    Forgotten Bands from the 90s

    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

    Friend of mine bought te inbetweener single and the first time I saw the cover I thought it said inbentweener.

    Louise Wener was a bit of allright though. Always smuggling peanuts.

    Dubstar interested me.
    This is called Not So Manic Now.
    Stars was a better song but all i can find is a dancey remix and a bad live performance.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Ah yes the 90's left them behind... God I hate it when whippersnappers dont remember that kind of stuff. Makes me feel so old.

    Flowered up were good. The Farm had two good tunes and the rest were muck. Interstella just jumped on the Madchester bandwagon. Electronic had their moments, never as good as they should have been as you'd expect more from a collaboration between Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr.

    I also forgot another band from that category. The Soup Dragons

    Agreed, one of my unfulfilled dreams is to hear Louise Wener scream
    "take it out, take it out!!! ...you'll give me a babba!!!"

    Someone else mentioned The Soup Dragons. Several years before they were a sh1t band jumping the madchester wagon ...they were actually quite good.

    Catatonia 'International Velvet' wasn't half bad. 'Road Rrrrrrrage' was one of the best singles of the 90's too... Thought Mansun were really under-rated...

    Gene. Missed that one earlier.
    Also Echobelly. They were cursed with the 'Liked by Moz' tag, so doomed from the start.

    couple more I still like

    Shampoo - Girl Power (remember being outraged as a teenager when the Spice Girls ripped this off them)



    Bis - Tell it to the Kids



    Silver Sun - Julia



    {Dammit I can't find any videos for Urusei Yatsura on the net because of the Anime series of the same name, quality band though if anyone can get some of their CDs}

    Can't believe I forgot EMF. Add Jesus Jones and Pop Will Eat Itself.
    Also a band I saw play in the UCD students' bar - Kenickie. Only a handfull there but it meant I could get up close for a good ogle of Lauryn.
