Off Topic The Official:TV-Show-Movie-Games Thread

Agree - Wonderwall used to drive me ****ing nuts. Weird thing is I loved Don't Look Back in Anger, but at the time it achieved a fraction of the success of Wonderwall yet imo was the better track. Yet now, two decades later you will hear that on the radio FAR MORE than Wonderwall. Strange that.

Supersonic, Some Might Say, Champ Supernova and others I can't remember were all ****ing class tbf.

 

To me it was a time and place thing, Oasis came along and tore it up just when the youth of that day needed it, the first album is what I enjoy the most and I still rate Cigarettes and Alcohol, it's my fave track by them. It got bad but they had their time. The Charlatans and The Stone Rose remain my favs from that era.
Sing along pop/rock was big in the 90's and it was a fun time to be alive, I remember being in pubs and the whole place singing along to the songs being played.
Outside the rave scene was superb, in a tent, in a field off my tits till the sun came up. 90's was the business.

If we're looking at the popular albums of the time and ignoring the Seattle sound there's only one winner for me.
An album sang of what we were all were going through, lyrically brilliant, attitude and feeling, from the heart and better than anything Oasis and the battle vs Blur evet produced there's a gem of an album and one of the greatest of all time.

Pulp - A Different Class

 

Fine i just hate 80s crap and am entitled to my opinion of it. As you can have yours... unless you are a take that and leona lewis dan of course.

 

More of a back street boys and 5ive fan tbh

 

I totally agree with you. Wonderwall if boring. And dont look back was the better song.

But then... people seem to love robbie williams twittering on about angels... maybe there deep meaning in those droning lyrics i cant be arsed finding

 

But not blue i suppose

 

People forget that beyond the mainstream there's also other bands to look at, 80's is generally ****e but then there's The Fall, Inspiral Carpets, The Smiths. There's always something if you look.

 

They dont define the decade though do they?

You can always pan for gold in any river but if the river is full of raw sewage its pretty hard.

The 60s and 70s were musically huge. The 80s had a terrible anount of "pop" for me anyway.

But then i grew up in the 90s

I think the worst time was rhe height of x factor and such where derivative ****e dominated.

 

I think the opposite, they certainly do define it once it's all said and done. The Smiths are now remembered as a shining light on a sugary pop world full of ****e.

It's not the popular bands that always define the era.

 

Here's some albums from the 90s that were definitely not ****

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Radiohead - The Bends / OK Computer
Snoop Dog - Doggy Style
Notorious BIG - Life After Death / Ready to Die
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream / Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Dr DRE - The Chronic
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Bjork - Homogenic
Depeche Mode - Violator
Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Slint - Spiderland
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
Weezer - Pinkerton
GZA - Liquid Swords
Nas - Illmatic
Beck - Odelay
Air - Moon Safari
Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt
Pearl Jam - Ten
All Nirvana
Yeah Pulp - Different Class as well luvster

And that's without even going too far outside the box from rock / alternative / hip hop into genres like jazz and world music and so on. So yeah. The 90s were a **** decade for music.

 

Tis on the bloody radio while you drive along and have to change the channel as the ****e gets played

 

@moreinjuredthanowen you're a lost cause man, lost cause ... i genuinely feel sorry for you fam

who cares about the disposable ****e, listen to what you like, when you find peeps that appreciate it, appreciate them, all those braindeads who think that chart music is all there is, **** 'em

 

DOn't listen to the radio then, or listen to a better channel. Get an aux cable or adapter to plug your phone or media device in your car then you can blast your own tuneage

 

Missing young green day. Dookie.

Placebo.

How about automatic of the people. R.e.m.

Rage Against the machine. (Album 9f same name and then Battle of l.a.

 

Sooooo young. Connecting devices to cars. Playing your own.... please i NEED a peado dj to tell me whats good music. Thats how we all grew up after all.

 

First couple of Placebo albums are good yeh

Not much of an REM fan really

Missed Rage, they good

Green Day are ok, bit limited

 

If it annoys me it annoys me... it invades my daily drive or worse any friday or saturday night is either the technofrog or 80s ****e played by aging, think they are cool and alternative, disk jockeys.

 

Because the radio people know what is good after all. Come on man, most of them are ****in morons chatting total retardedness in between songs

Only time I ever hear radio like that is in the gym where they have the commercial / pop channels on sometimes and it's actually cringe listening to that and thinking people listen to and enjoy this stuff

 

Yeah id agree placebo ran out of steam quick.

Green day american idiot is a masterpeice but in the 1990s they were what they were.. sell outs

R.e.m. yeah bit annoying and up themselves at times but automatic for tge people was their zenith.

I liked shouty people back then

 

Do not disrespect that benteknofrog yo
