these pishy little indie bands have no soul, britain was the place to be in the 90s....oasis the roses, these boys, primal scream, james......and these cunts WERE rock n roll, unlike the weedy little poofy, studenty, political correctness embracin, drainpipe jeans wearin scrotes of todays generation......arctic monkeys, the kooks, razorlight, kaiser cheifs.....im almost ashamed to call myself brittish, no wonder theres so much rap music these days when THAT is the alternative

supermellonman...oasis ARE great, no question, i know they wernt around furin madchester but they led the next great culture movement that was britpop, i dont like callin it britpop because the best best bands involved in it were not pop, with the exeption of blur (ok pulp were pop but they made classics) black grape, bluetones, cast, oasis, OCS, kula shaker etc etc were all rockin bands.....

I agree, I bought Mosely Shoals from ASDA and put it on while in the bath. I remember thinking between washing my hair "fucking hell, Oasis had better step up now". Sadly they didnt and OCS ebbed the tide. but Mosely Shoals was one cracking album and for me one of the best that came out of the whole era. Cast - like listening to Hari Krishnas on alcohol - too happy happy. But to be fair History has to be one of my favourite 90's songs - loved their drummer too, crazy son of a bitch!

I'm 35 now, how time flies. Still think about the empty Jazz bottle, the smell of Fahrenheit from the oldies at the bar, Jean Paul Gaultier (to be posh) around me own neck, Clarks Wallabees on me feet and top buttons fastened on me shirts.....and being miserably desecrated on how my Oasis was being screamed by middle aged women in my favourite pubs. But now its different - I can go to Student bars and listen to my music again and feel happy without no Wonderwall. Lovin gerrin older!

I'm going to see the Arctic Monkeys in Orlando soon, your cramping my style. Although I gotta admit (this music was referred to me for mentioning Arctic Monkeys) this is soul-full and very real. ~P.A.Y

Tellin Stories is. How u say. 'the best album of the 90's'

[TR1PACE5]

@BORROVAN26 yep also 'live the dream' is one of ther best songs, walkaway and guiding star

[BORROVAN26]

@TR1PACE5 either way, i don't envy todays kids with the choice of scouting for girls and the kooks... you don't realise how lucky you are at the time! i'm giving cast a rethink as i write :) history was a good one as well.

[TR1PACE5]

@BORROVAN26 well northern uproar definately were poop, but cast had a really good album, finetime is a classic, so is alright, there were some really good songs on that record, then they came back with mother nature calls....sorry pal i cant knock cast, and OCS mosely shoals album is rightly regarded as one of the defining album of the era.......these are 2 class bands, i cant see your point

[BORROVAN26]

@TR1PACE5 I used to think Cast were OK, even saw them live a couple of times, but looking back, they were decidedly 2nd division stuff. Still quite like Sandstorm though. I thought OCS were horrendous even before Chris Evans got them popular, the ginger bugger. But anyway, there's a reason why the Charlatans are still going strong and most of the other bands that were around in 97 aren't, even the ones i thought were pretty good. I even liked Northern Uproar. I was wrong about that one.

@BORROVAN26 on 2nd thoughts??? what were your 1st thoughts lol

@TR1PACE5 on second thoughts, do forget Cast and OCS
