Hope this jolts the old memory Levi's! I've included one of my favourite songs for each artist, not necessarily all that I know or can recommend of course.

When I think of more, I'll get back to the old list

[invisible_r]

i think sue summed it up very well, i can't think of anything to add, maybe songs to some of my fave ones?

oasis-"live forever""wonderwall""masterplan" (i loved them!)

blur-"parklife""girls and boys" (it mentions greece)

bush-"glycerine""comedown""swallowed"

the verve"bittersweet symphony""the drugs don't work"

radiohead"creep""fake plastic trees""just"

the pixies"where is my mind?""debaser"

placebo-"every you every me" "pure morning"

smashing pumkins -"bullet for butterfly wings"

the dandy warhols-(from the 90s stuff)"not if you were the last junkie on earth"

[katie_sane]

There were quite a few good bands in the 90's!

Adding to the lists above, my fave songs by 90's bands are:

'If You Could Only See', 'Open Up Your Eyes', 'Casual Affair' - Tonic

'Jumper', 'How's It Going To Be', 'I Want You' - Third Eye Blind

'Rattlesnake', 'Lightning Crashes', 'I Alone' - Live

'1979', 'Disarm', 'Tonight Tonight' - The Smashing Pumpkins

'Hit So Hard', 'Boys On The Radio', 'Petals' - Hole

[Earth-Angel]

Oh yes, Tonic! I thought they were a one-hit wonder with "you wanted more"! How about:

L7 - Andres

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane

Menswear - Daydreamer

Korn - A.D.I.D.A.S

Ugly kid Joe - cat's in the cradle

Presidents of the USA - dune buggy

Marilyn Manson - lunchbox

Third eye blind - semi-charmed life

Counting crows - Perfect blue buildings

I'm not sure if you wanted solo artists too, but Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette, Fiona Apple, Eagle-eye Cherry etc were pretty big in that time frame too

[Levis]

Thanks you guys! I'm gonna get right down to it now! Any more suggestions are more than welcome!!

[invisible_r]

my fave one hit wonder from the 90s has to be "spaceman"-babylon zoo!

i have a great cd i got in 97 i think, you might want to take a look for more suggestions

click!

[Zahid]

Check out Stir, a great 90s band that nobody seems to have heard of. They did get some radio play for a couple of songs, including one called New Beginning and one called Climbing the Walls. Excellent songwriting and playing.

[katie_sane]

'Spaceman' by Babylon Zoo is a great song!! I forgot all about it.

I would add Metallica to this list. They had some great stuff out in the 90's. The Empire Records Soundtrack has some great 90's tunes on it.

[Earth-Angel]

I was thinking of adding Metallica to the list too, Katie, but didn't really think they were a 90's band as such. But I only really like their 90's stuff, so hey, there's another one on the list!

Oh, and Babylon Zoo! Spaceman was great! But it was so wierd the way he thought he was going to take over the world and be the greatest superstar ever in his tinfoil skirt and clingwrap jacket...he was not a well puppy...

[invisible_r]

i did have a friend who fancied babylon zoo! i think it was the eyes, they were very blue or green, probably contacts!

[Levis]

I haven't heard of Babylon zoo but I have found their song, I'll try out Stir next

Another one of the songs I discovered around last year was 'What I am' by Edie Brickell. And I love it!! I love the feel of the song and the video!

[edna]

Smashmouth are funny... is it 90´s or 2000?

[Earth-Angel]

Oh yeah! Reef's "place your hands" was great! And Kula Shaker had Tattva and Govinda which were also cool. There was also "standing outside a broken phone booth with money in my hand" by Primitive Radio Gods.

[invisible_r]

[Earth-Angel]

And of course all the hits by the greatness that was Pulp!

And Foxy, I believe Tequila was a hit for Terrorvision. Now just to remember why I have the name Stiltskin in my mind??

[invisible_r]

"common people" and "disco 2000", i will never forgive myself for forgetting!

yeah, i remember terrorvision, i saw them live, they had a really cool song called "josephine" which i always though was very funnY

[invisible_r]

oh, and deus "suds and soda" was great

[Earth-Angel]

The flaming lips - she don't use jelly!!!

Yes yes yes!!

[invisible_r]

the cardigans"carnival"

garbage"queer", "stupid girl""only happy when it rains"

mercury rev"opus 40""godess on a highway"

bryan adams "so far so good" (with "summer of 69" "everything i do" etc)

ace of base "the sign" (with "the sign" and "all that she wants ", how i loved that song! "all that she wants is another baby, she's gone tomorrow boy")

[Earth-Angel]

I loved Ace of Base too

And and and

Green Jelly - 3 little pigs!!! ::

[Foxy]

And of course all the hits by the greatness that was Pulp!

And Foxy, I believe Tequila was a hit for Terrorvision. Now just to remember why I have the name Stiltskin in my mind??

Stiltskin did "Inside"

[Earth-Angel]

Yeah yeah, that's the very one! There were quite alot of good acts in the 90's! Certainly an improvement on the stonewashed jeans, whiteboy perms of the 80's hairband rock! I'm going to get flak for this one, I can just tell! But really, this was the decade I know best and love the most, I honestly still listen to 90% of this stuff and am not tired of it yet!

[invisible_r]

i agree sue, it's the music i grew up with and it will always have a place in my heart. for example, i went to see bush a couple of years ago and almost cried when they played "glycerine"
