GGW is so lame he could give his over-used tired old jokes a number at this point…he would only need the fingers on one hand to take care of them all.
number 7
…and yet again you pass the idiot test with flying colors.
#4
HAHAHAHAHA HA HA HAHAHAHAHA

That's more like it!

No way…. I would definately put "Carter USM" ahead of Ned's.
what is REM doing there? giving them #20 is that some sort of consolation prize?

the the: Dusk, came out in '93

But:

 1990 
 101 Damnations
 
 1991 
 30 Something

101 damnations is their best, but its too old all the other albums are not that good from what remember.
being magnet, i was surprised that "penthouse" wasn't on that list. speaking of which, anyone notice dean wareham on law and order this week?
The Ned's atomic Dustbin comment was a joke.

You guys don't seriously like them do you? They rank right there With EMF and Jesus Jones in the garbage bin of 90's bad music…

Just because something is "alternative" doesn't make it good!

Why do you think I brought Carter USM up? Jesus Jones and EMF are also great examples of complete crap….yet more proof that the 90's was a bad time for Brit music.

Because Michael Stipe said he would hold his breath until he puked if they weren't on the list.

When was Definately Maybe released? Early Oasis should be on a stupid list like that.
Sorry, not famliar enough with Carter to have grasped your comment properly…

I think God Fodder is a great album.

Top 20 of the 90s? Maybe not. Top 100, definitely.

nah, he was a bartender. . .had like 4 lines though.
not what your bible says…

Say it with me: "Kill! Your! Television!" Jesus Jones, what a joke. I don't know how anyone took these twats seriously, but it really happened. With their cherubic, retarded lead singer flopping around like a muppet on fire, Ned Atomic Dustbin's shook their long-on-top dos to the prevailing beat– namely shoegaze. A pinch of Swervedriver, a touch of Ride, the cheesy Peavey distortion of a thousand bad L.A. bands and some timely looks? International superstardom was a lock. If only John Penney were as dead sexy as Jesus Jones' Mike Edwards, Ned's might have had a shot.

Actually, they just needed a follow-up single, because although "Grey Cell Green" is crack to every college freshman that hears it at some party or on some friend's mixtape, it's hardly enough to secure this album a place in the permanent collection when the beer money grim reaper comes calling a year later. There's actually a band named Grebo now, after the embarrassingly short-lived, overeager "genre" the Brit press coined to discuss Ned's, Carter USM, EMF, The KLF and Pop Will Eat Itself. This year Ned's sank to their inevitable low, releasing the awfully titled Terminally Groovy greatest hits disc. There are plenty of reasons to be nostalgic for the early 90s; these guys aren't one of them.

WOW…Carter USM!! I am SO glad that other folks here remember them. I stayed at Fruitbat's house when I went to London in 1999…he's one of the nicest folks ever. It was kind of funny to see his gold records for "30 Something" and "1992: the Love Album" in his bathroom. They really did make some great records. Their last one "I Blame the Government" was pretty depressing, but I did enjoy "Worry Bomb" a lot. He and Jim Bob wrote some great tunes.
Should be considered:
Massive Attack 'Mezzanine'
Beck 'Odelay' (or Mutations)
Outkast 'Stankonia'
Spiritualized 'Pure Phase'
Luna 'Penthouse'
Palace Brothers 'Viva Lost Blues'
Sparklehorse 'It's a Wonderful Life'
The Verve 'Northern Soul' – instead of Urban Hymns
Blur 'Parklife'
Clinic 'Internal Wrangler'
Radiohead 'The Bends'

How come? I never got to see them live and I was always disappointed by that.

I like all the grebo bands, even jesus jones. Their first album, liquidizer, is well worth a dollar for info freako.
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized would be number 1 on my list.

XTRMNTR by Primal Scream
The Hour of Bewilderbeast by BDB
The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
