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.

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.
Oh ok, well I'm all for Lazarus then.
― Just got offed, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:03 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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"

but please nominate some pop
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:06 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link
Massive Attack perhaps ought to be Risingson.
― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 14:08 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago) link
Probably should put some Beautiful South and M People songs in as there's fans of them on ILM

It's one poll Stereophonics wont win on ILM. Maybe the Bluetones will walk that one ;)
Seriously, why did no-one vote Bluetones?
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link
because they were too inoffensive to be truly awful. and 'are you blue or are you blind', 'slight return' and 'if' have their enduring charms.
― CharlieNo4, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link
They said that about M People.

But he didn't like the Bluetones
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 21:46 (fifteen years ago) link
disliking the bluetones and not hating them as much as you hate reef/OCS/stereophonics are not the same thing. I can't imagine a world with reef in it where someone hates the bluetones more. perhaps if there were a ranking systems rather than an OPO situation, it might have been different. but hey, that's polls for you. if a thread with 300+ answers doesn't explain stuff, maybe polls aren't the way to settle this shit?

^ ignore grammatical errors there, my abilities in that area disappeared along with my will to live somewhere upthread.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 21:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I actually thought Bluetones were worse than Reef. Each to their own I guess.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link
But presumably you thought someone else was worse still. you didn't vote for them, why assume someone else is going to?
― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 23:12 (fifteen years ago) link
do you understand how polling even works?
― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link
obviously not :)
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 5 June 2008 13:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually I've just been reminded why I hated The Bluetones. They were on the cover of Raw Magazine when it changed from an open minded Heavy Rock/Alternative/Metal mag to a full on Britpop mag. I loved that magazine and it lasted about 2 or 3 issues tops because of that change, and The Bluetones symbolizes the whole thing for me just like Limp Bizkit on the cover of the last Melody Maker does for others. Obviously that's just for me though and no reason why anyone else should have voted Bluetones.
