OT : "90s Brit Music Stuff"

Your question is flawed. '90s Brit music? By the '90s America took back the music scene. UK had the '80s, that's it.

But if you want best music from UK in the '90s, well then it would only be:

New Model Army

If it weren't for that band, Bradford would be the most useless plot of land on Earth.


You mention Suede? You've got to be sh!tting us, right? That band SUCKS. They've been making music for close to 25 years and all they could come up with is thirty seconds of worthwhile stuff.

The first 30 seconds of this tune are absolutely brilliant. Pure glorious guitar noise and distortion and then that guitar riff that Keith Richards would kill for. Fantastic dirt and raunch guitar. Love it. I used to blast the hell out of this in my car. But just the first thirty seconds...then I would rewind and play it again. The song itself, like the band, completely sucks.

That's all I need to know about you and your "taste" in music.

Come on, everybody sing along:
"In a champagne supernova. In a champagne supernova in the sky."

Good God

Radio? Uhh, I heard "Champagne Supernova" on TV (MTV), dope.

Oasis? Man, what are you, twelve years old?
Come, everybody sing along:

All my people right here, right now
D'you Know What I Mean? Yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you Know What I Mean? Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good God. You like that sh!t?

Haha, I'm assuming you just googled "Oasis songzz" and ended up there. However, I do agree. The version they did on Letterman (which I have seen years ago, so nice try) is better than the album version. I love how Noel (google him.. You appear to be sufficient in doing so thus far) carried the "Welllll", as opposed to Liam. Wish they did that on the album version. It sounds much better.

And yes, I love "D'you know what I mean ?" (A song that you just discovered minutes ago, and yet are pathetically trying to pass off as a song you've known for years). It blew my freaking mind when I first heard it. I'm also in the minority, but I think "Be Here Now" is a brilliant album. Althought I mean the serious minority,,, As even Noel (Again, google..) has gone on record saying he hated it.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I've totally destroyed you on this topic. But feel free to continue arguing on something you know nothing about.. Reminds me of that sh!tty bar scene in Good Will Hunting.. 'Whatever" (look it up) you say next, I don't care. I'm drunk and tired of this. I leave you now to continue with life. Feel free to post lame desperation replies from here on. I won't bother to reply. 

HOWEVER, Since I had an immense respect for you as a troll on the 'Db, I'm fine with never letting anyone know that I actually defeated you in this very thread. It will be our secret. But you lost. And reply you ever make to me further seals that confirmation. Lol, what ? I'm drunk. Idc.

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. 

I'll leave the definitive answer on this issue with the inspiration to many of the fore-mentioned artists already mentioned..

John William "Paul" Weller, Jr. (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, musician. Weller achieved fame with the punk rock/new wave/mod revival band The Jam. He had further success with the blue-eyed soul music of The Style Council (1983–89), before establishing himself as a solo artist in 1991.

Despite widespread critical recognition as a singer, lyricist, and guitarist, Weller has remained a national, rather than international, star and much of his songwriting is rooted in British culture. He is also the principal figure of the 1970s and 1980s mod revival, and is often referred to as The Modfather.

The Daily Telegraph said of Weller: "Apart from David Bowie, it's hard to think of any British solo artist who's had as varied, long-lasting and determinedly forward-looking a career." The BBC described Weller in 2007 as "one of the most revered music writers and performers of the past 30 years". In 2012, he was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life.

He has received four Brit Awards, winning the award for Best British Male twice, and the 2006 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.

Yes, they were both a little bit before the Britpop era which is why I didn't mention them, certainly Fool's Gold by The Stone Roses was one of the defining tracks of the 90s.

No one has mentioned one of the biggest selling bands of the 90s either, Radiohead, as well as Cast, Primal Scream and a bunch of others who had smaller success.

Love leftfield as well.  I once heard a theory (which I've always believed), that you only have a very short window of a few years when you are young where you can take in and enjoy new genres of music.  Once that window is shut, it's shut, you are stuck with what you like for life.  Just glad I never pigeon holed myself to one genre of music.

Totally agree with you there. I'm stuck in the mid 90's and all the bands I listened to then + PinkFloyd and LedZep.

Think its just Death in Vegas, Zero 7, Groove Armada and Royksopp I got into since the turn of the century. Nothing got my attention over the last 10 years.
