Forgotten music acts of the 90s.
Following on from the great 80s thread with the same theme...
![]() The careers of superstars pop act like The Spice Girls, Westlife, Take That, grunge legends like Nirvana get attention quite frequently on forums. But what about the bands that were never iconic but where still great? The unique acts and the one hit wonders? All hail the low profile acts of the 90s! What were your faves? I love this from the very early 90s: Banderas - This Is Your Life http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-rcLLa5mPvU Please contribute

Tanya Donnelly. One of the great female singer/songwriters of recent times and is criminally forgotten.
Belly - Feed The Tree Belly - Slow Dog I've had the pleasure of seeing her live a few times. A true 'lady' of rock.

Sweet Harmony was the song everyone was shagging to into 92 ![]() http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=23lfNaPKKT4 |

I was massively into the Britpop thing of the mid-90's and am still stuck there in many ways!
Anyway my favourite band at the time (after Oasis, obviously) were Space. Proabably best known for 'Female of the Species', they did so much more! There was 'Avenging Angels', 'The Ballad of Tom Jones' (which was a duet with Cerys Matthews) and three great albums, and they recorded another one that was never released! A fantastic band, very underrated. Wikipedia |

![]() Apparently the Vanilla 'project' was some record producers bet that he could get a few mingers, record an annoying but catchy pop song and have a hit with it.........don't know whether the story is apocryphal though............ |

I didn't realise most people had forgotten Space! I loved them. I quite liked Hepburn because of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer connection. Lauren Laverne's band Kenickie seem to have been all but forgotten. I quite liked this track of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTh4RXH7iS8 One I remember because of my parents record collection is Dina Carroll. She did have a a good voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yADVdaX8OLc |
