Oh, love this one. 'Monsters And Angels' by Voice Of The Beehive... I might have this wrong, but the drummer in this band was the guy from Madness?

Whatever.  Love this tune...

I remember seeing a band called Blind Melon at Glastonbury in 1994 and they were brilliant. Had not heard of them before seeing them and they were excellent live. The lead singer went on to OD and join the 27 club I think.

Oooh, I saw Blind Melon at a festival here in New York and they were damn awful. The lead singer, Shannon something, was a real pretentious twit. He'd try things like performing in a ladies evening gown to show he was "an artist," but all he was was a troubled junkie.

They did leave a mark, though. Their video with the little girl bumble bee is pretty much iconic over here in America. A car commercial or something recently took the theme from that video. The little girl bumble bee is very recognized over here as a symbol for the outsider looking to simply be who they are. Give Blind Melon credit for that.

I think the lead singer for Blind Melon killed himself.  Could be wrong though.

Thought I'd reactivate this thread...

Anyone remember Curve?  Very trendy back then and a band I still go back to every now and again... 'Fait Accompli' here... 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Plourz3Xs

Earl Brutus, 'Life's Too Long'...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7YA-frg2tw

S.M.A.S.H., 'Real Surreal', saw them live only the once, but they were ear-bleedingly great, should have been bigger...

It's been a while since we talked about this stuff.. what do you remember...?   :o

Shed 7 and Gene.  Martin Rossiter from Gene released the most beautiful album a couple of years back called the Defenestration of St Martin.  Definitely worth a listen. 

Trying to find a YouTube link that's working and not succeeding; here's the one I wanted to share ,just in case it magically works...

OK, just found this on the NME website, '50 Forgotten 90's Bands Who Prove 90's Indie Wasn't Just about Oasis and Blur'... such an enjoyable trip down Amnesia Lane, how many do YOU remember?

http://www.nme.com/photos/50-forgotten-90s-bands-who-prove-90s-indie-wasnt-just-about-oasis-and-blur/348677#/photo/1

Well, many of these bands are not forgotten by me and I suspect many others on this Forum...

I can remember many of them. Maybe the Curve popped up as a name in the list that really fits there. I liked them much more than some of the better known artists in the list. Many good names there but also found names like The Germs and Minor Threat as bands that are rather punk and hc from early eighties, late 70's. But wow, it was interesting to scroll the list. Just thinking how many of the great names mentioned here in this thread were missing!

Actually just few days ago while I was driving to work early in the morning I realised I could make a refreshing change to boring driving hours by listening to odd albums from bands via YouTube that I never owned but always thought I should had purchased long time ago:

So I explored some great bands that'll bring always good vibes and memories: Teenage Fun Club, The Dambuilders (and well yeah occasional early Rainbow albums too).


Here's some great stuff from the Dambuilders:

Shrine

Teenage Loser Anthem

Slo-Mo Kikaida
