Best band/artist on the Creation Records roster POLL.

3 Colours Red also got coverage in Kerrang iirc, and I wouldn't be surprised if Swervedrier got reviewed in there either

Kerrang covered Sugar, and it was quite high in the RAW AOY list

Nah c'mon this list is at most 20% total ass

are we judging this on the records these bands actually released on Creation, cos JAMC would just be Upside Down 7" & Munki, pretty threadbare pickings really
then again just the Kaleidoscope World comp is making me want to vote Chills

Voted The House of Love. The first great album on Creation.

Good choice, although I prefer the later version of 'Shine On' to the one they did for Creation.

xpost. Upside Down b/w Vegetable Man kind of is better than most bands' careers. Isn't the Creation documentary called "Upside Down?"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

LOL!!

Happy to fly the only Adorable flag but this poll reminded me that I've never looked into the Boo Radleys.

Seeing the rather good Lilac Time all the way at the bottom there makes me kind of sad.

Yes, Lilac Time are rather wonderful. The last album was the first subpar outting. New album "Lilac9" due this spring.

my bloody valentine would be best on almost any label. what a shame crispy ambulance were on factory. what was the band that covered themselves in orange paint in the video. they were the second best.

oasis has beaten the jesus & mary chain.

two sets of brothers in brutal no holds barred bare knuckle bare chested bestial combat

what was the band that covered themselves in orange paint in the video. they were the second best

I vaguely remember that. "You make the sun...(something or other)...". It wasn't very good.

'Shine'? I bet it was 'You make the sun shine'

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But it was actually "burst for me".

Tangerine guy Mark Dumais was previously in an indie band called Crash with Kurt Ralske of Ultra Vivid Scene - had an ex who was obsessed with this song by them http://youtu.be/h04dAMBNe0s

My vote wouldve lifted oasis above momus, which wouldve been something at least

no them being forced to share a lowly position with pervy nick gives me indescribable pleasure

Ugh.

Primal Scream deserve a bit more acclaim than this, surely. Might be a good time to get the Give Out But Don't Give Up reappraisal moving.

the rolling stones tribute album?

Ah, but it was so, so much more than that (disclosure: I haven't heard it)

would've voted telescopes, check out the live.aftertaste thing (it's on spotify under "singles" i think) to get an idea of what they're edoing live these days, loud brutal rad guitars, RIFFS, love those guys

Kind of surprised there's 5 other people who voted SFA.

Was hoping that someone would have at least namechecked the Jazz Butcher. (voted Telescopes myself)

or The Legend! - what an artist that was

Doesn't surprise me at all that My Bloody Valentine topped the poll, but it has surprised me that there was only one vote for Primal Scream... and I speak as someone who doesn't rate Primal Scream all that highly (I have a soft spot for early Primal Scream, mind).

Yeah - I know they're kind of at peak unfashionability these days, but Screamadelica always has admirers and I thought that xtrmntr and some of their later stuff was quite well-regarded.

it is. but its ilm

Yeah, I was pretty much thinking along similar lines! I'm not a big fan of either Screamadelica or XTRMNTR but I'm aware that those albums have plenty of fans. Oasis aren't terribly fashionable at the moment either, and probably haven't been for many years, but they still managed to put in a better performance, which makes me go "wut?". I can't help but suspect that at least one person voted Oasis just for 'teh LOLz', but then again, who knows?

actually the only good vocalist was Lawrence

You can understand Oasis provoking apathy - more difficult to understand them provoking anything else tbh - but Primal Scream have done enough stupid stuff that you'd think someone would stick up for the rest.

the rolling stones tribute album?

it was so, so much more than that

disclosure i only heard 2 and a half songs off it knowingly

There might be plenty of people who like Primal Scream, but who don't think Primal Scream were the *best* band on Creation.

or The Legend! - what an artist that was
That was Everett True, wasn't it?

It was. For all I know it could be brilliant. That's not how I imagine it though.

Disclosure: I've never heard him either.

I've heard him talk. Beautiful speaking voice.

I was once sat near him on a train.

Really.

Or someone who looked just like him.

he wheeled kurt cobain on stage in a wheelchair.

He spoke like a teenage Ken Livingstone with a lisp, iirc.

And he got a train from Brighton to London Bridge in 1992.

Or someone who looked just like him did.

I missed this. I've really been enjoying the deluxe 3CD reissue of The House Of Love's first album and singles, so might have voted for them, though they are not historically my favorites. Also have enjoyed hearing Adorable and The Telescopes for the first time recently.

What did people make of the weather prophet's version of spooky?

I have it down as being by the Jazz Butcher

Lol my memory fails me yet again
