Cool NME et al journos back in the 90s had their paid opinions but I wanna know what you think.
For me, Suede, then Echobelly.
Suede, still going strong, encompassed all manner of afternoon kitchen sink/late night alleyway city suburb diversity in their lyrics, coupled with a mix of slow, fast and inbetween intricate instrumentation to suit particular lyrics. Brett Anderson, save for Nick Cave, remains the total front man to this day, lanky, probing, a total Duracell on stage.
Echobelly seemed to have been missed by quite a few but produced some really good tracks, pure pop wannabe-Suede sometimes, but somehow retaining a listenability to this day.
Suede totally dumbfound the Brits Awards audience 1993
Echobelly : "King of the Kerb"
Who do you like? Waterboys? Blur? Verve? Elastica? Pulp? Oasis? Shed Seven? Pulp? Space? I mean, there's loads.
If this was Ameri-Pop 90s I'd go for Mazzy Star and Sophie B, to start the ball rolling. I was 13 in 95, and there were loads of great bands. Think it was the first time I liked anything other than Michael Jackson and the occasional dance hit. Yep that was the year Stan really got into his music. Apart from the bands you've already mentioned, there was Ash, Ocean Colour Scene, Dodgy, The Charlatans, Sleeper, Black Grape, Manic Street Preachers, Supergrass, Super Furry Animals, the list was endless. You're never gonna beat all that again. Plus you had stuff like The Prodigy, Sneaker Pimps, Chemical Brothers, Roni Size, Orbital, Leftfield, Massive Attack. The explosion of Trance, UK Garage and to a lesser extent DnB and Trip Hop. Yep you're never gonna beat the mid to late 90s in the British music scene. What did America have, the grunge scene? Nirvana? Shite! Plus of course you had the TFI Friday show which almost encapsulated the Brit Pop era. Right show at the right time! Those were the days. I almost get a sinking feeling in my stomach when I think back because you're never going to better than that again.
