John Peel Festive 50 1993
 

...

coo coo cannonball!

French Disko completely rocks.
I wish they still sounded like that; that song kicked major ass in a live setting.

I went for Huggy Bear but a lot of the stuff on it is just really good.I was a bit of a Madder Rose fan at the time.

No-one ever says that Chumbawumba use to be good. They were. I was a bit too young at the time, but thanks to some anarcho-punks I now know the truth. Oh yes.

The truth: Chumbawamba were NEVER good. And I wasn't too young at the time.

Just for the record.

NO NO NO.Chumbawamba were bad at the time and people who loved Wonder Stuff at the time are still paying the price for such statements.

Anarcho-punk is the worst thing to ever grace humanity's shores.

...after oi!

i went for licking polly jean's injuries.

huggy bear without a doubt...... althogh french disko is a close second....

chumbawumbabumbacumbashumba were never any use and credit to the nation were really poor as well... but i realise their hugeness if you are english.

1993 was the year The Infotainment Scan came out and yet none of it got into the top ten, which is a shame.

...

Still sticking to my Chumbawumba statement. Ra.

And I mine. Ra

I didn't vote in the original round of these threads. So I'm correcting that now. I vote Huggy Bear.

Huggy Bear defo 1st choice for me, but the others are to close to choose from apart from Chumbawumba which i never really cared for much :p this was the year when i really started getting into a lot of music courtesy of the great John Peel

Stu - you live in his ex-hometown, right?

right, i am friends with his son, Tom and went to school with him, i got to go see alot of good bands thanks to John, my favourite memory was being on stage at reading 93 when Babes in Toyland where playing i even got to say hello to Kat Bjelland backstage, i was only 13 at the time but will never forget this

'Mazing. Bit of a vulgar question, sorry - how did Tom cope with not just losing his old man but having to hear about it absolutely everywhere? I often wonder about these people, especially if the person isn't quite famous enough to have children who are instantly famous (children of royalty and the like).

Well it was hard for all of us, I don't want to say much more than that sorry.
