"Friends of P" - Rentals

"Carry My Picture" - Connells
"Ladykillers" - Lush

LOL. That cracked me up. I just snort-laughed really loud and scared the cat that was sleeping at my feet - which in turn made me laugh even more. That was funny. Oh well. It was a really moronic "had to be there thing". Regardless, it was funny to me, damn it.

Marcy Playground - Sex & Candy... Always thought it was an attempt at new wave... I agree that the 90s stuff is better than most hollow-soul music of today

I'll take any of today's new New Wave bands -- the Editors, Franz Ferdinand, VHS or Beta, the Pin-Up Girls (ahem), She Wants Revenge, etc -- over the '90s any day.

90s songs are considered classics today so after 10 years the songs of today should be classics by then.
