Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Should the best Song poll ahve the same songs as the worst song poll'or do we take best song nominations here?

Spice Girls - Wannabe will be on any best song poll. so nominate away if you want.

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:21 (fifteen years ago) link

Whats the best All Saints song?
It's gonna be all inclusive!

any song between 1994-99 by a british act.

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:23 (fifteen years ago) link

"Pure Shores" might win my vote overall but it's 2000, shit :(

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:24 (fifteen years ago) link

this thread is almost making me go up in the attic to check out those special free cds (ie. when free cds were still special) that Q gave away from time to time during these years.

in fact, i'm sure there was a brit-pop centric one ?

cant wait for a similar poll in 2018 when we all passionately agree that Does If Offend You.. are the worst band of the nu-rave era.

having said that, if i'm still checking out ILM in 10 more years ..
oh sod it, i know i will.

so, what about Robbies major label backed brit pop support band of the time, Carson ?

did they even manage one hit from their spot in the limelight ?

mark e i think we should make "The SAS..." our earl brutus nomination, agreed?

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:28 (fifteen years ago) link

i prefer the track "your majesty, we are here" but it wasn't a single

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:28 (fifteen years ago) link

mark e, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link

OK well as the house Mansun fan (in MF Gill's absence) I'd like to suggest "Cancer". Then I would like to nominate Cardiacs - "Dirty Boy". Dubstar - "Anywhere". Six By Seven - "European Me". Spz - "Medication" (unless someone REALLY wants "Broken Heart" or something).

mark e i MEANT for the best of!

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Prodigy - Voodoo People
Moloko - The Time is Now

(this is best song)

chap, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:34 (fifteen years ago) link

It is for a best of.

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:35 (fifteen years ago) link

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:35 (fifteen years ago) link

Lost track of what's happening here

Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:36 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

The Cardiacs shouldn't be allowed in the poll, not popular enough

Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:37 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

Also not a 90s band really

Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Is this a "best" poll countdown?

Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:40 (fifteen years ago) link

whatever, their first album was 1988, that isn't exactly remote

Tom D., Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:42 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

best blur single of that period is probably beetlebum

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:44 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

Tricky - Black Steel?

Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:00 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

And change the Dodgy song to something else ffs

Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:02 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link

Dodgy song = So Let Me Go Far, please.
