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.

Oasis is my all-time favourite band. Nobody will ever be as good as they were. You coulda just ended this thread right there.
But, ughh, fine. I'll try to do this sh!t.
- Most of Blur's entire discography was great. Parklife, Great Escape, And 13 are my faves.
- I love "Urban Hymns" and "forth" by The Verve. The previous two albums were cool, whatever.
- Elastica ? Lol. I can't wait for some sh!tty hipster to try and talk about why the second album is better than the first. WHO THE *bEEP* has heard the second album, anyway ? But, yeh, the debut is great.
- Pulp have one great album, one really good album. I'mma not tell you which is which, and then laugh at you for being a retard and not being able to figure it out for yourself.
- Love Suede's debut. They sounded so raw and pretty. Then Brett Anderson had this weird-ass voice-change, I guess. Kinda affects the following albums, tbh. But whatever, Most of their discography is great so idc lol.
That's about it.

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.

The whole first album is amazing. How can you love "Metal Mickey", yet hate "Animal Nitrate" ? They're pretty much the same song. Except that Animal Nitrate is way better. No sexy girl in the music video tho so duhhhh i guez it suxz. Ass hole.

Oasis is my all-time favourite band. 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

Good God I have adored Oasis for so long that I'm pretty much numb to any criticism they take. Go ahead and call them a sh!tty, bland-ass pussy band. I don't even care. I love them so much. However, I must say, I'm kinda happy that one of the only songs you know by them is "Champagne SuperNova".. It means that you're stuck on the outside, only knowing the crappy "duhhz popular songgz.." and I'm on the inside. Aware of all the beautiful music they produce. Enjoy your life only listening to the radio, loser.

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?

flowerygay, I'll give you a heads up. Oasis had one great moment in their long horrendous career. Before they broke big they played late night American TV - The David Letterman Show - and delivered a brilliant, kick-ass, guitar rocking number. One of the best performances ever on that show. Liam never was cooler, the guitars were never louder, and, yes, that is Bonehead on bass. Killer version. Far better than the recording. Shame. The band had something at one time....but went soft. Too bad they couldn't do it like this all the time.

Too bad they couldn't do it like this all the time. 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.

loads had some catchy tunes - it really went back to beatles chord progression for simple yet very melodic music - with some rawness
oasis sound was great - noel as a lyracist (unless he is speaking to mancs on a level ) which 1 99.99% doubt was pretty poor for his money making music- he just chucks words in for fun.
great lyricists extend a word to fit in or use more vocab to get a point across - ok 99% people still don't get it. But that is where the passion comes from.
BTW some of noels simplest are his best - but also less well known - b side stuff and you can feel he is actually singing about things that mean something to him - also be here now - 100% better lyrically than the first two(whilst nice to listen two)
you wanna tell me what champagne supernova and wonderful is in relation to anything let alone his songs.
pulp good music - good lyrics,
damon albon is a bit of a ledgend tbh - (from blur) - what he has made now is a catalogue of music unsurpassed by the waste majority of front men/bands - he is like a high class producer/song writer.

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.

This remix is the best British song on the 90s, in my opinion:

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 (1983โ89), 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 โ the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover โ 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.

For shame... Nobody has mentioned The Stone Roses, or The Inspiral Carpets ๐ 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.

For me, Suede, then Echobelly.
Went to Donnington as a metal/rock fan in the Summer of 95 and came back as a metal/rock fan. Shortly after with the release of the Playstation(with that amazing Wipeout game) + other stuff ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/imdbv2/imdbsmileys/biggrin.gif) , got into dance music big time. Leftfield was my favourite(Leftism is joint favourite album of all time)act at the time, loved the Chemical Brothers and FSOL too. Liked all the alternative stuff you mentioned too.

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.

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.
