i hope i'm a lot cooler now?
The rest of my list is wearily predictable, I'm afraid: Grace, Holy Bible, His 'n' Hers, Dummy, Protection, 36 Chambers, Dog Man Star, Tiger Bay, Silver Apples of the Moon, Downward Spiral, Ill Communication, Bluff Limbo, Vitalogy, Parklife, Talking Timbuktu, Patashnik, Aftermath, Wilmot, Lost and Found etc. Should be able to think of some more leftfield ones, but off the top of my head I can't - was that just because 1994 was the sort of year where the decent stuff actually sold?

The more things change, the more I become half-heartedly nostalgic.

the transition was more interesting. The middle was kind of all nice and settled and perhaps a little dull i.e. Britpop, Big Beat

I'd been listening to the charts since 1990 but '94 was the year I became a proper teenager and aware of culture outside of daytime TV and commercial radio. I got a CD player and Blur's Parklife (a 'proper' album by a 'proper' band as opposed to Now Dance comps, I felt so grown up).
My friends and I all loved 'How To Make Friends and Influence People' by Terrorvision; they had a real cult following among teens in my area. We would play video games and listen to Cypress Hill and the Prodigy, knowing our parents would be appalled if they heard them.
We didn't have a lot of money so we'd buy singles from the cut-out bin at the local indie - a lucky dip really. Most were terrible, but some (dEUS) were fantastic.
That Christmas my grandparents came over from the States with a copy of Green Day's 'Dookie'. I was the coolest person ever thanks to that.

1994 is the second best year of that decade for me, with 1997 being the best. Such a huge quantity of great records were released both years.

Still a great record, IMO - I don't care what anyone days. Leagues ahead of their debut, and the best they ever got.

The Wannadies were pretty good. I heard HIT for the first time in ages recently. Great tune.
