What other early 90's Baggy / Dance - Rock bands would SZ's like to see be given a new lease of life if one of their records is used as a campaign song for a politician?

I think Barack Obama should use Sway by Ocean Colour Scene but only if he thinks it is a baggy classic, not because they had a black drummer.

World of Twist...remember them? For any politician 'cos they're all lying, twisting scumbags!

Up the revolution brother! :guns: :eek: :guns:

I used to love Jesus Jones back in the day!

 

[Lester Bangs]

World of Twist had theeeee baggy anthem 'She's like a Rainbow' was the biggest tune in the world and still gets me over excited when I hear it now.

Jesus Jones had their day with Real, Real, Real and International bright young thing but meh they didnt change my world. It was that difficult period just after baggy had died and shoe gazing had properly started around Feb 1991.

The first album of late89/early90 was the best musically though.
It was just the songs you mentioned off Doubt were hits!

Nirvana and their dirty ilk killed baggy and the world was a worse place for it.

I still maintain that it was someone with a bowl cut and a pair of 32" flares that killed Kurt Kobain and not suicide as is widely believed.

Ah ok I didn't appreciate JJ had stuff out before 'Doubt' (which I thought was quite a hit and miss affair to be honest).

Mad Cyril I think your point is very just, I remember reading a copy of NME from late 1991 and on the cover were 'Captain America' it was a very perculiar time for music as there was a definate the shift from home grown talent to these 'noisenicks' in America. A little bit of me died when I last put on a NFADS long sleeved t-shirt.

I refused to accept grunge and instead enjoyed more local talents such as Neds, Wonderstuff, The Senseless Things, Cud and the Jesus and Mary Chain (they were experiencing something of a revival).

Remember The Levellers in their 'dogs on string' days? They were lovely. All political and stuff.

the Jesus and Mary Chain (they were experiencing something of a revival).

I seem to remember one of their comeback tunes being a bit baggy......

Was it 'Far gone and out'?

Good shot about Neds & Cud too! :)
My appreciation of these sorts of bands are what got me into Blur and then as they say the rest is history!

Ahh Sir Slipper of Duke, how did I forget the travelling ones. Yes I did buy a few Levellers albums of course. On hindsight it was just a faze (luckily),

 

[MK Shrimper]

Remember, there is only one way of life...and that's your own....

(While 500 hundred identically dressed students dance in the 'brush) :D

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Carter USM the original line up are reforming this year as well. Great band.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Right here? Right now?

 

[MK Shrimper]

What happened to the Wonderstuff? Didn't they reform recently?

 

[Slipperduke]

Yeah, I was young an impressionable when The Levellers appeared. I didn't like the way that road looked. It looked getting into them would mean a life of not washing and knobbing women with beards. If I wanted that, I'd have just moved to Colchester.

Dirty Davey was good though, and 100 Years of Solitude.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Lol, Slip.......

The crusty fiddlers had some tunes, have to admit. Julie, This Garden....
