I have no clear idea of what Sassy actually was, but it is striking how not especially grunge this list is for its era

Bands on this list I have never even heard of:

Quicksand

You should listen to Slip immediately.

Ok!

Shouldn't have to add to my last comment but I will that the lack of non white folks is obviously even more striking, but you know that already

^Trent Reznor's sister second from right.

Luscious Jackson are awesome

Chavez is scientifically the correct vote because 2 members were in other Cute Bands (Bullet Lavolta & Skunk).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Fuck totally missed Poison Idea on there! Damnit!

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

Many xp's to dlp9001 -- I still have a copy of that reader-produced issue! My sister won a spot too, in the art dept. She did some construction paper cutout illustrations for it. I was in school in NYC so she came out to stay for a few days and we visited the mag's office and met everyone. Good times! Sorry about your tonsillectomy.

I definitely remember that Sassy/Sire sampler kicking around my sister's tape collection.

You will never see the Beautiful South look as conspicuous in any poll ever again.

I have a physical copy of the sire sampler (inspiration for the poll), where would one u/l an mp3 in 2015?

I remember seeing beautiful south cds prominently displayed in a best buy in new jersey in 1995 and thinking that they might be a band that I should get around to checking out at some point. Have yet to do so. Even at the time they somehow looked remaindered at full price
