The Brit Poll: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit-Pop Gems of the Last Millennium - CD 2

Easily my LEAST favourite of the 4 CDs in this box. Voted Teenage Fanclub, but even they did way better later on.

"This River Will Never Run Dry" is one of the best songs EVER!

Is it the original version or the live one from XYZ?

Anyway, I've yet to listen to the all the songs, but I doubt I'll like anything here more than "For Love".

sight of you!

Is it the original version or the live one from XYZ?

i like the original version best, have no idea what version is included on this comp.

Geir thinks this is the worst of these CD's but the first seven songs are the best of this whole lot.

"This River Will Never Run Dry" is one of the best songs EVER!

Seconded! "I want to marry in the morning / with the sunlight in our eyes"

Though I've always wondered why the title is "will never" yet he always sings "never will"

oh there's an elephant.. in this room... and we all know what.... will win this pol....

I can't wait to find out whether ILM prefers The Family Cat to Birdland

it better be birdland

Flying - The Telescopes

Simple cos Vapour trail is one of my least fav songs from one of my fav bands :o)

Love that Catherine Wheel song, so that's where my vote goes.

Geir OTM.

Depends on your view of shoegazing of course. Personally I feel that shoegazing, along with Grebo, was among the worst blind alleys in British music ever. No wonder people's attention was mainly across the Atlantic at the time.

"For Love" or "Vapour Trail". Today, the former.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Who is going to be the 1st to say Why Don't You Just FUCK OFF?? ;)

No votes for Thousand Yard Stare? Unbelievable.

Comeuppance was much better than 0-0 AET though.

only 8 votes for MBV. did everyone not bother voting as they thought everyone else would?

Oh man, I wish I had seen this poll, grey cell green is the bee's knees.

Blimey @ strong hidden Manics contingent on ilm.

I can't believe why Ned's Atomic Dustbin didn't walk this

Only Shallow - My Bloody Valentine
Star Sign - Teenage Fanclub
This River Will Never Run Dry - Moose
Sight Of You - Pale Saints

The above songs are all absolute classics in my opinion.

That Moose song is beautiful. This is all I have by Moose. Anybody care to recommend me some other Moose stuff.This is all I have by them

Xpost - didn't realise were are so many Manic maniacs on here.

jesus - i think I'm still pissed from last night

Hahahha oh my god I haven't heard Manic Street Preachers "Stay Beautiful" in about a billion years. I'm going to have to go dig out my cassette of them. Goodness. That could take awhile.

Yeah, actually that Moose song is one of my Top 5 fave Moose songs ever.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to my new friend Ed from the Boston area who actually was the first person I ever met besides me who knew who Thousand Yard Stare was! He doesn't post on ILX, though, sadly.
