Ok, Since WoW says there's been no good music since 1990 here's a few bands to prove him wrong:

Nirvana (yes, Nirvana)
Radiohead (yes, Radiohead)
Massive Attack
Beta Band
Charlatans
Outtkast
White Stripes
Pavement
Beastie Boys
Jeff Buckley

Oh sod off.

I have the first Spice Girls album.

Good music BEFORE 1990...there's more of it, believe me.

That might be due to the fact there's 14 years since 1990 and about 2000 years of music before 1990, and even if you only count modern music or even pop/rock since 1955 that's 35 years.

You can't dismiss music because it's new!

there was also lots and lots of utter shit which hasn't been kept alive, thank fuck

*cough* WEEZER?!!!

You're strenthening WoW's argument with a crazy suggestion like that, for fuck's sake!

Me adds: The Auteurs, Black Grape, Gallon Drunk, The Libertines, Strangelove, and (some) early Suede.

God yes to both of those!!!

................and don`t forget Hanson!!!

http://www.hansonline.com/

apparantly Isaac (?) was hospitalised for "too much rocking out", and Nikki Sixx confirmed he is a Hanson fan!!!! They`re going to be the "true heirs of the drug-fuelled 80s US rock scene", according to a reliable source ;)

Beck

Ah come on.... Weezer are cool, funny good feeling music. Their first album is cool as...

Early Suede... definately.. Their 2nd album Dog Man Star is in my top 10 albums of all time.

Well, the only real experience I have of Weezer is seeing them at Reading in 1996. They were awful.

Dog Man Star is genius - one of the great 'lost' albums and easily Suede's best work. Then Butler left and it all went downhill from then on. Strange how really promising bands can implode when on the cusp of true greatness.

I dunno, I think Coming Up was a good album, but that was the problem.. it was no more than good. But nonetheless, not a bad attempt when you've just lost one of the most unique and original british guitarists about.

Dog Man Star was genius, and to me it showscases the talent of Bernard Butler (a very very talented and extremely overlooked musician/guitarist), and his songwriting partnership with Anderson. Unfortunately neither of them ever reached the class of Dog Man Star again... both venturing down a poppier route..

Add to the list:
Therapy?
Mansun
Morphine
Aphex Twin
Skunk Anansie
Nylon Beat
The Weird Scared Little Guys
Leftfield
SoulWax

One look at the goony birds who make this music and you'll know immediately why it's so crappy...

As opposed to these twonks you mean?

Yes well, that's contempt of court digging that shit up!

World of Weird would've spouted in 1994:
There's been no decent music made since 1980

World of Weird would've spouted in 1984:
There's been no decent music made since 1970

I doubt that very much.
In 1984 I was ten and listening to a lot of my brother's punk and new wave stuff, which I still like today.

key phrase being "Would've spouted", had the You now, been around then, not the You that was then.......simple

I think that pic of the Who is cool! Look at Moonie there!

Jimbob has something to do with a single that is coming out. I heard about it on the radio the other day, but for the life of me I cannot remember anything more than that.

Quite like Grandaddy

Lambchop
Ryan Adams (including Whiskeytown)
Wilco

Lambchop are bloody great. And so are Giant Sand.

Also (alarmingly) getting into Godspeed You Black Emperor.

Almost forgot Calexico and the Pernice Brothers.

Tori Amos

Are you sure thats right? Her anagram is more correct; Sitar Moo

Tori Amos is awesome. Not 1 bad album (the closest to average being Strange Little Girls - which is a collection of covers).

Since Little Earthquakes and the accusations of her 'ripping off' Kate Bush, she has evolved into a classical musician under a pop guise. Some of her music is challenging to listen to ( see Boys For Pele), most of her music is amazing (see Under The Pink, From The Choirgirl Hotel, To Venus And Back, Scarlets Walk, Little Earthquakes).

Phooey! She can't hold a candle to Kym Marsh!

Moby,
Tiesto

Lenny kravitz was before????

PJ Harvey
Godspeed You Black Emporer
Mogwai
Squarepusher
Autechre (despite their blatent weirdness....which is great :D)

Um, I could go on...but I'm all shagged and fagged, like.

I'm outraged that you left off Nick Cave's No More Shall We Part. It's his best album, for God's sake!!!

Steady on luv.

I'm listing 90's album's...look at the top of me post.

Oh, and great album (Darker With The Day and Oh My Lord are stand-out's)...but not a patch on Murder Ballads and The Boatman's Call IMO.

Have you seen the Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow video with my very own Cocker and Jason Donovan thrashing about like a nutter? Pure CLASS.

Oh yeah - sorry!

Both those are great songs, but I couldn't possibly agree they are stand-outs cos I think every track on there is a brick-built classic. One of the few albums that still has the ability of reducing me to tears even now. Murder Ballads is a corker though. The Kindness of Strangers is warped genius. And I KNOW a man called Richard Holmes! heh heh!

Haven't see that video though :\

Incidentally, he's touring Britain in November. YEAH!

Tori Amos is awesome. Not 1 bad album (the closest to average being Strange Little Girls - which is a collection of covers).

Since Little Earthquakes and the accusations of her 'ripping off' Kate Bush, she has evolved into a classical musician under a pop guise. Some of her music is challenging to listen to ( see Boys For Pele), most of her music is amazing (see Under The Pink, From The Choirgirl Hotel, To Venus And Back, Scarlets Walk, Little Earthquakes).
Tori Amos's Boys for Pele reminds me of a sonic youth related remark in NME recently - you have to work for your pleasure. So sometimes I'm tempted to skip various tracks, but there's usually a delightful bit of musical/vocal Tori in every song, however annoying the song initally seems.
I still haven't bought any other records by her, though. Some of her lyrics are a bit shit (or maybe they're just too ridiculously cryptic for me to 'get' ) but her musical talents are amazing, and I hate it when she gets compared to Dido or whatever.
Um, my favourite 90s band is Hole. this century: interpol.

I might also like to add 'The Soundtrack Of Our Lives'. Behind The Music is a fucking awesome album.

Hey unordinarychild, hadn't you better close this thread down, too? If people are posting Tori Amos on this thread it must have gone off topic.

Eh? What fucking planet are you on? I don't even mod this forum. Grow up.

/off topic

Grow up.

Thanks for that. I like being patronised. (.)

Yeah, and I like being told how to moderate. :\

Back On Topic

Aimee Mann - done some fantastic albums, and is behind my favourite soundtrack ever - Magnolia.

Great call- I second that emotion.

Tom Petty's 1999 album 'Echo' is boomshank!
