Good question!

― sleep (sleep), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

1. Sleater-Kinney (don't know the exact date debut was released, 1995 is close enough)

2. White Stripes

3. Drive-By Truckers

4. Eminem

5. Wilco

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Black Dice
Stars of the Lid
Boards of Canada
Arcade Fire
Manitoba

Honorable mention: Mu, Godspeed You Black Emperor, A-Frames, Liars, Prefuse 73, Mogwai, cLOUDDEAD.

I'm probably forgetting a lot.

kornrulez: technically Wilco just miss out (A.M. = Mar 28, 1995). We could just say anytime in 1995 = OK though, for convenience.

Which you suggest re: S-K, but I didn't read!

― sleep (sleep), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

Electric Six
Nellie McKay
Kimya Dawson
Interpol
Sleater-Kinney

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

1. Jay Z. well, he sorta counts since he didn't really find his style until late '95 with "in my lifetime" remix and then blossomed with "dead presidents" 1 and the "reasonable doubt" album.

2. Queens Of The Stone Age.

3. Capone N Noreaga. For "the war report". Grimiest New York rap album ever.

4. M.F Doom. For "operation doomsday" and nothing else, though.

5. Wrangler Brutes.

― Ellis From Die Hard, Wednesday, 29 June 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

JAY-Z!
The White Stripes
Missy Elliott
Queens of the Stone Age
Daft Punk (I'm still holding out hope...)

Timbaland (probably debuts too early, but he's sure dominated the decade)
Swizz Beatz
Eminem
Max Martin
Beat-In-Azz

And maybe producers/writers/performers (whoever they are) involved in Paradisio's "Bailando" and Aqua's "Lollipop (Candyman)" depending on what else they did and when they debuted.

(I hope someone votes for Big & Rich and Miranda Lambert.)

Frank, you're going to defend this much (much!) more eloquently than I can argue against it...but..Swizz Beatz? sucks.

*runs away*

*comes back to say - "Death Cab. I know! I had to!"*

*runs away again*

― cicatrix, Thursday, 30 June 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

Radiohead debuted in 1993.

― zeus, Thursday, 30 June 2005 08:36 (twenty years ago)

1. At the Drive In
2. Wheat
3. ...Trail of Dead
4. Death Cab for Cutie
5. Wilco

(I know some of these formed in 1994, but I'm going on debut album releases, if that's ok).

― bg (creamolafoam), Thursday, 30 June 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

Radiohead debuted in 1993.

my bad..I misread the title as "Top 5 Bands/albums.."

replace with The White Stripes, I guess.. But then The Roots can't be on there either... forget it, I suck at this.

I guess Max Martin debuted before 1995 too.

As a matter of fact, no. The first hit song written by Max Martin was "Wish You Were Here", the third single by Rednex, which was a hit in Scandinavia in mid 1995.

― Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 30 June 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Even with all these bands listed, I'm still leaving mine at Mira and Mira alone (although I'm pretty fond of Xiu Xiu and their sheer ridiculousness -- and I'd suggest Roy Montgomery if I had more albums of his and were it not for him having been in The Pin Group in 1981 and other bands like Dadamah and Dissolve).

Lambchop? Do they make it?

apparently, in the US, the biggest selling new artist of the last ten years is Shania Twain.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 30 June 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

1. Pole
2. Cannibal Ox
3. Luomo
4. Cee-Lo
5. Dead Prez

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 30 June 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Lambchop do not make it. Neither, I don't think, do Belle and Sebastian.

― Derek Krissoff (Derek), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

The first hit song written by Max Martin was "Wish You Were Here", the third single by Rednex, which was a hit in Scandinavia in mid 1995.

Yeah, but nonhit Swedish glammetal band It's Alive released its first and only album in the early 1990s, lead singer Max Sandberg, later changed name to Max White and then Max Martin.

Classic Web commentary on this (by a fellow named John York):

Max Martin, a failed Swedish heavy metal discontent who, upon realizing his band It's Alive was anything but, turned to destroying the genre that he could never successfully master. He and another music terrorist by the name of Rami have teamed up to form the unholy duo behind the annoyingly catchy and unabashedly 'bourgeois pop' tunes performed by Britney Spears, N*Sync, and The Backstreet Boys.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Thursday, 30 June 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sleater-Kinney
Patrick Wolf
Interpol
Daft Punk

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 30 June 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

Lambchop do not make it. Neither, I don't think, do Belle and Sebastian.

What did B&S release before Tigermilk in late '96?

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

Haha, or May '96 anyway!

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

unabashedly 'bourgeois pop' tunes performed by Britney Spears, N*Sync, and The Backstreet Boys.

This is new for me!

― sleep (sleep), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

Sorry to come over all pedantic, I have a couple of Supernaturals EPs that pre-date 1995. Delgados pre-date June 1995 by a couple of months (Monica Webster out in Feb 95)

My list, for what it's worth:

Belle and Sebastian
White Stripes
Franz Ferdinand
Camera Obscura
Scissor Sisters

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:11 (twenty years ago)

"bourgeois pop" is an excellent term, and quite hysterical.

― Ian Riese-Moraine has been xeroxed into a conduit! (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Interpol
Basement Jaxx
Fifty Foot Wave
Muse
Kaiser Chiefs (ha!)

― Si.C@rter (SiC@rter), Thursday, 30 June 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

Wow. My list is super boring and cliched, but at least I'm being honest. I was expecting to have at least 4 artists who broke during the 90's, but B&S were the only one I could think of. My other four choices made their mark during the first half of the 00's, even though all but one debuted during the 90's. I never really realized this, but I think most of the best albums of the 2nd half of the 90's were made by bands who debuted during the first half. This is a semi-big revalation for me.

Belle And Sebastian (debuted in 1996, breakthrough album in 1997)
Queens Of The Stone Age (debuted in 1997, breakthrough album in 2000)
Sigur Ros (debuted in 1997, breakthrough album released in 1999, but didn't actually break until 2000)
System Of A Down (debuted in 1998, breakthrough album in 2001)
The Strokes (debuted in 2000, breakthrough album in 2001)

― wmlynch (wlynch), Friday, 1 July 2005 02:17 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, y'all are right: Belle and Sebastian's first came out in '96, and they are one of the five best bands to debut in the last ten years.

― Derek Krissoff (Derek), Friday, 1 July 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

Does Two Lone Swordsmen count? Both of it's members debuted before 1995, but the duo itself didn't.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 1 July 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

I'd say yes

― sleep (sleep), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

I'd much rather this was 10 because I had to drop Cut Copy for Sugababes, though seeing all the mentions for the Beta Band reminds me that it's OK to miss a few sometimes.

― Negativa, True Believer (Sheryl Crow in a Britney costume) (Barima), Friday, 1 July 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

yeh, forgot to mention AIR ('Modular' first surfaced in '95 or '96 right?) too.
