Britpop or S**tpop?

[Bruce Rioja]

Here's something. But to categorize Mansun as being 'Britpop' is one of the worst musical categorizations of all time, and not just a little insulting to them.

Radiator is a brilliant album. Very original and has a song about a chupacabra.

What more do you want?

90s album cover quiz

9/10, got no.5 wrong

[Harry Genshaw]

^ 7/10 'you'd make the boyband but you'd be stood in the background'

[LeverEnd]

^ 7/10 'you'd make the boyband but you'd be stood in the background'

Must admit to a couple of lucky guesses on the early ones.

[bwfcdan94]

5/10, given I was 6 when the 90s ended I don't think I did to bad, I new at least 3 of them but guessed the rest.

Not to worry Harry - I haven't tried it but know I would get what we call an ohfer over here. Probably classed as 'lining up for tickets outside in the rain in the wrong place.'

1990's !! Pah.

A very proud 2/10 .... & God knows which 2.

Bring on the 70's version.

I was too embarrassed to disclose my 4/10 previously, but not quite as much so now. Three of them were guesses though.

[Beefheart]

9/10, not sure which I got wrong as there were probably 3 I guessed at (having narrowed down to two by knowing which albums they were not).

Do it again and click show 'answers' at the end.

I had a quick look, decided the first pic wasn't Harry Belafonte and did a rapid exit.

2 out of a possible 10

Oh dear. You're about as musically astute as a politician trying to get down with the kids. But hey, who cares about the 90s? They were so two decades ago.

I've not even heard of most of those songs or bands. The 90's were supposed to be my era as I was in my twenties from '89 to '99.

See Tango has an excuse Malc, but oh deary me.

Bet you'd recognise The Stargazers' iconic first album though eh Tango? (they were on Pointless the other day and my Dad once put I See The Moon in his pub quiz)

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

4 out of 10. But then I never paid any attention to the covers unless it had scantily clad ladies

Why, of course good sir. : All together now: " Over the mountains, over the sea, that's where my heart is longing to be. Please let the light that shines on me, shine on the one I love...I see the moon, the moon sees me........"

It was back there, at the dawn of musical time, when I finally rebelled against my dad's Josef Locke (to realise many years later what a very fine singer he was) and Caruso 78 rpm collection and persuaded my mother that a radiogram (a sort of sideboard on legs of which 10% was functional and the rest merely furniture) was a necessity. The Dansette and isolation in the bedroom followed, along with such classics as "A White Sports coat and a pink Carnation", and "Red Sails in the Sunset"...(do I imagine a bit of blushing from Monty and Dujon here?) . 11 o' clock, Sunday night and Radio Luxembourg ( Sponsored by Horace Bachelor) brought back sanity to music with Top Twenty...

Perez Prado's Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White blaring out across Blackpool Pleasure Beach on a lovely summer's day is a musical memory that will stay with me forever..(Some preferred Eddie Calvert's version, but not I)....Ah, those times....

I have a Dynatron walnut radiogram that I inherited from my grandparents. I need some speakers and a new stylus and then I can start playing some records, like my Wombles LP.

When we first got our radiogram we (my brother and me) weren't allowed to touch (mess with) it. Father opened it up with all the ceremony of diffusing a German bomb, and placed his Joseph Locke record on it like laying the foundation stone of Decca. Only when it was finished were we allowed to look for Dick Barton, Special Agent on the radio bit.....

No excuses for getting the Oasis album wrong at all.

No excuses for getting the Oasis album wrong at all.

Why? Wouldn't know what any of the wankers albums are called, let alone what the covers look like.
