My prelidiction for music lists at the moment may be coming across all a bit High Fidelity, but it is in the main me rummaging through the boxes of musical history in my mind - that and I am finding it quite a lot of fun hunting through the archives of YouTube. In addition, of course, it is far easier being able to let you hear/see what I am talking about - I would rather not post mp3s here, and with Youtube being as good as it is for this nowadays, I don't have to.
So what is this week's list of ten? A slightly woolly one, really - ten North American alternative bands from the nineties. Criteria? There isn't really one, suffice to say that most of these bands would probably have appeared on what is now MTV2 at some point or another (indeed, I don't doubt in the slightest that some of them have). Some of the songs mentioned may be from more recent times, but the reasons I love the bands come from the decade in question...
First up, then, are two bands that I still listen a lot even now. …
