How no-one died that night , I don't know. Still..it was a great gig..at least I think it was...I remember hearing about three songs and waking up battered to bits in the St Johns ambulance

Beth Orton quietly strummed her way though the 90s...

I don't really like the 90's anything like as much as the 80's but there were some gems, the Banderas track already mentioned, 'This is your life' is one of my favourites, I recently bought the album 'Ripe' second hand off Amazon and it's well worth a listen imo.

I used to love Dubstar:

Stars

And this one from Sleeper:

Nice guy Eddie

Also the wonderful Sophie B Hawkins:

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Can I just say - if an act is forgotten after 8 years or so, perhaps they should be.

How so? The digital age means I've probably heard a billion tracks between now and 8 to 18 years ago. I've forgotten lost of tracks, many people have. Please leave us to delve into our record collections if you don't rate the music

Daisy Chainsaw are largely forgotten:

Cranes are quite forgotten as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II-d0AI_jLw

They both have um... interesting female vocalists, I suppose they were the British equivalent to riot grrl in a sense.

Daisy Chainsaw might have been a bit Riot Grrl-ish but without taking themselves too seriously. The Cranes were more Shoegazy or like 4AD bands like the Cocteau Twins or Dead Can Dance. The singer was very cute, though.

I wouldn't say Supergrass have been forgotten. They have a bit, but not hugely

They supported Arctic Monkeys last year - should be the other way round really.
New Supergrass album out in March I believe.

but you HAVEN'T forgotten these acts...

do you know how many a billion is? even at 2 minutes a track (very short) that's 120 seconds x 1,000,000,000 (minimum) - divide that by 60x24x365 = 228 thousand years - and that is with 2 minute tracks.

a quarter of a million years if excel is to be believed.

I've seen Supergrass, me.
