The '90s Appreciation Thread

This song more or less sums up the first two thirds of the '90s for me.

Edit: although technically this may have been a late '80s song.

I grew up in the 90s, though didn't have a big interest in music at the time. I did like Britpop, however. I enjoyed Blur and Pulp more than Oasis, but also things like this:

Edwyn Collins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkKxGzm98AU
Cornershop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM7H0ooV_o8
Sixpence None The Richer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-qO3sPMjc
The Beautiful South: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onKrpUeocUk (many good songs!)
Supergrass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUE4oDunYkc
The Divine Comedy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiBI3A2WcrE

I missed Radiohead in the 90s, but learned to appreciate them later, but I always remember these quirky, catchy songs coming on the radio in the mornings before school.

OMC's entire album was conceived in only 4 hours (as described in an interview), and it produced a one hit wonder, How Bizarre (number one in 11 countries) that made them the most successful recording artists to date in their own country (the singer passed away in 2010).

He wasn't doing that in the 80s?

I love Nick Cave's 90s stuff but I agree with mostly everything else, and you posted a Boredoms album so I'll forgive you
