Of that list, I'd pick OK Computer, with The Bends oh so close behind.
Some of my other favorites (besides the Blur and Pulp records you already mentioned) would be:
The Sundays, Reading Writing and Arithmetic
The Stairs, Mexican R&B
Seal, debut
The La's
Teenage Fanclub, Bandwagonesque (might be my overall favorite from the 90s)
Stone Roses, debut (name escapes me at the moment)
David Bowie, Outside
David Bowie, Earthling
David Bowie, Black Tie, White Noise
Brutal Youth
All This Useless Beauty

Stone Roses debut is without a doubt a masterpiece. but its not a 90´s record. (it was released in 89).noiseradio wrote:Of that list, I'd pick OK Computer, with The Bends oh so close behind.

Yes. And I quote here, bambi, not to annoy you, but because Different Class is so indisputably a better record than This Is Hardcore that I just think Bob & Charlotte said it best. So why am I posting? Good question...Bob And Charlotte wrote:of course it is. hands downbambooneedle wrote:So is Different Class better than This Is Hardcore? Hmmm.

D'oh! I first heard it in 1990. I guess it took a while to get to Abilene, TX.Bob And Charlotte wrote:

Soup Dragons - the one with I'm Free. Loved that record.

She's right, you know. Great Britian: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland. Perfectly correct to use the term "British" for all of the above, evn though some folks may wish things were otherwise. (The Union Jack, after all includes St. George's, St. Andrew's, and St. Patrick's crosses. Wales got left out ).
So Teenage Fanclub is in.

Bands that are not british.....U2...that's it.
Great Britain = England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I am Scottish and British. Ok, depending on your outlook/religion/politics, some people in Scotland, Wales and Norn Ireland will claim that they're not british....but they technically are. I don't see why the idea of the UK is so hard to grasp...it's a little like saying Im Texan and American, expcept british countries have a greayer sense of identity (hey, maybe Texas wasn't a good example to use there then! ).
Noise..Wales got left out of the Union Jack because it has always been pretty close to England, as much as many patriotic welshmen will deny it...they were part of proto-britain when the UJ was made in the 17th century.
Most people would probably say Oasis' What's the story morning glory in terms of popularity and influence.
I would have to say The Bends though, if we're only talking 90s bands...also
Pulp's Different Class
The Manic Street Preacher's The Holy Bible
The Stone Roses's The Stone Roses
Travis' The Man Who,
The Verve's Urban Hymns,
Blur's 13,
Coldplay's Parachutes
Ocean Colour Scene's Moseley Shoals

She's right (Scotland and Wales), but you're not, nor Crow. The correct definition is GB = the first three, it's only the political entity of 'the United Kingdom of GB and Northern Ireland' that includes the latter. Of course many Northern Irish people, sad to say, regard themselves as 'British', but that's the legacy of fucked-up history for you.noiseradio wrote:She's right, you know.

In mainland Europe (and no doubt elsewhere), it's a common misconception to think that English = British, which is like saying Catalans are Castillians, etc.
I'd go for The Bends, myself.

Withdrawn. You're quite right, and I should know better. That's exactly what I teach my students, so at least I got it right when it counts. All the sneering Orangemen in the world don't make Northern Ireland British, even in title. Remind me not to shoot my mouth off in Ulster--might start another Rising.
