loud,creaming jesus, curve, the nymphs, eves plumb, sunshot
all random stuff that turned up on a random playlist form the depths of collection the other day, bloomin loved sunshot, remember them supporting new model army and then hunting down their album.
Love is here by Starsailor , good debut album then struggled with the second album syndrome
Mama Said Lenny Kravitz, he seem to be kept busy these days with his F1 Sky duties
first one that sprung to mind for me was because i heard a song on 6 music yesterday and thought ahh that sounds like Asian Dub Foundation, i wonder what happened to them….
had 2 or 3 good singles back in the day, Naxalite, Free Satpal Ram and Buzzin come to mind.
Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030 this still sounds as good as the first day I heard it back in 2000
A fantastic proper hip-hop album. The instrumental version is ace too.definitely a hidden gem if tastes are more mainstream.
I was listening to Dust by Screaming Trees as part of my trip down Lanegan Lane. Still think it’s up there with Superunknown as one of the best of the 90’s
– Throwing Copper – that’s a good one suggested above.
– I prefer Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by The Black Crowes, rather than SYMM.
– Loveless, never stopped listening TBH
– The Stairs, Mexican R&B. I was astonished last week to see Weedbus mentioned on here.
– Primal Scream, Vanishing Point
– Felt, pretty much any album
– Teenage Fanclub, Grand Prix
– Cosmic Rough Riders, Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine
– The Real People, Marshmellow Lane
I saw them play about three years ago, I’d forgotten how much I hated that dull drone….ain’t musical taste great, would be so boring if we all loved the same stuff!!!
Wow. Twenty years ago this week we drove around southern spain, partner 5mths pregnant with our son, that was part of the soundtrack. Loved it, haven’t listened to it for years. As a side note we ended up in Barcelona, noticed that Gorkys Zygotic Mynci were playing, got a sneaky gig in as well!
Their Spanish Dance Troupe and Barafundle are also lost hidden gems.
You may be able to tell I was a rock fan in the late ’80s. A sample song from each of the artists I noticed from quickly scanning one shelf of my CD collection (excluding great artists who had massive commercial success like Queensryche)
Spotify threw up Dizzy by the Throwing muses (from Hunkpapa) a few nights ago, which led my down a lovely wee sidetrack of The Breeders, Belly, The Amps and The Perfect.
I’ve been listening to Liquidizer by Jesus Jones this week which I love.
Wedding present Seamonsters I hated it when it came out as I thought it
was a Steve Albini produced racket it’s now in my top 5 favourite LP of all time now. They’d grown up I hadn’t.
House of Love House of Love on Fontana is brilliant just came out at the wrong time. Im going listen to it this afternoon on my ride.
Carter have been on TOTP on BBC4 a lot recently I’ll give the Love Albumn a go as i always loved their singles but never got properly into them.
Right Now – Van Halen
Alright – Supergrass
Locomotive breath – Jethro Tull
Rain – The Cult
Deliverance – The Mission
Moonchild – Fields of the Nephilim
Dominion – Sisters of Mercy.
Senser – Age of Panic
Cocteau Twins – Bluebell Knoll
Mega City Four – Who cares wins or Sebastopol Rd.
Senseless Things – The First of too many
Curve – Doppelgänger
Maria McKee – You gotta sin to be saved
Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires
Yes! We used to play that all the time in a bar I used to work in. Took me ages to hunt down a copy.
I used to love trawling late night radio shows for oddities and rarities. One I picked up from that was an artist called Sandy Dillon, think Tom Wait’s eccentric niece and you’re maybe getting close. I had an album of hers called Electric Chair which I recently found on Apple Music, so listened to it again. Still think it’s great. Also, after I listened to it once the songs from that album went to the top of the artists most popular songs list!
Pat Fish aka The Jazz Butcher passed away recently. Even in his heyday he was under-appreciated and a bit apart from musical fashions, but he made some really beautiful songs.
This first one features Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 fame at the end, fact fans…
I saw the Cosmic Rough Riders supporting The Black Crowes at the Barras about 20 years ago. Also saw the Gin Blossoms supporting the Spin Doctors at the same venue almost 30 years ago.
I found a cd by Men at Work (remember them?) and stuck it in the player. It always makes me laugh how well their most famous song still sounds great. Anyway later on in the album I stumbled into this, and thought blimey, that is a great and beautiful song.
Both of the first 2 albums are full of excellent tunes – I loved them at the time and still do. Colin Hay is still making music and still has that distinctive voice. In fact, he’s just released an album, which is a little less quirky than MAW but is still good.
Glad Deltron and the Dust Junkys have got a shout, both awesome albums – Deltron Event II is well worth a listen.
I’m a 90’s kid as well, so I’d say the following tracks rank in there for me
– Bluetones – Slight Return. Everyone talks about the big 90s Indie bands but Bluetones get forgotten
– Geneva – No One Speaks (Clicky!). Supported the Bluetones in ’95-96ish interestingly enough.
