fudge tunnel were great. but pitchshifter did go really poppy so merit inclusion and its going to be a worst poll.

don't see a lot of convergence between reef, pitchshifter and the 80s matchbox bla

Rachel Stamp were formed in 1994 when David Ryder-Prangley met Will Crewdson before recruiting Cliff Harris and Mike Rowe.

......................

In 2010, Will Crewdson and David Ryder-Prangley have been playing alongside Adam Ant for performances around London. Crewdson is also currently working with a band called LIVAN, fronted by Greek-born musician Cosmas Livanos.[1]

You still haven't listed Skyscraper! It is a conspiracy! Just because apparently nobody else remembers their existence...

dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

I remember Skyscraper actually being pretty good, is my memory deceiving me?

Neil S, Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link

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

^ Somewhat more embarrassingly, I heart this song too. Dunno if you're allowing fraggle though

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link

Swervedriver maybe?

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link

I liked Skyscraper (or at least i had 1 or 2 singles)

remember X-CNN? lol

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link

neds didnt get covered but Swervedriver did
SO DID CATHERINE WHEEL as they went RAWK

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link

chap please dont do best band do worst (or both)

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link

Jacob's Mouse

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:03 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Done Lying Down
Rosa Mota
Hyperhead
Daisy Chainsaw
Some Have Fins
Silverfish
Bivouac
Midway Still

plus many many more useless fucks who were unavoidable if you went to gigs in London in the early 90s.

Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

(xposted again)

dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah Hyperhead are maybe the only band in history you could accurately describe as sub-Gaye Bykers On Acid

xpost

Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

I had Lesley Rankine's triphop album too, yes. Ruby! (xposts)

The Cateran
RPLA
Bomb Disneyland

Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link

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

haha RPLA

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

dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link

xp would rather have worst (because I am a ball of spite)

oppet, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link

Cable
Tribute To Nothing
AC Acoustics

oh god I'm in the Camden Underworld and it's 1993 again

Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Satantango! (Matt #2), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link

therapy & the wildhearts are the only good ones (unless fudge tunnel are included)

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link

worst

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

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link

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

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link

i think thats because most of the shite here didnt sell or last. Britpop did.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link

The Abs

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Or do I mean the Milk Monitors?

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link

chap please do a worst poll

Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Headcleaner

ka£ka (NickB), Thursday, 24 February 2011 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link

It's on whoever Tribute to Nothing's label was at the time. Lockjaw? Helping You Back To Work or sth?
