These guys always seem to get lumped in with grunge or "Nirvana, et cetera" but I have to say I thought they were always so much better than that. Saw them in the Koko in London about two years ago I think and they still got it!

Always liked these ones as well:

^ I fucking love Yo La Tengo, they've never released a bad album in their ~28 year career. Good call on The God Machine, not many people seem to listen to them. Both of their albums are sprawling epics and they could have gone on to even better things had their bassist not died.

Here's something awesome.

The opening track from their first and best album A Storm In Heaven. It's a pity that it was all downhill musically after this album.

A cracker of an album.
Wasn't it after this that they added 'The' to Verve?
That's what did them in I reckon.

Brian Eno - Microsoft Windows Theme

A gem? Maybe... its only 7 seconds long...

I figure it deserved to be in the thread because its representative of the times and Eno is possibly a Genius.

Yeah we're all a little u2'd out...

But back in the early 90's this song was the perfect soundtrack to a painful breakup...

True, they ran into conflict with the record company Verve and they decided to change their name to The Verve. A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns have their moments here and there but they can't stand up to this psychedelic beauty.

Here's a few:
Just reading about Talvin Singh, won the mercury music prize (when it was good) but only sold 90k copies. If you don't have his album OK, get it now! If you don't like the song I linked to, give the album about 3 listens and you'll be addicted. Really hasn't dated a day and is one of my all time favourite albums.

Im not sure how well known this song is, just because I hadn't heard about it until very recently, but its such a track!

This song is like cuddles under a blanket made of kittens and love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFgHy-ia8RM There's some sweet sweet nostalgia in this album for me.

Great lyrics on this song, Afghan Whigs are generally fantastic and somewhat overlooked by a lot of people when talking about 90's indie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxlwn3wPwcY

It's been good to see the Pavement love here, but this cover of "Here" by the brilliant Tindersticks is something else. Their 90's output in general is essential listening at 3am.

There's more to The Beta Band than Dry The Rain, most notably this great track from The 3 EPs.

That's not a new video. I remember seeing that one (or at least one containing that Greg-Dulli-Pimp-Cane footage on No Disco years ago)

I think there were two videos for that song though.

Didn't get to see them at Primavera this year, would have liked to see what they're like these days though.

Jim_Kiy · 17-06-2012 05:39PM

I guess your right Jeff,.. Hadn't see that video before.

cranks · 19-06-2012 09:14PM

Nearly God - Poems. (Tricky, Terry Hall etc.)
Came across this CD today as we pack to move.
(Nice nod to Ghost Town to begin with)

Wasn't trying to out-indie-nerd you there. Just remember that one well from the 90's. Good post!

No worries Jeff..appreciate the correction..Im far to thick music-wise to be a nerd anyway:). ..reading the comments on utube seems I wasn't alone in my assumption.

These guys may have been mentioned already, like many bands from over the years, I'm discovering them quite late - surprised I've only heard of these guys now though given their link to The Cure.
