QuoteI 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

Moving along - Cast. Christ I fcuking hated Cast. I'd never get tired of punching that gimpy head. He's playing in Dolans soon. Me and my pet brick might take a wee dander down.
oh and all the really annoying girly fronted rock outfits like Garbage, Republica, Skunk Annansie and Alanis Morrissette.

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.Evidently.

... but heh -she did open the doors for a whole generation of female artists who are themselves her enduring legacy -or so that dizzy cow who used edit Smash Hits reckons.Yeah Cast were bloody annoying.

"enduring Legacy"?!?!? WTF? Avril Lavigne and Pink do not an enduring legacy make.

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!"

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. Hilarious
"People say football is a matter of life and death, I believe it is much more important than that".
it was one of the main festivals anyway, that may have been it. I dunno who had the brainwave for it, but fair play, funny stuff! Wish they’d do the same with Mika nowadays, I’d personally be in the front row with ammo.

Rubbish and all as they were , they were from this century i think!
Didn't Kelly Osbourne get pelted with bottles of **** at loads of different venues when she was playing support to Robbie Williams?
As for Daphne and Celeste, anyway who comes up with the lines 'oh stick you, your momma too and your daddy', deserves all the respect they eventually got
Well obviously not forgotten, or else they wouldn't be here now would they? But I got the idea for this thread from talking to a 22 year old about bands like Sleeper, Shed Seven, Silver Sun, Powder and Gene, and that 22 year old not having a clue who I was on about, jesus she didn't even remember Elastica
Anyway I'll start it off by posting up a few videos of Sleeper, who I think were one of the more underrated guitar bands of the 90s, cracking lead singer too
Little Annie
Inbetweener
Sale of the Century
The House of Love - angsty intellectual types who had their moments of quality.
Northside - Limited baggy band from the Madchester scene. Released "Chicken Rhythms" LP in 1991 (I think). "Take 5" single charted.
Quoting years at random since 1975
Didn't the House of love tou last year? Nearly sure my next door neighbour went to see them.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Yeah, played a few dates here last year and released an ok album.
They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
Northern Uproar had one good single "Anyway You Look at It".

They're not as forgotten as I thought!!

I dont think anyone's mentioned the band with the most apt name ever Dodgy.....they certainly were
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.I dont think anyone's mentioned the band with the most apt name ever Dodgy.....they certainly were
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Good Enough is the song i'd say you are thinking of. Staying out for the Summer was good too .
In A Room was'nt bad either. Wasnt their guitarist dating Denise Van Outen? He was an ugly git too if I remember rightly.
