Whats the best All Saints song? It's gonna be all inclusive!
any song between 1994-99 by a british act.

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

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
Right nominate song songs from 1994-1999 please.

― 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

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 13:42 (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

Catherine Wheel - Delicious
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 13:55 (fifteen 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.

― 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.
