What's your year?

MrGump

Lamda and Mrgump were discussing what was the best year for music in the 90's. What do u all think and why.

I would say 1995 for


Blur - The Great Escape
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Alanis Morrisette- Jagged little Pill

Pulp - Common People
TLC - Waterfalls (we miss u left-eye)
Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You (he annoyed me so much on I love 1995)
Garbage - Queer
Weezer - Buddy Holly

and many more that i have simply forgotten.

Apart from that I concur...
1995 was the year of The Bends... ah some good memories...
And Grace was 95 as well...
That year also reminds me of playing Doom! What a game!!!:D

DerekD Goldfish

I know there are albums/songs that I like from every year in the 90s but I can't name them all. At the time I was listening to completely different stuff then than to what I'm into now (not going to tell you what...tres embarrassing!) but I do have lots of albums from the 90s so I'll name a few:

1992 - Alice in Chains - Dirt
1992 - Pearl Jam - Ten
1999 - NIN - The Fragile

And in keeping with the 1995 buzz that seems to be going here:

1995 - Deftones - Adrenaline
1995 - Def Leppard - Vault (No, I don't care what you think!)

knobbles

Sandi

Thank you knobbles! Ya can't beat 'em for cheese value and just a mad rock-out! I went to see them in Feb and I heard all the songs I wanted to hear. What a gig!

bandit

1994
Manics Holy bible

Macseamusa

1999 foo fighters -learn to fly and breakout

thedrowner

for pop music 1994
just memories of always by erasure and i'll stand by you by the pretenders ad ace of base and stuff like that

for the music i listen to now though, i'll have to have a run through my favruite bands, it's bee between air and low (the rest are 80's bands i think)

1994 is sounding good though....

Cozpyro

1984 was pretty cool.

So good that Van Halen named an album after it!

The Cure - The Top and The Cure Live.
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire.
Whitesnake - Slide it In.
The Smiths released their first album.
Iron Maiden - Powerslave.
Prince - Purple Rain
Dylan - Real Live
Nik Kershaw - Human Racing (Don't laugh - check out the chord changes)
Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi (Just try to think back to 1984)
Metallica - Ride The Lightning


And of course never forget Spinal Tap "This is Spinal Tap"

There were tons more!

MrGump

So its become an 80s thing now, ok. I can¡¯t decide, but im going say 81/2/3 cause of the following

Kim Wilde - Kids in America (82)
The Smiths - This charming man (83)
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. (83)
Blondie - Rapture (81)

They had so many good songs on top of the pops 2 the other week - all 80s. It was fantastic.

Also whatever year was Human League -THAT ONE!

Sandi

Gotta love the 80s!

1989 - Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
1987 - Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
and many more I'm sure

Tom182

Absolutely loved Big Country!!!!!!!
I have so much rare stuff of theirs......

That's who Stuart Adamson is.......for those that don't know!!

knobbles

the 80's, when top of the pops actually meant something.
where did it all go wrong?
from killer bands like duran duran to bands to kill like westlife.
pop is dead

Tom182

DURAN DURAN!!!!!!! The best thing to come out of Birmingham since Aston Villa!!!:)

Daylight

Duran Duran indeed! For all you fans out there, there is a new album in the works and a tour planned. Who'd have thought we'd have been sitting here in 2003 talking about Duran Duran eh? Take away the dodgy videos and hairdo's and you've got one of the best electro/pop bands of the 80's.
And raggamuffin, you've totally sold me on 1991. Time to dig out some Fugazi me thinks.

stez

The 80's...??? Has to be 1989, for The Stone Roses - Stone Roses, no other album mattered in that decade after that came out....
In fact, I would go as far to say that it was the best debut album of all time...??? What do you think?

bandit

in terms of the 80s
1980 was the best
John Lennon died

lamda

:eek:
HEARTLESS!!!

*hee hee*

Saint-dotsie
