To ask your fave 90s pop group?

hotmumshit · Today 13:14

As part of my AW personality, i've got the 90s music on, i'm making a cosy filling dinner for me and dd

I've got the heating on, got the Argos Christmas catalogue out for dd, asking what she wants for Christmas (she is not interested)

I am almost 35, so I was young when Westlife came out, but I was a hardcore fan 🙈🙈🙈😄

IMO their first album is a Christmas album!

Take That, Radiohead, Nirvana, Oasis and Blur.

I was very into Brit pop and grunge.

I think the early 90s was the best era. Late 90s was pretty bad. So many different genres in the early 90s, still a lot of rubbish like Mr Blobby though.

Loved Brit Pop and bands, the early 90s hip hop and dance.

Boy band wise it was Take that and East 17 for me. I didn't really like any others. I bloody hated Westlife and Boyzone. My mum liked it!

It all went a bit wrong later in the decade when rap went crude and grandiose, and you had shit boys bands and X-Factor and PopStars dominating.

I loved Mansun. And Radiohead. Not pop though - I still listen to them now 😁

Didn’t compilations and previously unreleased music continue to come out in the 90s though?

The Cure and Pulp

but I adored Let Loose 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Isittimeformynapyet · Today 14:42

Pixies.

I listened to as little "pop" as possible.

Joulesyhoukes · Today 14:38

Depeche Mode...they started in 80s but in 90s they had the best songs..

Grade8inTrombolese · Today 14:37

Nirvana, Radiohead, R.E.M, Green Day

Too old for boy bands in the 90s!

thebrowncatisback · Today 14:34

@lifeisgoodrightnow

who was the suport?

thebrowncatisback · Today 14:33

The pop was crap but the grunge, rock indie scene was amazing

Somedayitwillclick · Today 14:33

MintTwirl · Today 13:35

No mention of Take That yet!!
Spice Girls and All Saints, Sugababes, 5ive.

I was thinking this- far too many comment before there was a mention off take that - they are still my favourite. Go every time they tour

teaandtoastwithmarmite · Today 14:31

Oasis but I wasn’t thinking of them as ‘pop’

lifeisgoodrightnow · Today 14:25

LightDuvet · Today 13:45

I was obsessed with Boyzone, The Spice Girls, All Saints, TLC, Backstreet Boys, Savage Garden...

And the 90s had the best one hit wonders - Semisonic, Chumbawumba...

I ended up on a tour bus with chumbawumba in 1995 ( I was friends with their support act). Lots. Of. Fun.

lifeisgoodrightnow · Today 14:08

RikthePoet · Today 13:40

Sure.

And people listened to The Beatles throughout the 90s, but they're not a "90s pop group" either.

Hardly - three years later not the same at all but then you know that and are being deliberately obtuse. Crack on it’s the last time I’ll respond to you who is bringing down a lovely thread.

WhatDoRacoonsSay · Today 13:58

I liked all of them, big boyband fan, still am.
I've seen Take That and Westlife this year.

Looking forward to Christmas and wearing jumpers, baking, cooking cosy dinners, dancing with dd and telling her about winters past

That first play of Fairytale of New York is heaven 😌😌

I loved eternal when I was about 8-9 in 1995 or so. I wanted to be Louise so much!

And then later all saints.

Okay I was about 7 or 8 and a hardcore Westlife fan!

Louise is stunning still

My poor mum got so much stick for me listening to 'adult music' but we didn't understand!!
