Just from the stuff that I was bothered to rip to my computer - which is a fairly small proportion of my 90s record collection - I'd nominate<br /><br />Step On<br />Chemical World<br />Rock'n'roll star<br />The stars of track and field<br />What if... (Lightning Seeds - remember them eh?)<br />Mao Tse Tung Said (Alabama 3 - one of the first songs I 'downloaded' from that 'Internet')<br />Brimful of Asha<br />Karma Police (as well as Paranoid Android)<br />I think I'm in love (Spiritualized)<br />Ice hockey hair (SFA)<br />and, surely irrefutably,<br />Dry the Rain (Beta Band in "peaking entire career with first song" shock)<br /><br /><br />*Being a very sad person I gave myself points for every track on the list I've got - 1 point for song 100 up to 100 for song 1 - and added them up; the final total was something like 1070, or just over 20% of a maximum of 5050.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-66852664228830680842015-08-15T19:36:04.217+01:002015-08-15T19:36:04.217+01:00Yep, some good suggestions there by BCFG,

I know the lyrics are clever and it's catchy, but there are many better examples from Pulp's own back catalogue.<br /><br />Also, 'If you tolerate this..' as the Manics' best song? Probably one of the most insipid I'd have said!<br /><br />To finish, I may be blind, but I see nothing from the Super Furry Animals there.<br /><br />Too Q magazine for me.Igor Belanovnoreply@blogger.com
