Hello
There will be a specially themed programme on the 29th December. It will attempt to sum up the 1990s in three hours of music. Much like the previous two nights have sought to do with the previous two decades.
So, the simple question is this: What should we play from the 1990s?
Suggestions here please.
Thanks
Gid
the whole of 'in the aeroplane over the sea'
some baby bird
josh - dressed up like nebraska
r.e.m. - e-bow the letter

buffalo tom - porchlight

sonic younth - teenage riot
belly - seal my fate
foo fighters - everlong
sundays - summertime
laurence
i forgot
jayhawks - clouds
uncle tupelo - still be around or gun
robyn hitchcock - driving aloud (radio storm)

Find this one harder than the 70s and 80s. I blame it on having kids! Anyway a few possibilities:
Bill is Dead - The Fall
Lenny Valentino - The Auteurs
The Man Don't Give a ... - Super Furry Animals (title censored by this site so unlikely to be playable!)
Justified and Ancient/Mu Mu Land - KLF

Motorcycle Emptiness - Manics
Paid in Kind - Levitation
Idiot Joy Showland - The Fall
Possibly some Cardiacs, Nirvana, Pumpkins, Mogwai?
how about some hip hop? the 90s were in my opinion the best time for hip hop!
tribe called quest (low end theory) - check the rhime
outkast (aquemini) - return of the G
wu-tang clan (renter the wu-tang [36 chambers]) - mystery of chessboxin'
redman (whut? the album) - how to roll a blunt
pharcyde (bizarre ride II tha pharcyde) - passing me by
big L (lifestylez ov da poor and dangerous) - MVP
and my absolute favourite:
Organized Konfusion (s/t) - Fudge Pudge
Off the top of my head:
Ride - Like A Daydream/Leave Them All Behind
Lush - Deluxe/For Love
Slowdive - Slowdive/Spanish Air
Chapterhouse - Falling Down
Moose - Suzanne
Pale Saints - Hunted
Swervedriver - Son Of Mustang Ford
The Telescopes - Celeste
Gallon Drunk - The Last Gasp(Safty)
New FADs - Fishes Eyes
The Wedding Present - Dalliance
Five Thirty - 13th Disciple
Catherine Wheel - She's My Friend
World Of Twist - Sons Of The Stage
Pixies - Ana
Mudhoney - Let It Slide
Nirvana - Milk It
Hole - Doll Parts
Rollins Band - Liar
Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving/Marble Lions
Denim - The Osmonds
Pulp - Love Is Blind/Street Lites
My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow
Suede - The Living Dead/Killing Of A Flashboy
The Auteurs - The Upper Classes
Blur - He Thought Of Cars/Trimm Trabb
The Boo Radleys - Spaniard/Leaves And Sand

Huggy Bear - Her Jazz
Tindersticks - My Sister/Kathleen
Elastica - Never Here
Pavement - Elevate Me Later/virtually anything else from their back catalogue
The Divine Comedy - Middle Class Heroes/The Certainty Of Chance
Looks like this is going to run to a second list. Do you think we can get away with knocking 1999 out of the equation entirely?

Pete Rock & C.L Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y)
