    Kylie (mainly 'cause I don't like Stereophonics, but also because Kylie had two of her best songs in the 90's with 'Confide In Me' and 'Where The Wild Roses Grow')

    Belly

    Smashing Pumpkins (in a just world they should go all the way to the final; in the Forum Games world they'll probably go out in the next round to Vanilla Ice)

    Confide In Me is very underrated

    the 90's was a funny decade for music, so much cheese and yet so much great music, but love them all...

    Stereophonics hate always confuses me. They're not a particularly popular band. Yet have have a litany of great albums and are one of the best live acts I've ever seen, on multiple occasions.

    Saw them live before Pearl jam and they were quality. Didn't realise people hated on them!

    Couldn't agree more, an amazing, somewhat melancholic song. . .

    "Hate" is too strong a word, they're not the worst but they have at least two songs that do my head in and give me that blood-boiling twitchy feeling when they come on. They have one or two that are nice enough but from I've heard by them the 'misses' outnumber the 'hits' for me personally. Have never seen them live, I may very well enjoy them more if I did...but then I might possibly say the same about Kylie!

    Am eagerly awaiting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds making an appearance here.....and dreading their inevitable defeat to something ridiculous! :pac:

    Seriously people? Stereophonics & Pulp are gone? Beaten by the ragamuffin sisters and the girl from neighbours? :rolleyes:

    I've not really been voting. 90s isn't my thing. But if someone PMs me when Nick Cave is up I'll jump on to vote asap.

    I bet those who voted them wear denim on denim.

    My through to the next round run has come to an end with stereophonics out. I got as far as 7 out of 7.
