1991 was one of the last great years for indie/hardcore/alt-rock.  That list pretty much proves it.  Feel need to defend Carter though!  Last great populist british punk for my money (every last negative number of my overdrive).  Pretty much the band that got me into punky type stuff back in the day (that day probably being some drab, rainy early summer day circa 1993).  Always figured there was a Big Black influence at work there somewhere.  Guess someone still gives a rats ass about Mssrs Fruitbat and Jim Bob cos their gig@Mcr Academy in November sold out ages ago……..

The past is indeed a different country.  My memories of Nirvana and the old school indie underground are a far cry from the dominant discourse……….if you remember the 90s……………
