When they made a comeback in the late 90s i got into the Bunnymen and bought up their earlier stuff, but it was the singles from Evergreen that grabbed my attention. This is a great indie pop song which i still love.

Another great album with a plethora of potential tracks i could choose. Going for the opening track (again) which is a brilliant buildup to the album from the opening deadpan spoke words onwards. Fab!

Clouds Taste Metallic was the album that got me into The Flaming Lips. Bought it at least partly on strength of the outstanding song titles, and this is a prime example!

Love this album, and Bloodstain is my favourite track. Just learned that vocalist Alice Temple was apparently a national/european BMX champion! I really like to style of this song.

And now to my favourite Chemical Brothers track (with a bonus part of New Order thrown in;) They didn't make my 90s cut but IMO their very best songs are 80s)
Surrender is a great album too....

Change of vibe now. Back to the early 90s and another jam-packed album that i had on heavy rotation in the 90's. Lots of great songs, but am sticking with the opening track! (Don't think i've seen the video but am sure it's awful)

Beaster is great, but the first chunk of New Day Rising is my favourite for exhiliration (though obvs way out of bounds for this Top30!). Tilted is a top tune though.
