" poll countdown?
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:40 (sixteen years ago) link
whatever, their first album was 1988, that isn't exactly remote

― Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Was gonna say Live Forever, it's the only Oasis song I can put up with.
Pearls Girl is better than Born Slippy.
― chap, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
best blur single of that period is probably beetlebum
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Catherine Wheel - Delicious
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Gonna restate Dubstar - "Anywhere", Six By Seven - "European Me", Cardiacs - "Manhoo" (or maybe "Bellyeye" or "Odd Even" if someone feels like objecting), and Mansun - "Being A Girl Parts 1&2", and then leave it at that.

needs more pop etc
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:57 (sixteen years ago) link
i wish the lex was here. Dom can you pretend to be him and nominate some brit stuff?
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Tricky - Black Steel?
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Um, Lazarus by The Boo Radleys, please. Ride The Tiger, Louis? It's nice enough, but... LAZARUS.
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh wait - make the Gomez song "Whippin' Piccadilly" :D
Lazarus predates the poll, NICK! I was gonna suggest it.
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link
And change the Dodgy song to something else ffs
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Change Primal Scream's to Kowalski.
Lazarus got re-released and charted in 1994. I also think given the existence of Modern Life Is Rubbish that 1993 should be the start date.
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Dodgy song = So Let Me Go Far, please.
Oh ok, well I'm all for Lazarus then.
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't approve of your SFA choice, Kerr. Make it Blerwytirhwng? to keep the Welshies happy. :D
Dom can you pretend to be him
Fighting talk there.
― Pashmina, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah ok Lazarus can go in then if it did get a re-release. Im not sure about changing dodgy. Staying Out For The Summer can go in as long as its 1994
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link
u gonna get yr ass kicked by lex AND dom!
Also plz to change "The Drugs Don't Work" to "Bittersweet Symphony"
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link

but please nominate some pop
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Madonna - Ray Of Light might as well be British. What about William Orbit - Water From A Vine Leaf?
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Massive Attack perhaps ought to be Risingson.
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe, but Protection was their big, mid-90's signature song.
Probably best to stick to best known songs.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Probably should put some Beautiful South and M People songs in as there's fans of them on ILM
