left out some bands that stayed way big well into the '90s (REM, U2) and some bands who preceded grunge but kinda rode that wave to a higher post-Nirvana profile (Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Soul Asylum, etc.)

^^^ all good

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:46 (twelve years ago)

would've gone for Lloyd Cole's "She's a Girl and I'm a Man" over "Tell Your Sister" though.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago)

there are some good, good songs here

there is also Morrissey

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago)

I really, really want to vote Sugar or Duran Duran, but it's really New Order.

C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:49 (twelve years ago)

making a playlist and forcing myself to listen to this fucking Adam Ant song again

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:49 (twelve years ago)

for nearly maybe half these artists these songs were like my first exposure to them, which in some cases is pretty laughably unrepresentative

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago)

I listened to so much modern rock radio at the time, but I never heard Poison Heart.

how's life, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago)

that Adam Ant song was actually a top 40 hit!

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago)

i know! it was everywhere! and awful!

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago)

I like "Friday, I'm In Love" a lot but it would never, ever occur to me to vote for it here given some of the other choices

leaning towards "I Feel You" but "Regret" and "Disappointed" are both fantastic as well

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago)

was pretty confused when my other exposure to Adam Ant at that time was a NIN cover

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago)

oh fuck I missed "Disappointed."

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago)

I literally know barely any of these by name. Assume I'd recognise them if I heard them.

comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago)

some dude, is this playlist on Spotify?

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago)

I owned the cassingle to "Wonderful" because it was on sale as a promotional item for 75 cents and I wanted to know how he'd sound in '95.

I could have bought a pack of gum.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago)

also love "Ordinary World" and "Walking On Broken Glass"

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago)

So much of this is "lol college radio" for me. This was basically my station's playlist!

Oh shit, I missed Nick Heyward on there. Great song. And that Kate Bush is not to be overlooked, either.

Please tell me "Thomas Dobly" is a Spinal Tap homage and not a typo.

C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago)

will be, still workin on it

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago)

haha oops, sorry Thomas Dolby

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago)

I stopped paying attention to Thomas Dolby after "Airhead" so I had no idea this song existed

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago)

My college station played 90 percent of these hits. Every #1 and top ten from summer and fall '92.

lolnineties moment: the station played "These Are Days" when the election was called for Bill Clinton.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:00 (twelve years ago)

assumed Thomas Dobly was a Tap-ism tbh

movember spawned a nobster (Noodle Vague), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:00 (twelve years ago)

polls like this always make me think "wow college radio was odd" but not in a good way

not found on US spotify: the B-52s, General Public, Ian McCulloch, Love And Rockets, Peter Gabriel, and The Psychedelic Furs (who have the distinction of not having their biggest late period hit on ANY best-of collection!)

it's weird to finally hear the entire David Byrne song from one of my favorite Beavis & Butthead segments

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 16:30 (twelve years ago)

I loved that Byrne album at the time and the tour was one of the five or six best I've ever seen but, wau, that cover

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:31 (twelve years ago)

pretty sure you just made up 90% of these

Knut Horowitz, Able-Bodied Investment Banker and Ladies Man (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago)

I don't know if any of us could make up the chorus of Murphy's "The Sweetest Drop" (CONCUR AND SWALLOW MEEEE)

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago)

I have never not voted for "The Globe" on an ilx poll and this ilx poll is no exception. But "Walking On Broken Glass" is honorable competition for this one, and unlike much of the stuff on this list was a massive hit outside alt-rock circles. Was Annie Lennox solo actually big before this album?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago)

i could only hum less than 50% of these before making the playlist so i may as well have made the other half up

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago)

"Walking" is from Lennox's solo debut -- she's grandfathered in on the basis of her previous group, like Westerberg and Byrne, etc.

some dude, Monday, 5 November 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago)

this playlist has confirmed at least one thing; this Adam Ant song is TERRIBLE

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:52 (twelve years ago)

no one really wanted to here him Adam Anting all over a Sundays instrumental, right?

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:53 (twelve years ago)

the LALALALALALIED part is the grossest thing I've ever heard.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago)

Crowded House, "Locked Out"
Duran Duran, "Ordinary World"
INXS, "Not Enough Time"
10,000 Maniacs, "These Are Days"

imo these tracks stand with the artists' best work. leaning toward duran on the basis of: a quality single, adult contemporary or no, was the last thing anyone expected of them when this thing dropped.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago)

Erasure, "Always"

Dark horse imo. Not quite their best but p damn good and should get a lift in the poll thanks to Robot Unicorn Attack.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago)

oh wow I'd forgotten how much I hated "The Globe" until right now this second

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago)

I quite like "Not Enough Time," shufflebeat and all. I prefer "Come Undone" these days but "Ordinary World" was a well-written hair metal ballad filling a gap.

"Locked Out" rode a bit of the Reality Bites wave.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago)

xp: it's like that song that was designed off of focus grouping to be the most annoying song in the world, only without ending up hilarious and awesome

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago)

HOLY FUCK THIS SONG IS STILL GOING, WHAT THE HELL

who knew 6 minutes could last several lifetimes

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago)

Okay "Always" is like the goddamn Candyman but worse. Say it just once and it is in your head all day.

May have to vote for it on the basis of Respect The Earworm.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago)

huh, "Always" isn't on the playlist

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:09 (twelve years ago)

I'm shocked you can't immediately recall it from memory!

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago)

I tended to avoid Erasure like the plague after hearing their non-"Chains of Love" material; in fact, there are probably only 3-4 Erasure songs I've heard that don't make me hate everything in the world (CoL, "Chorus", "Love To Hate You", "A Little Respect" if I'm in the right mood or hearing the Wheatus cover)

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago)

"Always" has a lovely chorus but the electronics....

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:20 (twelve years ago)

video for "Jump They Say" is one of his very best

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago)

oh I loved Behaviour immediately, "Being Boring" is a fantastic album opener and kind of an encapsulation of their entire career aesthetic up to that point in 7 minutes

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago)

Outside and Earthling both seemed to make a big overall splash in America than Black Tie White Noise, if not on the modern rock chart per se

ICY BRO (SPECIAL GUEST) (some dude), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:00 (twelve years ago)

There's a discussion on the Bowie blog on this very point. Those of us who discovered Bowie in the earl nineties were in for a shock: he was never more uncool and ridiculous. But by the time Nirvana covered "The Man Who Sold The World" the plates started to shift so that by the time the nineties ended his influence was almost overstated.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago)

yeah that rings true w/ how it felt to me. the co-headlining tour w/ Nine Inch Nails felt like a big moment of generational acceptance.

ICY BRO (SPECIAL GUEST) (some dude), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:14 (twelve years ago)

even so SPIN voted Bowie "Most unwelcome comeback" or something in its year-end '95 issue

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago)

Earthling seemed pretty welcomed at the time, and marketed as a proper comeback record.

Depeche Mode and The Cure had a bunch of top 10's after the songs mentioned here. "Only When I Lose Myself" and "Wrong Number" come to mind.

billstevejim, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago)

yeah as i mentioned, maybe in Alfred's 93 thread, i thought about taking Cure and Depeche out of the running on an REM/U2 tip.

ICY BRO (SPECIAL GUEST) (some dude), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago)

I still can understand why they're mentioned here.

billstevejim, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:28 (twelve years ago)

it's probably just post-election glow but f it "these are days" is killing me and imma vote for it.

sug life (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago)

ha 10kM did play that song at Clinton's inaugural ball

Citizen Ship (some dude), Thursday, 8 November 2012 02:22 (twelve years ago)

The run from Morrissey through Paul Westerberg is my favorite part of the Spotify playlist so far.

o. nate, Friday, 9 November 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago)

Hey ship, here's another old timer who scored a couple hits pre-Nirvana: Richard Thompson ("I Feel So Good" #15).

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 12 November 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago)

although Wiki's not showing it I thought one of the Mirror Blue singles charted.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 12 November 2012 15:00 (twelve years ago)

ahh yeah i should've remembered that he was in the mix. stuff that never made the top 10 was harder to find without knowing what to look for, though.

my hands tra cer (some dude), Monday, 12 November 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago)

billboard.com doesn't have anything charting after "i feel so good," which i think was just before Nevermind

da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2012 16:36 (twelve years ago)

a british guitarist who did technically get left out (though obv i don't actually care) - Robyn Hitchcock, who made it all the way to #19 in 1993 with "Driving Aloud (Radio Storm).

da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago)

really if you couldn't crack the top 10 of the alternative chart, nobody at your record company thought you had a "big post-nevermind hit"

da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago)

ahhh Hitchcock definitely had wanted to include him to.

don't really care about whether the hits were big, the biggest of small hits is enough.

So apparently Nick Heyward first metamorphosed into Sam Rockwell:

otm!

these were my first couple of years of obsessive radio-listening so there are many nostalgic and somewhat guilty pleasures here, but even after all this time I still like that Duran Duran song more than their properly huge 80s hits

I know/hope this has probably just made several people sigh and shake their head and mutter at the screen, but still, voting for that

a panda, Malmö (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 12 November 2012 22:59 (twelve years ago)

Why not? It's a good song.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 12 November 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago)

the sugar is the only one i knew or liked much at the time. but now, either "regret" or "walking in broken glass" i think.

haha nice. i feel like i shoulda gone w/ my gut that The Cure and Depeche Mode had too many post-91 hits to count, feel like they sucked up a lot of votes from more interesting songs.

bish don't kill my bosch (some dude), Thursday, 15 November 2012 00:54 (twelve years ago)

My vote was for Poison Heart, but I had forgotten how much I used to love What's Good. It would have been close.

how's life, Thursday, 15 November 2012 00:57 (twelve years ago)

OK, so there are at least five songs (Midnight Oil, Westerberg, Sting, The The, XTC) on this list with prominent harmonica parts. i blame these guys for prepping the alt rock charts for the Blues Traveler/Alanis takeover that would soon follow.

oh true

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 15 November 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago)

that said it's crazy "devil you know" hit #1. must have been quite the promo push.

da croupier, Thursday, 15 November 2012 23:11 (twelve years ago)

It must have been a one-single push because the album vanished (I owned it lol. The sleeve claimed it was the "first album ever recorded on computer" or something.
