I gotta second the Catherine Wheel suggestion, they should be on my list, too. Their first two albums, Ferment and Chrome, are fantastic.

Man, I loved Chrome. It's in my top 5 albums from that era.

As for Curve, check out their first 2 albums: Pubic Fruit was a comp of their 3 eps and has some great stuff. Doppleganger, their second album is also great & has the awesome, awesome song "Horror Head" I loved that wall of noise sound and how the singer sounded like she was about 3 beats behind the music.

Concur with Blur, MBV, Catherin Wheel, TJAMC of course, plus...

The Smashing Pumpkins
Galaxie 500
The Happy Mondays
The Stone Roses
World Party
Electronic
Dinosaur Jr
Sonic Youth
Suede

Interesting that there's nothing from the 90s that I can point to and go "dude, this is profound and rare shit" like the 80s and even some 00s. Just seemed like I was biding my time during the 90s.

Crazy, you picked my favorite song off that album! I love the guitar noise in that one! I think my second favorite Curve song is "Coast Is Clear", which KUKQ 1060 used to play back in the day.

Throwing Muses! I almost started a separate thread for these guys, but they fit perfectly here. Formed in 84, two releases in the late 80's, but their best is 91's The Real Ramona.

[plagiarism]

Blake Babies: Sunburn, Earwig, Rosy Jack World
Juliana Hatfield: Hey Babe, Only Everything
Ocean Blue: Self titled

Transvision Vamp, The Primitives, and the Darling Buds were always mentioned in the same sentence because they sounded similar and had blonde lead singers. I preferred the Darling Buds, especially their CD Crawdaddy.

I mentioned it above, but check out Pubic Fruit or Doppleganger from Curve. Avoid the later post 1996 industrial noise stuff.

I prefer Catherine Wheel's Chrome over Ferment.
