Seriously, considering ILM at the time was a bunch of dudes praising the Manics and fucking Magnetic Fields

Indie rock guilt is so stupid. Why be guilty of music you used to like?

I like some of the songs on this list (“More Than Words” is just a great tune!) but it's still quite funny. Lots of hate for college rock gone pop stuff.

You also missed out Fun Lovin' Criminals' "Scooby Snacks" or whatever it was called.

"or whatever it was called." = "Errr... not that I would know, of course."

What about the Wedding Present as they neared the end of their "hit parade" experiment (and running out of inspiration/money)? They could pretty much release anything at that stage and it would be a Top 40 hit, with something like "Shaft", or the theme from "Twin Peaks" on the B Side.

Wait Dom you don't like the Magnetic Fields? I thought you were all about lame indie shit like that?

Why be guilty of music you used to like?
even if it was Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots?
― blueski, Sunday, 30 March 2008 12:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not embarrassed to have liked Pearl Jam. Infact i still like those records. Always hated Stone Temple Pilots(apart from that 1 song that sounded like Redd Kross). ST always seem more liked on ILM than PJ for some reason.
Or are you admitting you like Pearl Jam and STP and feel guilty?
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 30 March 2008 13:25 (sixteen years ago) link
the latter

I like pussy indie shit, not lame indie shit.

Ahh blueski I think you're a (good?)few years younger than I am so im sure you can be excused for liking that stuff in your early teens. I liked U2 at that age. And i've no guilt, even though I've hated their last few albums with a passion.

Was the sweetest thing a 90s single? if so that's one of the worst(of any decade)
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 30 March 2008 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link
it was an 80s b-side and a 90s a-side. go figure.
unless you're talking about Refugee Camp Allstars 'The Sweetest Thing' which was pretty good (it's OK i know you're not)

Worst use of breathy singing.
