Good work. Sorry, been watching Human Planet. Poll should be up soon! It will be for the BEST band.

I liked them at the time but the tracks I've remembered enough to dig out haven't aged well at all, I think it's fair to say.

^ don't know if Snuff count but this song was fucking great and one of my favourites from the late 80s/early 90s. ONly mention them cos they seem tied up with the whole Senseless Things/Mega City Four scene.

If anyone votes Reef for best I am going to drink several litres of the alcopop of the same name (which I suspect you can't even buy any more, for added 90s retro and also added past-sell-by-ness) and come round and throw up on their carpets.

Not going to include Muse, as they're too big now, or Lostprophets or The Darkness as they're more 00s bands.

did they even get written about in Kerrang? I mean that has to be the baseline requirement right

The Tanya Donnelly bits of that Catherine Wheel song with Tanya Donnelly on are quite good. The Catherine Wheel bits not so much.
Kerrang! probably just excited by the Bruce Dickinson connection.
(Which tangentially reminds me via the lineup of Bruce's solo backing band - what an oxymoron, never mind - do Gun count? I know they were barely rock at all by the time they had a real hit...)
I sorta liked Jacob's Mouse. They wanted to be the British Tar. They didn't quite make it, but still.

Part of that was an xpost. Now it's just confusing. Don't imagine anyone is paying too much attention to my ramblings by this point anyhow.

I think I said somewhere on ILM that the Hyperhead album is the worst album I've ever bought. Mind you I liked my Silverfish album ("Cockeye" iirc) at the time, put it on recently, and christ what a horrible noise.
― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Silverfish singer had a trip-hop album iirc (man there was a lot of trip-hop landfill)
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I suppose Die Cheerleader belong here even though I really liked them and regret selling their cd
Yeah Hyperhead are maybe the only band in history you could accurately describe as sub-Gaye Bykers On Acid

Chap wants a BEST poll. I say WORST poll. What does everyone else think?I think worst is best because it's in the spirit of the britpop/landfill polls. Also I think it will get more votes

Don't think this was too bad. Don't think it was too good either.

There is nothing good about any of these bands so has to be worst

there was a really good american band called Cable and a really bad UK one
Most of these bands are terrible so it has to be worst imo

although I am surprised about the relative warmth itt for its contents compared to the Britpop flotsam

Wonder if anyone would call themselves Cable in this day and age.

Leatherface wrote some bangers tbh and are genuinely respected in certain albeit rarified circles

I like two songs by AC Acoustics :(
I also bought a compilation because it had Tribute to Nothing on once (also for a track by Monkey Boy, who are probably not for this thread but whom I'm sure Matt #2 will have seen, quite possibly in the Camden Underworld) and apparently it contains Muse's first ever track and is accordingly worth some money to some sad bastards. Or was, at one point.
― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link
'Stunt Girl' by AC ACoustics was alright imo
― ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:18 (thirteen years ago) link
think rare Muse stuff sells for nutso smasho prices, if you still have that comp (it's an Organ one, right?) you'll still be quids in I reckon
