I don’t know, most of my knowledge of indie rock is pretty regional. I wasn’t closely following European indie at the time that’s for sure. I think Regulate is pretty great really, maybe not the greatest but definitely an excellent production. The lyrics are ok.

dEUS was a great band, on the arty end of the indie/alt rock spectrum but still with enough hooks to be staples of alt-rock radio playlists.

Those solo Wu-Tang joins came out in the mid '90s iirc, and, well does 1994 count as mid '90s? A couple of classics that year....

Ha, I was thinking about doing one for the 00's, which for me is an overlooked decade sandwiched between the 90s and 10s which I consider almost equally amazing decades for music.

This feels about right:1. Ghost Town DJs "My Boo"2. SWV "Right Here (Human Nature)"3. Aaliyah "One In A Million"4. Notorious BIG "Juicy"5. The Pharcyde "Passin' Me By"6. Radiohead "Let Down"7. Pavement "Grounded"8. Adina Howard "Freak Like Me"9. Blur "Coffee + TV"10. Teenage Fanclub "Everything Flows"
"Electric Relaxation" or Dino Jr's "Out There" should probably be in there but idk what to cut.
Looks not very well aligned with my top 90s scrobbles since 2014:1. Heatmiser "You Gotta Move"2. Hum "Comin' Home"3. Failure "Undone"4. Floor "Chelsea/Pigs"5. Tony Toni Tone "Feels Good"6. Shudder To Think "Earthquakes Come Home"7. The Pharcyde "Passin' Me By"8. Ween "Baby Bitch"9. A Tribe Called Quest "Electric Relaxation"10. Cannibal Corpse "Sentenced To Burn"

Bjork's Unravel is an amazing track
― Dan S, Sunday, 26 September 2021 03:37 (two years ago) link
I have serious trouble picking the best track from Homogenic, there’s so many classics in there. I think the only track that I tend to skip is “all neon like”, but I’ve been obssesed about every other track in there. There was a time where I’d have picked Pluto or Alarm Call. Then 5 Years was the one… I haven’t listened to it in years but I’d say from a diatance that Joga and Unravel are the two that seem to me like the safer choices for best songs. I’d probably change my mind if I hear the album again.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 26 September 2021 04:01 (two years ago) link
Oh and Hunter! Such a weird choice for a single, love it. Love the video, love the sort of martial beat. “How Scandinavian of me.” Yeah it’s a brilliant album.

I was supposed to work on a top 200 some months back and I've left it in the works, so I'll pretend I still need to pare it down and allow myself double the space.

― Nabozo, Sunday, 26 September 2021 18:35 (two years ago) link
Hearing the Vulnicura live version of All Neon Like on YT made me return to it. It's the most Vespertine-like song on the album. My usual choice from Homogenic was Immature - which is this moment of solipsism, of crying and shouting and tearing the cocoon and loving it, power in vulnerability. Jóga, Unravel and Bachelorette are gorgeous but slightly demonstrative. I've never considered 5 years top Björk material - it's the beat... But that's redoing the poll all over again.
