I was an indie and Britpop kid.
Into stuff like The Charlatons, Mansun, Sleeper, but also Oasis and Blur (I like both!)
Was also a fan of bands like Dodgey and Ocean Colour Scene, The Farm, James, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Stereo MC's, Barenakedladies, Ben Folds Five, there's loads really!
Then of course the was Mark and Lard on Radio 1...
Happy days.

OCS, Bluetones, Cast, Pulp, Elastica, Blur, SFA, Wannadies, Galliano, St. Etienne, Space... amongst others.'
great bands in the 90's i still listen to them mixed up with some newer stuff from the likes of Razorlight, Maximo Park, Zutons, Kings of Leon etc. My mates here in Aus haven't heard of any of them so i'm educating them.

Good man get 'em taught!
Ahhhh, Space, there is a band I haven't heard of in a while. Going to have to go and dig out my copies of Female of the Species, You and Me Versus the World and Neighbourhood.
Classic stuff!
I love Cast.
Can't forget Shed 7 either.

Cool. Any defining pop-culture events you can think of?
Anything from traveller invasions at Glasto to celebrities slagging eachother off at awards shows! Need some background info for an article.
May 1990 - Stone Roses played Spike Island which was massively defining for that era.Anything from traveller invasions at Glasto to celebrities slagging eachother off at awards shows! Need some background info for an article.
I guess the Blur V Oasis and brit pop stuff, Nirvana and grunge I suppose. Actually Glastonbury went from being a cool festival in the early 90s to the total sham it is now. Thats pop culture and an absolute disgrace.
Introduction of the criminal justice act, anti-road protests - Twyford Down, M11 extension, Newbury by-pass etc. Lots of bands attached themselves to the cause as it bubbled along...
Must be loads more...
House music ,illegal raves and Manchester as the centre of the known universe. I think it was dance music and everyone doing E that defined the early nineties more than anything. Indie and rock scenes were fairly marginalized at the time. Much of this decade is a blur to me so that is all I can tell you.
During the 90s I was more into dance stuff like Technotronic, Snap, Yazz, Cappella, etc., but the songs that make me look back fondly at 90s music today are by James, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Wonderstuff, etc. I always liked most music - I wasn't one of those Dance v Rock or Indie v Britpop types... I just liked what I liked, which happened to be bits and pieces from all genres.
The Blur vs. Oasis chart battles. You couldn't like both, you had to pick just one to support.
Manchester United and Chelsea football songs in the charts. Utter drivel but again, one or the other.
Pulp's Different Class. We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds!
Don't Marry Her.
me.
Suede. The Beatiful Ones. Massive hype for Head Music.
Manic Street Preachers, The Holy Bible. Carving '4real' into arms with a razorblade and disappearing. Confrontational and bleak lyrics and arrangements.
Then late '90s. Radiohead mania - everybody talking about "it", OK Computer, even your parents buying it and trying to figure it all out.
Travis being the proto-Coldplay of the times. Massively popular, massively overplayed on TV soundtracks.
All finished up by nearly everyone you liked or respected selling out with insipid AOR-album dirge at the end of the decade.

A lot of the early nineties saw me DJing etc at every illigal rave I could lay my hands on, we would go to the pub in Tavistock then when that shut we would drive 35 miles to Exeter's Sowton Industrial Estate where at midnight we would get directions to the party - brilliant, brilliant days! The furthest we ended up was Cardiff!
Music for me in the nineties apart from the party stuff consisted of The Beloved, Wonder Stuff, PWEI, Primal Scream, Mansun, St Etienne, Massive Attack (& Tricky) Portishead, Bjork, Paul Weller, Stone Roses, Levellers, Terrorvision, Happy Mondays, Galliano, Spacehog, Arrested Development etc...
