Mental note taken.

Always preferred 'The Real Thing' but at the time (1993), nothing had ever been released like this before. I saw them on the subsquent tour and they were brilliant (i also saw them at Wembley Stadium supporting Guns N Roses and they got the crowd to boo instead of cheer after every song!) Yep, great stuff. This was their big time major label album wasnt it ? Still not as good as Daydream Nation but still a cracker. Now theres a man who could take some drugs! Always thought STP were somewhat over-rated im afraid! Is this the one with 'Vaseline' on ? Good call. 'Cannonball' is one of the songs of the 90s.

all together now... 'you sold your history'

Yep!

To a certain extent he has a point about our fans. But quite how a Liverpool fan has the bollocks to boast about lack of crowd trouble in European Finals in utterley beyond me.

Good lord. You know what Loz i forgot about it!!! How could I !!? Ok i swap it with The Happy Mondays and the Mondays can replace the Manics in my bubbling under list! What a great record.

Only if our winning goal in the semi doesnt actually cross the line.

Youre not really helping yourself are you ?

Good God. So The whole world loves Liverpool fans? Of course. In Turin I hear they have fan clubs set up for you lot. And Manchester too. The Cup Of sh*t Club its called. Or The Attacking Ambulance Club. Cant remember which one, Sorry. Statements like yours are the excat reason why I and many other across the world hate your lot. Only a shirtburner could write such self indulgent, self righteous drivel. Because, that is what it is. Drivel.

You have no idea just what an unproductive day i am having at work today. Yep, its my attempt at a thread that will go to 22 pages and stir up lots of debate and hopefully tonnes of musically snobbery. So, the 90s. A strange decade. Lots of good stuff. Lots of sh*te. It was hard doing this list. I really struggled - i think only 3 or 4 of these would get into my top 20 or 30 albums of all time. Apart from Depeche Mode and maybe The Pixies none list of faves most of which had a very minimal musical input during this deacde. So heres my top 10 in no particular order. And i will try and refraid from sounding like a fancy dan cynical journalist from NME for each description but i cant help but be patronising and aloof when it comes to music im afraid. 1. Leftfield - Leftism (1995) My first 'dance' record and by a thousand miles the best 'dance' record i own. I doubt there isnt a song that hasnt been used on an advert but dont let that put you off. Is this modern classical music ? No. Its good though. 2 - Depeche Mode - Violator (1990) Bleak. Claustropphic. Wonderful. You can dance to it, love to it and despair to it. My Dad would say you could fall alseep to it, and trust me thats the biggest recomendation i could give you. 3 My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991) This is a very loud record. Its also brilliant. It nearly put Creation out of business (some might say that wouldve been a good thing, see number 10) 4 Ride - Nowhere (1991) Am i allowed to put a Sixth Form floppy hair album in ? Cheers. This will do then. Ride were from Oxford. And they were better than Radiohead. 5 Happy Mondays - Pills N Thrills N Bellyaches (1990) Was Shaun Ryder a drug sozzled layabout ? No doubt. But he sure could write a song. 'Kinky Afro' still makes me want to dance like a monkey. Or as some would say, simply dance. 6 Rufus Wainwright - ST (1998) Id never heard anything like this before when it came out. I still havent. You cant pigeon hole this, or indeed any of his subsequent relaseses. File under : Not for everyone. 7 The Pixies - Bossanova (1992) This is really only my 3rd favorite Pixies record (the first two are my first two) but it shows how much ive struggled with the 90s that this has made it here. Not that this isnt brilliant mind. 8 Whiskeytown - Strangers Almanac (1998) Only really got into Whiskeytown after I got into Ryan Adams in 2000. Im now his biggest fan and try and got hold of everything he has put to tape. Which is a sh*t load of stuff. This is less countryfied than their debut and you can see where Adams was trying to go. There all hated each other by now and were always pissed as farts which adds something to it i guess. 9 Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith & Devotion (1993) I do not apolgise for putting two DM albums in this list. How could they follow up Violator ? An record about faith ? It sounds like a disaster. But it is i am thrilled to say a fantastic record that still sounds fresh 14 years on. This was the first time they embraced the guitar as an instrument. A legacy which lives to this day. 10 Oasis - Definitley Maybe (1994) Sorry Mike. As ive said before in other music threads i understand how people hate Oasis. But I was 18 when this came out so it was perfect for me. An album about fags and beer and most of all living the dream. I'll have a bit of that i thought. And i did. In surburbia. Bubbling Under : Janes Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual Morrissey - Your Arsenal Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Angelo Badalmenti - Twin Peaks Soundtrack Let hear the abuse then! EDITED - I cannot believe i forgot Jeff Buckley!!!

If there are any doubts, he shouldnt be risked. Simple as. Its only Spuds after all.

spot on brit. lets not forget that we were only days away from winning the league for the first time in 50 years and that somewhat overshadowed the occasion. if it happens again there is no way the atmosphere will be anything other than electric. and if we go to anfield for the 2nd leg we will be prepared for the 'wall of noise' SKY and it wont affect this time like it did 2 yeara ago. that and having a linesman with eyes would help too. good god, i want to play liverpool in the semis so much. please let both teams go through.

I think we should withdraw now. The shirtburners are clearly going to win this competition. Its a done deal. How can they fail with the best player in the world and the best defender in the world in their ranks. Add to that the Kop 'roar' and its a foregone conclusion. All together now. 6 times!

So who plays for Valencia then ? Villa, Ruben Baraja, Joaquin , Morientes - anyone else ? Blimey, its gonna be a toughie. Think its imperitive we keep a clean sheet at SB.

Perfect. Liverpool in the semis, away second leg. That is what i called unfinshed buisness. I will be cheering them on against PSV because i want that tie SOOOOOOOOOOO much. We owe them. Lets beat Valencia first thoguh of course!

They listened Loz! Well done Chelsea!!!!

the sandal wearing Guardian reading Gooner at my work said today he has had enough and that he has destroyed his season ticket

yup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS3CFEhi08Q Born in Worksop no less.

Personally i think Riccy deserves a mention too, but still is miles behind Drogba and Essien, both of whom should be up for PFA Player Of The Year - which as we all know the media have decided Ronaldo is going to win assuming the Worlds greatest ever defender 'Carra' doesnt pip him to it (based on one game against a half fit Eto'o and an overweight and mostly disinterested Ronaldinho)

Good stuff as always mate. Very funny. But i think you should get out more!!!!

if i did that you get most likley get it straight away. what i will say is that the song was from a 80s teen movie

Neither. He is English though, which amazes me.

who is this and what was his only hit (at least in England) ?

ah ok, biggest selling single. Could that be Massachusetts ?
