Some of these are truly cringeworthy... What's amazing me though is how many of them I still listen to and wouldn't dream of thinking were That Old. And also how many artists are still around.
By the way, I don't think Alannah Myles deserves to be on your cringeworthy list :-) Martika, yes, Vanilla Ice, definitely!
Offspring - Self esteem
Greenday – Basket Case (anything off Dookie actually)
Pearl Jam - Daughter
What about all those union classics…remember
Neil Diamond – don’t remember which song, probably Sweet Caroline,
Don Mclean - American pie
Bryan Adams – Summer of ‘69
thanks. saved. x
AH Tim, You just mentioned Creep by Radiohead. Still ould classify it as one of my favourites. I remember a student band from East London coming to Vicstock one year and they played that - such nostalgia.
Other memories:
Voilent Femmes - American Music
Green Day (Dookie the whole album)
Pixies (Doolittle the whole album)
Nelly the Elephant
I saw the Sign (Ace of Base)*cringe*
Brown-eyed Girl
