BuzzJack Music Forum _ Indie, Rock and Alternative _ Buzzjack's Alternative Songs of the 1990s
Posted by: Colm 19th July 2016, 08:31 PM
You all know how much I love a good rate - and also how obsessed I am with the 90s. I know not everyone was around in the 90s but they sure as hell know the classics.
The rules are simple.
Nominate up to 30 tracks of the alternative variety that were released between 1 Jan 1990 and 31 Dec 1999. Re-releases don't count unless they missed the chart the first time around and if the tracks are generally regarded as 90s tracks.
CHANGES MADE BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF TRACKS NOMINATED
Because I probably didn't think this through at the start and have now ended up with hundreds of nominations I think it's better if we vote for our favourite 50 from the nominations list instead of rating everything.
When that's all done and dusted I'll count down the Top 40.
The rules are going to be a bit more relaxed than usual regarding genre. We'll allow alternative dance also (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Orbital all in) but the decision on singer-songwriter will be rather strict. Jeff Buckley in. David Gray out. No rap or r'n'b. No pop. In the event of a dispute I will consult with the moderators.
So, please. Start your nominations as and when you see fit. The nominations part will end on Sun 31st July at 23:59.
If you need your memory to be prodded a bit search for the the Shine or Best Album in the World Ever series on Amazon.
Any questions - just shout.

I realise that 30 songs each is going to a pretty hefty list to rate so if you can only come up with 10 (or whatever) songs that haven't been nominated that's fine.

U2 “The Fly”
I didn't include these because I didn't think they were alternative enough
Posted by: Mattias 21st July 2016, 08:05 AM
Depeche Mode - It's No Good
I've edited these into mine Colm
Posted by: dandy* 21st July 2016, 07:35 PM
Dubstar is alt isn't it? They were on Shine compilations weren't they?
Posted by: Colm 21st July 2016, 07:38 PM
AREN'T they?
You haven't got all American on us?
Posted by: Colm 21st July 2016, 07:39 PM
Yes - they are allowed in.
Where do we stand on Tori? I feel she's at least non-mainstream.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 21st July 2016, 07:46 PM
Definitely indie, and if I wasn't restricting myself to 1 per artist I would include the gorgeous “Stars”.
I also raise this all the time but “Not So Manic Now” is actually a cover of the original by Brick Supply (1994) from the Somebody's Intermezzo EP.
Posted by: Colm 22nd July 2016, 02:31 PM
Nomz list in the first post.
I've excluded Enigma and Faithless, Mattias. Soz bbz. Not alternative enough, I don't think.
Jake - Muse Sunburn came out in March 2000.
Posted by: Mattias 22nd July 2016, 03:24 PM
No problem, I did think maybe Faithless in particular wasn't alternative enough.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 22nd July 2016, 03:29 PM
You could have “Uno”, “Cave” or “Muscle Museum” though!
I'd definitely suggest the latter.
Posted by: Colm 22nd July 2016, 03:35 PM
I'd definitely suggest the latter.
MM is already there.
Posted by: Jake. 22nd July 2016, 09:33 PM
Ah, I knew I'd end up nominating something that wasn't eligible without realising... I'll settle for 'Cave'

No idea whether these are okay, but here we go.
Pulp - Disco 2000
Cud - Rich & Strange
The Beautiful South - My Book

Might add a few more later
Posted by: Colm 23rd July 2016, 12:32 PM

Jeez - I could give you well over a hundred and still want to nominate more. Luckily some of my faves have been added already (although not very many)
Had to also restrict myself to one record per artist to give you these...in some cases it's not my favourite by a band, but one that some of you might know better...otherwise it'll only be me who votes for it.

That's a relief, I've been liking pretty much everything that's been nominated so a rate from me would have been a blur of 7-9's with little outliers
Posted by: Brett-Butler 25th July 2016, 05:17 PM
I will get my nominations in at some point, although from the looks of it a lot of the songs that I would have nominated have already made the cut.
Wasn't Mr E's Beautiful Blues by Eels released in 2000, rather than the 90s?
Posted by: Brett-Butler 25th July 2016, 05:59 PM
Well, it turns out there were a lot of songs that I loved from the 90s that hadn't been nominated yet, and it was hard to whittle them down to 30, so I've limited myself to 1 per artist, and here's what I've come up with -
Mighty Mighty Bosstones – The Impression That I Get
Reel Big Fish – Sell Out
Air – Kelly Watch The Stars
Apollo 440 – Stop The Rock
Beastie Boys – Sabotage
Catatonia – Road Rage
Daisy Chainsaw – Love Your Money
Divine Comedy – National Express
Eels – Last Stop: This Town

Electrasy – Morning Afterglow
Faith No More – Midlife Crisis
Garbage – Stupid Girl
Gay Dad – Joy!
Geneva – Tranquilizer
Kula Shaker - Tattva
Lightning Seeds – Marvellous
Menswear – DayDreamer

Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945

Primal Scream – Movin’ On Up
Rocket From The Crypt – On A Rope

Stone Roses – Waterfall
Stroke 9 – Washin’ and Wonderin’
Suede – Filmstar
Sugar – If I Can’t Change Your Mind
Teenage Fanclub – Sparky’s Dream
Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life
Posted by: Chez Wombat 25th July 2016, 06:01 PM
Most of my own picks have already been nominated, though I've noticed these omissions:
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
Oasis - Some Might Say
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under the Bridge
Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
U2 - One
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (if this counts)
Chumbawumba - Tubthumping (likewise)
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench
Sorry, super mainstream 
If I think of more, I'll add later.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 26th July 2016, 05:47 AM
Hmmm, I'd say that when there's so many entries a rate will be more representative as far too many songs will get lost if you're only picking 50 out of 300+, it's just whether people will bother. Though I'd say rating each song out of 10 isn't any more difficult than whittling the massive list down to 50 and then ranking them! If you're using Excel it'd only take about 2 minutes to copy and paste a long rate into it, so no more work to calculate the scores. Just need to make sure people are consistent and everyone's rates are like this:
1 Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
2 Oasis - Some Might Say
3 Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under the Bridge
4 Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
5 U2 - One
6 Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (if this counts)
7 Chumbawumba - Tubthumping (likewise)
8 Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

Great to see Chapterhouse, Daisy Chainsaw and Sugar nominated - I had to eliminate them from my long list.

I agree that it's easier for me to calculate a rate but there's gonna be hundreds of songs to rate.
Perhaps 50 isn't enough to put into a chart - would 100 be better? A second reason I think a chart is better is because of the average type song that no one really dislikes doing far better because it gets a huge amount of 5s and 6s where as much fewer would place it in the Top 100 from the 90s.

Sorry, super mainstream
If I think of more, I'll add later.Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (if this counts)
That doesn't count and I would be pushed to consider U2's One to be alternative but I will let it pass as we let The Fly in. However, The Fly is certainly alternative because of it's structure and over all production.

100 might work better because it leaves more room to go outside one's own nominations.

That is a very good point.
Posted by: richie 26th July 2016, 10:45 AM
I guess you could offer up to 100. It'd always be 100 points for number 1, but if somebody only did 50 then their last choice would score 51.
Posted by: Colm 26th July 2016, 10:59 AM
Agreed.
Out of what we have so far I see 99 that I would be happy voting for.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 26th July 2016, 09:23 PM
I think 100 is better than 50. 50 is too small a percentage to be voting for.
Posted by: Colm 26th July 2016, 09:40 PM
Cool.

That Spin Doctors track is such a great tune. I read it got a negative reception at the time though

If someone were to make a Spotify playlist of all the songs that have been nominated for this, I would not complain one teeny bit. (Although I believe a few of them might not be on Spotify, Electrasy for example).
Posted by: Colm 30th July 2016, 11:31 AM
I'll see what I can do.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 1st August 2016, 06:25 PM
I was intending the put ones I'm unaware of into a playlist to have a listen to anyway, and suspect I'll recognise a fair amount of them

Damn, you're right. My mistake for nominating it though (I recall being rather tired when I did them, so it's no surprise that I nominated this and a Muse song from 2000 in error.)
I can't think of another Eels song from their first two albums to replace it (at least not one that I'd want to nominate). As a substitute Colm, I'll settle for Depeche Mode's 'World In My Eyes' (I'll edit it into my original nominations post).
Posted by: Colm 2nd August 2016, 07:02 AM
Cool. Thanks for the noms people.
I will put the voting thread up this evening.
