oh and all the really annoying girly fronted rock outfits like Garbage, Republica, Skunk Annansie and Alanis Morrissette.
I remember in my school there was a period where if there were meant to be a fight on, but one or both of the people refused to fight and started walking away everyone would start singing the Cast song Walkaway! Funny stuff at the time
Yeah Cast were bloody annoying. Garbage had a decent debut album and Version 2.0 wasnt bad, but Alanis Morrissette. God I hated that screechy woman. :mad:Quote:

Anyone mention The Auteurs? And direct from Sweden Dr. Alban and Ace of Base.
Dr Alban is a legend in my eyes. My favourite video of his is linked below. The song is in Swedish (trust me the video is the highlight of this song) and tells us the dangers of 10 small boys acting the mick on their scooters. There are ten verses in the song - each verse details a scooter-boy being "knocked-off". The chorus simply is translated as "Hello scooter-boys, think about what you're doing!"
Dr. Alban - Tio Små Moppepojkar ("Ten Small Scooter-boys")

Anyone remember Daphne & Celeste? “Ooh Stick You” and all that. Rubbish of course but deserve a mention alone for getting pelted with an unbelievable amount of objects at Glastonbury. More bubblegum pap likes Steps you can throw in too. Urgh. Dr. Alban? Was he the guy who sang ‘Sing Hallelujah”?
I remember that Pauro. I thought it was at Reading/Leeds though. Might be wrong. Some smart arse thought it'd be a good idea to stick them on the main stage where they got pelted with bottles of p*ss for a solid half hour. HilariousQuote:

Didn't Kelly Osbourne get pelted with bottles of **** at loads of different venues when she was playing support to Robbie Williams?Quote:

Northside - Limited baggy band from the Madchester scene. Released "Chicken Rhythms" LP in 1991 (I think). "Take 5" single charted.
Didn't the House of love tou last year? Nearly sure my next door neighbour went to see them.
Yeah, played a few dates here last year and released an ok album.Quote:

Have to admit Shirley Manson from Garbage does it for me
Vaguely remember them, did they have some really annoying song in 1995 or 1996 in the summer? There were loads of annoying songs that summer whichever one it was.Quote:

In A Room was'nt bad either. Wasnt their guitarist dating Denise Van Outen? He was an ugly git too if I remember rightly.
Yep. More famous though for 'It's My Life', you know the one with the video where the young wan zips around in the white trousers playing tennis and trampolining and pouring blue liquid over everything. :DQuote:

Dunno but they played the Olympia in March and chinchilla and haddock are also part of Paul Weller's backing group.Quote:

Soul Asylum (started in the 80s but only broke through for a few yearsin the 90s, their new album is quite good btw)
Sugar
Blind Melon
They're just the ones I'm not completely embarrassed to remember!
Also Jebus I never knew you were into Gene... how can two people hang out for 8 years without that one coming to light? :D
Fairwell to Twilight was a good song. They'd not many more though.Quote:

25th of May is another forgotten band I was only listening to this morning.
their frontman Mark Lanegan had a sole jobbie out last year i think, may have been called Bubblegum, but definately had a decent single,Hit The City, on it.Quote:

Isobel Campbell had him doing a duet album with her a year or two ago as well, 'Ballad Of The Broken Seas'. Quite good it was too.Quote:

Edit to add: that's just put me in mind of a few more bands of about that time I thought were brilliant. Maybe some of them were very late '80s into the '90s, but what harm.
Ultra Vivid Scene - Always put me in mind of Beck the way he played everything himself, but more blissed out obviously, less dancey.
King Of The Slums - Class act. Still think Barbarous English Fayre is one of the best albums I've heard.
and Paris Angels - All On You is just about the perfect dance pop song, easily the equal of anything St Etienne produced.
The Real People should have been huge. There were two brothers in the band, if memory serves.Quote:

They were a big influence on Noel Gallagher and actually offered advice and help on hearing the demo of "Columbia" and some of the tunes that ended up on Definitely Maybe.
Have to go out and buy the bloody album now - if its still available!!! :)
Catatonia, fell apart after Cerys lost the plot
I was mad to see them at Witnness in 2001, she went into rehab the previous wednesday and had to cancel.
Soul Asylum are still going, quality band, just no promotional stuff. black gold is savage. loads of songs as good as runaway train. still going. its just people forgot about them/usual ppl who only listen to the radio to buy albums. LIke most of the crap bands out now ppl only buy their albums cos they heard them on the radio, thankfully they will all be forgotten soon, like strokes/that other crap irish band from dublin/white stripes/all those other crap bands in that genre of music.....though i am suprised the killers are still going.
They've been going strong for 7 years and 10 years respectively , dont see people just forgetting about themQuote:

ya but they are crap, no more of the sensationalism about them and all that, just like that dublin band that i cant think of, oh the thrills thats them. all this stuff is just a fad. gone in no time. gustavo when i say gone, i dont mean they still arent playing away i mean just no one has any interest, or at least 60% less than had when they were all hype. The one band that i thought werent all hype but went this way are soul asylum and htey have been around for 15 - 20 years. So just because they are still releasing albums doesnt mean scheiser.
Oh ya franz ferdinand theres another one.....
Listen, you like W.A.S.P. !!!
Anyway I agree with you on Franz Ferdinand and the Strokes, just think The White Stripes are a different animal. Last album wasn't great but they certainly are a fine duo.
ya wasp have been going for 20 years and were never that big or sensationalised.
white stripes maybe, should not have been put there :) I just couldnt think of anymore particular examples, probably because they were all blown up and then forgotten about - in my mind too.
