  Hello
  
  There will be a specially themed programme on the 29th December. It will attempt to sum up the 1990s in three hours of music. Much like the previous two nights have sought to do with the previous two decades.
  
  So, the simple question is this: What should we play from the 1990s?
  
  Suggestions here please.
  
  Thanks
  Gid

  Find this one harder than the 70s and 80s. I blame it on having kids! Anyway a few possibilities:
  
  Bill is Dead - The Fall
  Lenny Valentino - The Auteurs
  The Man Don't Give a ... - Super Furry Animals (title censored by this site so unlikely to be playable!)
  Justified and Ancient/Mu Mu Land - KLF
  Cybele's Revenge - Stereolab
  Squares - Beta Band
  Painbirds - Sparklehorse
  Woke Up Sticky - Peter Perrett
  Aquarius - Boards of Canada
  California Tuffy - Geraldine Fibbers
  Chappel Hill - Sonic Youth
  Up-Wards at 45 - Julian Cope
  Motorcycle Emptiness - Manics
  Paid in Kind - Levitation
  Idiot Joy Showland - The Fall
  
  Possibly some Cardiacs, Nirvana, Pumpkins, Mogwai?

  outkast (aquemini) - return of the G
  
  wu-tang clan (renter the wu-tang [36 chambers]) - mystery of chessboxin'

  pharcyde (bizarre ride II tha pharcyde) - passing me by

  Ride - Like A Daydream/Leave Them All Behind
  Lush - Deluxe/For Love
  Slowdive - Slowdive/Spanish Air
  Chapterhouse - Falling Down
  Moose - Suzanne
  Pale Saints - Hunted
  Swervedriver - Son Of Mustang Ford
  The Telescopes - Celeste
  Gallon Drunk - The Last Gasp(Safty)
  New FADs - Fishes Eyes
  The Wedding Present - Dalliance
  Five Thirty - 13th Disciple
  Catherine Wheel - She's My Friend
  World Of Twist - Sons Of The Stage
  Pixies - Ana
  Mudhoney - Let It Slide
  Nirvana - Milk It
  Hole - Doll Parts
  Rollins Band - Liar
  Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving/Marble Lions
  Denim - The Osmonds
  Pulp - Love Is Blind/Street Lites
  My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow
  Suede - The Living Dead/Killing Of A Flashboy
  The Auteurs - The Upper Classes
  Blur - He Thought Of Cars/Trimm Trabb
  The Boo Radleys - Spaniard/Leaves And Sand
  Dinosaur Jr. - Start Choppin'
  Huggy Bear - Her Jazz
  Tindersticks - My Sister/Kathleen
  Elastica - Never Here
  Pavement - Elevate Me Later/virtually anything else from their back catalogue
  The Divine Comedy - Middle Class Heroes/The Certainty Of Chance
  
  Looks like this is going to run to a second list. Do you think we can get away with knocking 1999 out of the equation entirely?
