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

Hey look, it's not everyday that I'll say Britpop was dull but I did for the sake of argument. I'm just saying that 1994 was when a whole load of exciting stuff was happening because everyone was coming to terms with "hey dance isn't really so bad after all" but after that it got watered down with shit like Bentley Rhythm Ace and stuff.

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

Oddly it reminded me of The Strokes but rocks far harder
