As a singer,songwriter, performer this subject is very near and dear to my heart. I can still remember being a 14 year old kid standing there looking up at brian molco when placebo were touring there second album "without you I'm nothing". That night they opened pitch black with "scared of girls " . No one in the crowd could hear or see shit until the first beat, then it was just the beauty of those two Marshall Stacks. Hell of a show. Anyway, as a I kid I was always listening to the foo fighters live sets over the radio from Glastonbury, back when it was cassette tapes and all. Anyway, just thought I'd put a different spin on some music threads of late. I'm just sat here with my headphones on and my mxp thinking back to bands that meant so much to me and impacted me at a certain point in my life.

Is it 90's week? Get your rose tinted specs out sir. Anyway I would have to say Prodigy and the 90's Dreamscape and Helter Skelter tape packs.
classica stuff guy's i had a feeling this might spark off a few memories.

Metallica were massive with me, my fave album of their's is master of puppets. I felt like they had hit on something during the ride the lightning era but that it all came together for master of puppets. thats not strictly 90's, until you get to black album but fuck it.

The placebo stuff is bad in terms of crowd and guys on sound desks etc.. however, this may be a story in itself as rumour has it that they got signed playing to three men and a dog in some U.S hick town. One of the three guys just happened to be a record exec having a few beers after work, and the rest is history...as they say

Footage of you mate, or recordings, i wanna see
Got some guitar vids of me wanna see?
Metallica - Black album was my fave, love that. Prodigy - Fat Of The Land also. among others
Get in on there mate. I'll post some of my recordings too sure. But I also want to see if anyonne else was sat there next to their tape deck with the finger on the record button. I remember being a like 15 and having cassettes of glastonbury 96, with placebo, reef , prodigy.

here's a track of mine that's got a real variety of influeneces. The snare beats are so slow i was even trying to get a burial sort of dancy vive, but with the guitars, the chorus riff is the closest i come to zeroing in on one particular influence. metallica - specifically ride the lightning. But its also real sludgy so there's a fair bit of helmet going on too. Like to know what you think of that riff actually mate.
As for the vocals and lyrics lets say i was getting dark on this track - there's maybe a track by pj harvey called bitter branches that i play live where i picked up a style where i let my voice drift between notes. But yeah as for the vocals, thats just plain old swarm darkness.
The song feels a little fast on relistening. i wouln't mind slowing it down even more maybe lile 114 even I think its at 120 - or 60, cos it half time.

First song that comes to mind is this one, makes me feel like everything is alright and it gives life meaning. Also the video sparked my interest in psychedelics and all things good.
Tbh everything from this band has had a positive impact on me. Unlike most other people who listen to them, I manage to find meaning within every one of their songs. Love it.
This got me into heavy metal.
Smack My Bitch Up, as well as some of Prodigy's other stuff.
Believe it or not, stuff like this, and this had me doing allnighters all throughout high school. Headbanging heaven. 8(
And finally this classic.
Oh yeah and of course Metallica, the biggest band in the world.

So sooo many but the ones that may have impacted, got me through some sad, bad and happy times and endure in weekly listening are the following.
Depeche Mode
Prince
Pearl Jam
PJ Harvey
John Martyn R.I.P (saw him play many times in that decade)
The violent femmes
The Breeders
Hole
Natalie Merchant
The lemonheads/Juliana Hatfield
The Cure
New Model army..(late 80s and 90s)
Massive attack
Moby
Terrorvision
Tricky
Roachford
Radiohead
Justin Timberlake
P.W.E.I
Oasis
Placebo
I could bore you senseless with all the ins and outs what they meant and why, how they helped me..mostly they gave me joy or bitter sweetness. My musical taste is wide open and if it works for me then I couldn't care less about muso pondering about how wrong I may or may not be.
Pearl Jam- Present Tense Directly influenced my end of year Fine Art degree show content.

Alabama 3 for their take on the downside of the party lifestyle.
And after three days of drinking with Larry Love, I just get an inkling to go on home. So I’m walking down Coldharbour Lane, head hung low; three or four in the morning; the sun’s coming up and the birds are out singing. I let myself into my pad. Wind my way up that spiral staircase and stretch myself out nice on the Chesterfield. Pithecanthropus Erectus already on the CD player and I push that remote button to sublimity. And I listen to the sweet, sculptural rhythms of Charles Mingus. And J.R. Monterose and Jackie McLean duet unknown saxophones and the sound makes its way out of the window, mingling with the traffic noises outside, you know, and all of a sudden I’m overcome by a feeling of brief mortality.
‘Cause I’m getting on in the world. Coming up on forty-one years. Forty-one stony, grey steps towards the grave, you-know, the box, awaits its grisly load and I’m gonna be food for worms. And just like Charles Mingus wrote that beautiful piece of music ‘Epitaph’ for Eric Dolphy. I say “so long Eric, so long John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, so long Duke Ellington and Lester Young, so long Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, so long Jimmy Reed, so long Muddy Waters, and so long Howlin Wolf.”

thanks for posting. am a massive pj Harvey and Hole fan so was real pleased to see those crop up. soft spot for cure and depeche mode too though my interest in them kicked in more so in my early 20's.
@gannetsarewe
totally unfamiliar with the atrists you mentioned myself, however, loved the post in general. Plus, many other reader's will be familiar with your fave artists so watch this space for contributions from fellow enthusiasts.

love it. the first system album was like my second fave album when I was 16, listened to it about 3 times last week in fact so I'm still rocking to that band.
Walk. what a fuckin tune. Pantera is the definition of pure fucking no frills heavy metal.
Funny enough I got into trance right about age 16, and that track was properly 90% responsible for my new found open mindedness to electronic music.

Can not believe I didn't have The Pixies at the top of my list! I think I am still angry with them for last years gig's-absence of Kim Deal..I felt robbed!
