Anybody remember Sultans of Ping FC's "Where's Me Jumper?".
votchy - MemberStone Roses - Fools Gold
Is the correct answer.
'dancing in the disco,
bumper to bumper,
wait a minute,
where's me jumper?
you might say things can only get better,
you haven't lost your brand new sweater!'
can't remember the rest though...
what was shed seven's big hit?
It might be '89 and I might hate the song, but even I agree it's Fools Gold
Shed 7's big one was Going for Gold, wasn't it?
or maybe Getting Better
New Fast Automatic Daffodils- Fishes Eyes. Or Lions / Music is Shit but I think they were late 80s?
no ones mentioned northside 😉
hallelujah - happy mondays
The La's - [i]There She Goes[/i]
getting better, that's what i was thinking of
what aboiut the New Fast Automatic Daffodils? Fishes Eyes, Pigeon.
Stone Roses - She bangs the drums
Loaded by Primal Scream
Singltrackhor do you mean: Northside - Shall we take a trip? It was poor surely?
animal nitrate, suede...never liked them much but was a big tune at the time
mansun - stripper vicar 😉
indeed algarvebairn, worst song ever recorded
I think this was 1989: I went to see the Wonderstuff at Glasgow Barrowlands and the support acts were Neds Atomic Dustbin, Jesus Jones and Mega City 4. That was some gig.
Shed 7's big one was Going for Gold, wasn't it?
No Going for Gold was the Henry Kelly presented TV program on after Richard and Judy which meant it was time to get up 🙂
I think I saw that tour.
PWEI were regulars at Portsmouth Poly. I think I saw them 5 times!
Beeeaver Patrol!
Sons of the Stage - World of Twist.
In'n'out of Grace - Mudhoney.
The Waiting room - Fugazi.
Freak Scene - Dinosaur Junior.

What a great time for music, despite the dross in the charts!
so many good anthems around
teenage fanclub- what you do to me
Sugar- tilted
Dinosaur Jr- feel the pain
Ride -leave them all behind
dodgy- lovebird
echobelly-dark therapy
lush- single girl
placebo-nancyboy
Going to see the Wonderstuff week after next, they are playing a tiny venue in Putney, should be a cracking night.
Neds and The Wonder Stuff often played together. Saw them live a few times where they supported each other. PWEI, Neds and the Stuffies were all from Stourbridge IIRC.
The Breeders - Cannonball
Belly - Feed the tree.
Shed Seven - Speak Easy
The Wedding Present - Kennedy/ Brassneck
Edit - So many good tunes i'd forgotten about. Have almost all of these on vinyl with no turntable. I think itunes is going to get raided tonight!! 😀
Are we including Yanky indie type rock?
If so I'll get my best cock out and and say I saw Mudhoney twice when they had a lively little support act called Nirvana.
Mossimus, I saw them a couple of months back at the o2 in Glasgow. They played the eight legged groove machine start to finish and then went off, came back and played soem of the later stuff. It really was good. Funny to see all the thirty-something forner indie kids outisde the venue checking their blackberrys and iPhones when 20 years back they'd be smoking a spliff!
Rusty Spanner, Freak Scene is truly one of the greats. Can't beleive I forgot about it.
Scruff: I think I can beat that - I saw Nirvana at their only ever gig in Scotland at the Calton Studios in Edinburgh.
algarvebairn: They are doing Hup this time.
Is Malcolm Trecce still Playing with them or just Miles and a backing band?
scruff -
Lucky man. Saw Mudhoney at the International 2 in Manchester - you got Nirvana as a support act, we got some band called Hole, with a gobby female singer called Courtney Love.
Don't remember them being much good!
Charlatan's - North country boy
KLF - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu
Cast - Finetime
Anything Stone Rose's and about 3000 other brilliant song's of this era
but the main one for me is the las - there she goes 8)
Ooo, classic STW Oasis haters. Argueably the biggest band of the last 18 or so years, its heyday in the 90's and no mention.
And Fools Gold is wrong. It was the song that prompted John Squire to quit the Roses because he didn't like the direction they were going in and so brought an end to one of the best bands ever. So for that reason, Fools Gold isn't 'the one'. On the flip side, he went on to form the shortlived Seahorses which were excellent.
So the correct answer may be She Bangs The Drums by the Roses but is probably something from Definitely Maybe, Cigarettes & Alchohol maybe?
And Nice Guy Eddie is better than Sale Of The Century 😉
[url=
- ace![/url]
Also The Roses, Mondays, Inspirals, James in fact most bands that came out of Manchester! 😆
[url=
their finest, specially the instrumental![/url] Top one, nice one, sorted!

What about the farm and groovy train? Genius.
I remember Cast being quite big in that era too with quite a few catchy little ditties.
Must have something by Oasis in there too as they were pretty big back in the day (the first album is really quite good you know).

yossarian - MemberI always though Spaceman 3 were a poor version of Loop
the other way round! The spacemen were pioneers, loop were nothing more than a tribute band!
Spot on. Loop were playing at it, the Spacemen were ****ing ace.
Looking at all these, you know? If ever there was a genre of music that remains "Of it's time" then 90's Indie must certainly be it. Great back in the day, but some of these tunes are so shite when you listen to them now...And I was a real fan of a lot of these bands. So few of these have stood the test of time
Isn't that true of most genres though nick?
I agree Nick but some of them really do still stand up in my opinion. Not that many but some are still very good.
The La's - There She Goes
Pixies....(...not sure any are anthems thought..Debaser ...Bone Machine erm ?....possibly late 80's too no ?)
slipping into 80's again (like lots / most of above)
got to be....Stone Roses...fools gold / resurrection
