    Yea actually your right, timttmy coming at the end of the 90’s would be more to my liking, big fan, though still the amount of quality rem put out in the 90’s it’s hard to see anybody touching them

    REM - Much better band in every respect. Manic Street Preachers are, to borrow Necro's earlier wording, "drab, moany and boring". ;)

    Nirvana - a tad overrated maybe but still pretty damn influential and had some great tunes.

    I really don’t want nirvana to win.

    Hey, it's the 90s, girlfriend!
    Ask people to name a band from the 90s and most people will say Nirvana.
    But they do seem to be steamrolling all the contests. Cover version, 90s song etc.

    I think Nirvana were quintessential 90s. I wouldn't be a huge fan but I can understand why people liked them and I'm OK with them winning.
    Having said that, my vote will go to REM for as long as they are in the competition. 2 amazing and another 2 very good albums during the 90s!!

    Upcoming gigs and events: New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    Radiohead - my last nomination. Plus I really can't stand the Chilli Peppers.

    Foo Fighters vs Blur - ABSTAIN, no strong opinion on either.
