no? oh well.
Gotta be the Spice Girls for me too. They so should have been at Live8 - it would have been beyond the madonna level of fabness.

"He has to be larger than bacon"
The mid-90s were a real peak in musical talent. Of course, I might be looking at it through rose-tinted spectacles, but...
Pulp from my University city - fantastic working-class poetry set to popular music
The Verve Amazing band singing the most beautiful songs - including my favourite non-Queen song "The Drugs Don't Work"
The Orb kicked off my love of ambient music
Wyclef Jean, an obscenely talented American musician which specialised in rap, his zenith being "Gone Til November"
I could go on. The 90s give us so much - I loved the Britpop era. Pity it had to end.

I heard Pulp's 'Common People' on the radio in the sixth form common room and thought it was a seventies track. Loved it so went out and bought 'Different Class' with my first ever pay packet! Memories. His 'n' Hers is by far the best of thier albums.
Orbital were good too. Very unusual to listen to but name another band that used samples of the theme tune to John Craven's Newsround in one of thier tracks?
Always liked Saint Etienne. Their new album is said to be great. I see The Times haven't reviewed it to the best of my knowledge. Probably be a bit biased as one of their reviewers is in the group Saint Etienne.

"That one!"
Good choice, Brad! "Different Class" is fantastic. I would recommend "His and Hers" too - even edgier than "Different Class".Brad wrote:I heard Pulp's 'Common People' on the radio in the sixth form common room and thought it was a seventies track.

Most versions of the lyrics do not include it. But accepting yours to be the more cannon since they come from the album, the 'huh' is put in brackets because it is not part of the main lyrics, nor is it sung by the same person, it's a backing grunt (no other term applies really) made by the other members of the group - look no further than the video of Wannabe to see that.Actually, no.
The actual lyric is
I wanna (huh!) I wanna (huh!) I wanna (huh!) I wanna (huh!)
I wanna really, really, really, wanna zig-a-zig, ah!
And THAT is taken from the inlay page of the Spice Girls album SPICE.
No one person ever sang 'I wanna huh, I wanna huh,' etc as a single part of the song in that nauseatingly cheesy way, but virtually every recreation of it I've ever heard/seen has featured a lead singer doing exactly that, which was my point, and again, is why no one managed to make it sound like the Spice Girls.
Thank you Brad for mentioning Saint Etienne - I stuck on "Too Young To Die" the other day, cracking CD, not a bad song out of 15.
My favourite band during the 1990s were Ace of Base, still like some of their songs as well. The first CD single I bought was "The Sign", and I remember my brother going into Virgin in Belfast to buy a cassette single of some indie band I can't remember, and when he got home and put the tape on it was "All That She Wants" instead!
