Listmania!
Nineties Nostalgia!
Only EverythingOnly Everything by Juliana Hatfield
Buy used from: £1.99
This list is supposed to be about people who were big back then... and tiny tiny now. I'd say Juliana qualifies. Grunge-pop from the first virgin princess.
Pocket Full of KryptonitePocket Full of Kryptonite by Spin Doctors
Buy new: £2.89 / Used from: £0.32
More grunge-pop from bearded guys who were MUCH happier than Kurt. Lightweights, sure, but I'd give them flowers. Maybe even call them baby. Go ahead now, you know you like them!
Grave Dancers UnionGrave Dancers Union by Soul Asylum
Buy new: £4.47 / Used from: £0.98
Did Winona Ryder date every dreadlocked rocker in the 90s? Possibly.
Paranoid and SunburntParanoid and Sunburnt by Skunk Anansie
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.91
Bald, black, lesbian (but not in a wheel-chair), Skin scowled and howled through the nineties. It DID feel good.
Come on Feel the LemonheadsCome on Feel the Lemonheads by Lemonheads
Buy new: £2.97 / Used from: £1.19
Evan Dando was indie pinup number one for a while. Some tender guitar songs on this album.
GarbageGarbage by Garbage
Buy new: £2.84 / Used from: £0.01
Maybe Shirley Manson will be back some day - just look at Gwen Stefani. I hope so anyway. I miss her Scottish council estate drawl.
HomeHome by Deep Blue Something
Buy new: £29.99 / Used from: £0.05
One hit wonder or what? But I bet you recall Breakfast at Tiffanys (that's the one thing we've got).
Don't Get Weird on Me BabeDon't Get Weird on Me Babe by Lloyd Cole
Buy used from: £10.98
Hm, I'm torn. Is he too cool for this list? Possibly. Sings wry pop, is very British and looks good in a suit - he's quite timeless, really.
The Score: Refugee CampThe Score: Refugee Camp by Fugees
Buy new: £3.96 / Used from: £0.45
A Roberta Flack cover was all it took to make it. And a Bob Marley one. The the Cover Police came and took them.
Travelling Without MovingTravelling Without Moving by Jamiroquai
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01
The hat, the moving floor, the oblivion.
The It GirlThe It Girl by Sleeper
Buy used from: £1.74
Pixie Louise was the 37th sexiest girl in Britain, or so I've read in an interview with her. Snarling songs like Sale of the Century can make us all hot! Whoo!
Are You Gonna Go My WayAre You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz
Buy new: £1.95 / Used from: £0.18
This was Lenny's pre-Dynasty-hairdo days. The dreads were there and so was the gorgeous 70s retro.
SpiceSpice by Spice Girls
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.01
Say what you want, but they were THERE, zig-a-zig-ah.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory(What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.79
Before the real Gallaghers were abducted by aliens, they had time to make this album for boys and girls to blast all over campus.
Way Beyond BlueWay Beyond Blue by Catatonia
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.84
Nothing is more 90s nostalgia than Carys Matthews yodelling about The X Files!
Moseley ShoalsMoseley Shoals by Ocean Colour Scene
Buy new: £2.42 / Used from: £0.32
Perfect soundtrack for the true 90s pub crawl. They sound boozy and good-natured and play all their own instruments, fancy that.
This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours...This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours... by Manic Street Preachers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01
SuedeSuede by Suede
Buy new: £3.96 / Used from: £1.39
The best Suede! One great, lovely pastiche of glitter and decadence for the beautiful and damned, or at least those with too much mascara.
ParklifeParklife by Blur
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.55
Right, this one should defo NOT be on the list, because it still seems like a classic to me, but hey... can´t do a 90s list without them.
Different ClassDifferent Class by Pulp
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.89
Another classic. Sorry, can´t help myself.
Vanessa ParadisVanessa Paradis by Vanessa Paradis
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.69
French lolita sings Lenny Kravitz-penned tune. I still want the jacket she's wearing on the CD sleeve.
Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1 by George Michael
Buy new: £3.96 / Used from: £0.31
Jagged Little PillJagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: £4.57 / Used from: £0.49
All SaintsAll Saints by All Saints
Buy new: £3.85 / Used from: £0.01
The combat-trousered ones pouted their way to girl group supremacy and sent the Spices back to kindergarten. Very London.
BehaviourBehaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Buy new: £10.47 / Used from: £7.03
How come they still look exactly the same? Isn't that weird but oddly reassuring?
