anyway just of the top of my head i'd have to say Bjork,
Tori Amos, NIN, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Type O Negative, My
Bloody Valentine and of course Aphex Twin and Autechre :)

yes oasis. Definetly Maybe is what got me into playing
guitar. I'll never be a music snob and pretend I don't like
early Oasis just because they aren't popular anymore. It's a
great rock n roll album and if anyone begs to differ they
can chew my mouldy smegma.

hmm i went from age 5 to 14 in the 90s...so i didn't buy
many of these artists when they came out! but i think the
best stuff to come out in the 90s were pj harvey, bjork,
tori amos, autechre of course...boc, bola....

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

the '90s were fucking sweet

Points: 14294 Status: Lurker



I'd go for Aenima rather than Undertow.
So, that'd be:
Tool - Aenima
Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie (probably their biggest
acheivment, but I like Siamese Dream personally)
Coil - Love's Secret Domain
Raiohead - OK Computer
and of course Nirvana - my personal favorite would be In
Utero

I didn't include autechre or aphex twin just because, well,
I never listened to them when I was in the 90's, for most of
my childhood really


 

offline mimi on 2003-06-20 23:46 [#00749965]
Points: 5721 Status: Regular



hmm, if we're doing releases here, i would go with skinny
puppy's the process, tori's little earthquakes, bjork's
homogenic, pj's to bring you my love, nine inch nails' the
downward spiral, anything released by ae in the 90s, depeche
mode's songs of faith and devotion and ultra....eminem's the
slip shady lp!

hey man, how is the wind over @ Dexter this time of year?
Boats are out at Fern Ridge, but I'm looking for a change of
pace for my sailing venue.

yeah, lemme know if there is any breeze out there that you
know of. thanx :D

Sorry about the off topic.

I've never been sailing, we just have a normal boat. Dexter
is very cold, being the bottom of a couple lakes really,
lookout and fall creek. I don't know what a good wind would
be.

ALso, there are lots of dead people in Dexter lake.
You know, 'cause of the boat races.

whoa, really?

I'm here some a summer course, and I kinda was just looking
to mix it up.

Maybe I'll stick to my ditch?

Points: 14294 Status: Lurker



Haha, I don't think people die so often in the boat races,
but they do, and its hard to find the body in that murky
water. It's a very dark lake. The town actually used to be
there, but they moved all the houses, back whenever the army
built the resevoir. I think in the 40's or something.
As for sailing, I just don't know, might want to ask a
sailor.

you might be right... but I bought the first one.... what
was the name?? life park?? and I preferred great scape so
much more... I love the last song in there... I really love
that album


 

offline manicminer from Paris (France) on 2003-06-21 06:08 [#00750141]
Points: 1423 Status: Lurker



the first blur album was called "leisure", then there was
"modern life is rubbish", "parklife", "the great escape",
"blur", "13" and the most recent one (I think it came out
about a month ago, haven't heard it yet) - "think tank".

sorry nacmat, i don't mean to say that you are wrong. it's
all a matter of taste and opinion. i just think it's their
weakest, most "pop" album. still some good tracks on it
though! :)

Radiohead- OK Computer/The Bends
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
Aphex Twin- RDJ Album
Manic Street Preachers- The Holy Bible

I wasn't crazy about the 90's and it wasn't crazy about me.

I love that album, it sounds so devastatingly dark!

'90s
