(xp I should probably point out before someone else does that I'm British and didn't read Sassy at the time and don't get things, so feel free to fill me in on the so-90s ironic ~context~ but maybe my post can stand as a self-clowning edifice without anyone needing to do it for too many posts)

I hated pretty much everything about Sassy at the time but this list still hits the nostalgia button hard

BTW, is that Barbara Manning in November 93. I'm guessing it has to be?

I have no clear idea of what Sassy actually was, but it is striking how not especially grunge this list is for its era
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Sunday, 4 January 2015 02:05 (nine years ago) link
Quicksand
You should listen to Slip immediately.

Ok!
Shouldn't have to add to my last comment but I will that the lack of non white folks is obviously even more striking, but you know that already

Many xp's to dlp9001 -- I still have a copy of that reader-produced issue! My sister won a spot too, in the art dept. She did some construction paper cutout illustrations for it. I was in school in NYC so she came out to stay for a few days and we visited the mag's office and met everyone. Good times! Sorry about your tonsillectomy.
I definitely remember that Sassy/Sire sampler kicking around my sister's tape collection.

You will never see the Beautiful South look as conspicuous in any poll ever again.

I have a physical copy of the sire sampler (inspiration for the poll), where would one u/l an mp3 in 2015?

I remember seeing beautiful south cds prominently displayed in a best buy in new jersey in 1995 and thinking that they might be a band that I should get around to checking out at some point. Have yet to do so. Even at the time they somehow looked remaindered at full price
