I really like that Boo Radleys album. You never hear anyone talk about it any more, and the temporary ubiquity of the title track has probably made it deeply unfashionable, but the second half, in particular, is full of gems.

It’s a fair point. I went back and forth between the debut and Dog Man Star, but convinced myself that the former was permissible because it released within weeks of that Select cover with Brett Anderson and the […]

No need to apologise – I enjoyed the list.

Managed to nab a ticket for later in the tour. Can’t wait. They were never fully my band growing up, but it always felt like the entire generation had been issued stock nonetheless. They were the only act who r […]

Massive respect, Freddy. Hope you guys are able to weather the storm and emerge out the other side to brighter days. This too shall pass. ❤️

You cannot make this list without Midnight Request Line on it. Just unthinkable. Dubstep is a bit like Punk, in that you probably need two separate lists for the distinctive British and US flavours – the former […]

This truly is a cultural inferiority complex visible from space.

This remains a great track.

Pencilsqueezer is spot on. For all that columnists have rushed to compare Bob Vylan’s comments to those of Lucy Connolly, vanishingly few have seemingly bothered to go and check the law, which focuses on the i […]

What a brilliant review – you’ve captured it well, particularly the sense of intimacy. I’ve found it to be fairly life affirming being the old guy at the gig. Like you say, it’s actually quite nice to see that […]

Getting to bed on time. Always been hopeless. I just don’t understand volunteering for unconsciousness. Passive listening. If I haven’t spoken in an hour my brain goes to standby. I’ve always been terri […]

Haha – still a no from me.

I feel like you can probably make an argument that Hip Hop’s 90s started in January 1989 when NWA released Straight Outta Compton.

Not really a fan, and feel like it’s spiritually an 80s record.

You didn’t hear this from me, but I’m an absolutely fucking brilliant dancer.

It’s a weird one; it’s technically a Hip Hop album, made by a Hip Hop artist, but it doesn’t have/never had a Hip Hop audience. Probably belongs on whatever list Massive Attack end up on.

Love you for including 93 Til Infinity, The Infamous and Things Fall Apart. All classics. If I was trying to represent the 90s I’d probably go as follows: Illmatic – Nas 36 Chambers – Wu Tang Liquid Swords […]

I struggle to explain why, but Urban Hymns isn’t a Britpop album. The party was over by the time it came out. The one before might be a better fit. Different Class – Pulp What’s The Story – Oasis (Definitely […]
