Seeing the mock turtles on TOTP the other night reminded me of how many shite bands clung onto the roses and the mondays coat-tails for dear life. Can anyone else think of any other shite baggy bands or shite bands who had a baggy makeover in the early 90's? Apart from Paris Angels Northside Inspiral Carpets ( although this is debatable. They were around at the start.) Soup Dragons If you're not too bothered I'm not either. All the interest I had seemed to disappear as i was writing. |

I used to hang around with a couple of those cunts in the art school in glasgow. Can't remember their names though. God, they were shite. What was their debut single called? |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Whiteout - Detroit (Lindsay/Carrol/Smith/Jones) ring any bells? i know their A&R guy who signed them to silvertone. he signed the stone roses over from geffen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want to go to a big ambient party and lie on the floor |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not at all. my memories of that time are sketchy to say the least. He signed the stone roses to geffen? I hope he got the sack for that move. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE WALTONES. They were good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, FROM geffen TO silvertone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE FARM. THE FARM. the fucking FARM. They were AWFUL. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's OK, then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the farm. thanks for that. i now have that truly piss poor 'alltogether now' in my head. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Every single one of them was a fucking navvy. The worst looking pop group ever. Got to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about that band that did that track 'hardcore uproar' who had that little weird midget guy who'd do that weird stuttering ararararardcoreuproar? anyone remember that? it was pretty david lynch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really connected but does anyone know the track 'acid news' where there's samples of maggie thatcher going'lets have a party lets have a party rave rave' ? my mate found a copy the other day and its got steve coogans name on it. so its a bit connected. |

The Charlatans The guy from Candy Flip went on the front Britrockers Apes, Pigs & Spacemen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait a minute. The charlatans were in at the start. And they weren't shite. Apes, pigs and spacemen?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh fuck I remember them, and their dreadlocked twat of a singer. And the Charlatons were and still are shite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
charlatans are from fuckin northwich not mcr. they just started saying they were from mcr when the roses got big. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe. I even bought the album. Shocking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey don't get me wrong. I'm NOT a charlatans fan. I just think they can't be grouped in with the farm, northside, candyflip etc. That's all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hi Bill. wot about 'Slowdive'? probably more 'shoegazers'.... };> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha candy flip, the farm..... how about EMF? is that bad enough? shit dr alban? haha dr alban feat tim burgess haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even the 'good' Madchester bands were mediocre. It was all a media hype thang. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sure joy div, the fall, sec 25, acr.. yeah all shit.. youre right it was all media hype. not like the london music industry oh no.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope you're not including the happy mondays and the stone roses in that statement. two of the most important bands of all time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They were maNchester, george. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah not \mad yeah ok i gerrit. still bobbins though. when i first saw them i thought they were a stone roses tribute band. really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, ha. There's nothing like accepted wisdom eh? |
||||||||

The Charlatans were and are good, they're new album is alright as well. Not life changing, but not bad. The Mondays maaan. I remember when "Bummed" came out. Nice inlay picture. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im trying to think hard there's nothing else you can do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't give me that shit. I was in rooftops in 89 and saw the stone roses play in front of 500 people and I knew then that something special had happened. Bummed was the album which totally opened up my mind to all kinds of music. I was there, I lived it and those two bands changed my life. Shut the fuck up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Stone Roses changed your life? What were you before, a glass of water? |
||||||||

Well you should know all about hilarity mate, since you are the lone provider of it on this messageboard |

The Stone Roses were fucking crap. One half-decent debut and a shocker of a second album and they achieve legendary status to every indie schmindie student from provincial England. Bollox. (But I know you are just being ironic Hicksy) |

Have i really gone that far that people don't know when I'm being serious or not? I am the boy who cried wolf. I was being serious. You are obviously too young or too unfashionable to have experienced it for yourself, jonesy. 1989 was our summer of love. Glasgow Green was our woodstock. The E's were good and we were all immortal. And it was all because of the mondays and the roses. |

Stop it Bill; you're killing me. Next you'll be telling me how crazy Tony Wilson was and how you taught Bez to dance. |

It must be disappointing to have missed out on the most important music revolution since punk. Not to worry though. You might be there when the next one comes along. I met bez once. Funny story..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hardly a music revolution Billy Boy. What mark has it left? Big beat? |
