Who cares if you pissed off country music right-wingers in the late 80s? What we know is that Ingenue's mainstream success kicked the door wide open for the Lilith Fair era. kd lang, we salute you!

You united a divided nation with song, and then you somehow helped The Zutons get a record deal. The Lightning Seeds: a tribute

I'd also forgotten, in my snark, how great a song "Lucky You" is.

This thread needs Like Lovers Do by Lloyd Cole. Still being played in Gap outlets in Eccles.

Actually, the tracklistings from Gap's corporate compilations would be a considerable crib-sheet.

Also: Life of Surprises by Prefab Sprout. Recently heard soundtracking the opening sequence to Hollyoaks. I thought I had Virgin 1215 on instead.

Remember when adult alternative went indie? Mercury Rev do:

Dammit, they don't have Citizen King's "Better Days (And The Bottom Drops Out)", which I always felt was "(Not The) Greatest Rapper"'s jaded older brother.

You see, here I'd cleverly dovetail Mercury Rev's indie/adult alternative crossover with Hepburn's "You know, off the Buffy soundtrack"ness by posting the video for "Teenage FBI". But all Youtube has is ANIME VERSIONS of it. Fuck it:

1000 Clowns- (Not The) Greatest Rapper

Dom, U R my hero. I seriously thought I was the only one who ever saw this video (or heard this song for that matter). I love when his date picks out 1000 Clowns to listen to in the car and this convinces him that the girl is "down."
