Loved this when it came out, it's not commonly played now but luckily popped into my head.

Any other bangers I'll have forgotten from back in the day? I'm late 30s btw so 90s are my jam

No idea why The La’s weren’t bigger…

Lee Mavers was too much of a perfectionist. He was furious at the way their debut album was produced and chose not to record anymore because of this. But they left an amazing album.

Re SPACE yes I saw them.live years ago. Brilliant. What about the Blow Monkeys? Top tunes
Will be giving my data a hammering tomorrow🤣

Basically the derry girls soundtrack is full of absolute 90s bangers. I think someone has uploaded them all to Spotify so I think I'll have to splash out on a month's subscription 🤔

Spin Doctors Two Princes. First single I ever bought (on tape). Still think it's a great tune. Remember walking to Asda by myself to get it!

Am watching the car crash that was early 90s TOTP but just at the stage when The Bluebells kept taking the piss out of techno and Shabba Ranks which was genius.

Anyone else now updating their playlists with these forgotten 90s gems?

No idea why The La’s weren’t bigger…

The lead singer was a nightmare perfectionist, so they spent nearly five years trying to record their second album (and it never actually happened). John Power, who was the other main driving force in the band, quit to form Cast, who were big in the second half of the 90s (‘Walk Away’, ‘Alright’, ‘Fine Time’).

OP - my claim to fame is having two mutual friends on Facebook with David McAlmont 😁

Two princes- tried to do this at karaoke. Too many word in the chorus and not enough music🤣

You couldn’t move for this on local radio when I was about 20. I thought it was going to be huge. It got to No. 68 😳 Anyone else remember it?

Haha that's a common experience of mine at karaoke. Or I think I know a song then realise I only know the chorus 😂

Totally x-post with @BCBird about Two Princes.

I'm not sorry :D

MeridianB · 03/09/2022 21:52

Ooh, thanks for the La’s intel. Talk about ‘difficult second album’!

I loved rediscovering this via Pitch Perfect….

Which one?

I didn't like Mmmm at the time, but love it now.

Always loved Afternoons and Coffeespoons and now feel like I live it (not literally).
