Joe, I’ve got a triple album coming out next week....I’ve put you down for the chutney pickle coloured splatter vinyl edition..although I won’t be using your quote on the marketing! 😂 Cheers fellah!
I would have added Seal's debut, George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice", Deee-Lite's "World Clique", Paul Simon's "Rhythm Of The Saints" and Living Colour's massive "Time's Up" album. Still play those often. Logic, I was 16 and music really sticks at that age.
Hey man! Yeah great picks.I’ve had a couple of suggestions for World Clique. I actaually bought that album day of release, but gave it away a few months later...to be honest I was a bit of an unpredictable mess back in those days..not like now! 😆 If I showed you a list of albums I just gave away for free back then you would weep! Some absolute classics, I remember giving someone Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins..that’s worth about £200 now! 😂 Cheers my friend , always appreciated. 😊
Hi Maria! there’s been a few votes for ‘World Clique’ in the comments I actually bought it day of release on vinyl..& then gave it away months later, but that wasn’t unusual for me..I gave a lot of great (and now very expensive) records away in those days! Hope all is well with you! 😊
Your mention of Our Price brought back memories of very expensive CDs. Yes, Bona Drag is fantastic. I missed out a bit on solo Morrissey at first so when I finally caught up with that album I wasn’t even aware that some tracks were b-sides. I have Heavenly Pop Hit on 12” - what a corker!
Hello! Yeah as soon as I heard ‘Heavenley Pop Hit’ it was love at first listen! The prices of CDs back then was outrageous...but I kept buying them..it was fraud in plain sight. I remeber when Tomorrow’s World spread jam on them to demonstrate they would still play....half of mine were knackered after about 3 listens. In fact I’ve just played that ‘Chill Out’ by the KLF in the car..& it grinds to a mysterious halt with two tracks to go 😂 I’m off to spread some jam on it, Maybye that will help!
Hi Harris, 1990 reminds me of Ninja Tune, Acid Jazz & Talkin Loud labels/acts. Some interesting musical fusions coming out and there seemed to be a wave of optimism in the U.K. Favourite album that year was probably Eric B & Rakim’s “Let the Rhythm Hit ‘Em”.
Hi Ed! I started getting into Ninja Tune about 1994. I remeber buying an early Shadow cd single & a few comps, always seemed to work better on a single, the albums could bet a bit samey ! Yeah Eric B & Rakim were top tier, my favourite tune of theirs is ‘Know The Ledge’ which actually might be my favourite hip hop tune ever. The baseline on that is incredible, absolute neck snapper!
Hey VG! Yeah Britain went mad for the bomb squad around 88. PE couldn’t believe the reaction they got when they played Hammersmith. I love The Predator as well. DJ Muggs stuff on that is killer. That whole album lyrically was a wake up call for me. Hope all is good fellah!
Hi Greag. Thanks! It was a bit tongue in cheek..hopefully I won’t get chased out of the VC by angry Canadians! 😃 The only way I can motivate myself to do a video is to do a daft intro...otherwise I’m just a middle aged man waving Human League albums at his phone & talking to himself! 😂
Great record pulls, brings back similar memories of buying LP’s on a Saturday at Our Price and drinking my wages with my mates. I too remember leaving my records in taxis but unlike you never recovered them 😂 looking forward to 1991, another cracking year for music..
Ha,ha cheers mate. Yeah I remember ringing the taxi office & asking if anyone had found a record...& I had it back within a day! Yes I spent all my money on records...& then one trip up to London a month on the train , my mum didn’t get any housekeeping for years! 😊
El Segundo was the town I discovered John Fahey in. A girl in a bookstore was playing him. Also saw Pharoah Sanders there in a club. 1990 gave us Vehicle by The Clean, great albums by Galaxie 500, American Music Club, Throwing Muses, Yo La Tengo, and the only Sundays album worth owning. I know there was more but my mind has gone blank. Happens more often the more senile I get.
Hi Ed! I am a big fan of AMC. Mark Eitzel spent time growing up in Southampton (no wonder he’s so miserable) Everclear, Engine & California are incredible albums. I don’t know any albums by The Clean..but I know I would love them, as I’m a big fan of the Flying Nun sound, must investigate! Hope all is well Ed!
Good year. Got the Prefab, Ride, Twin Peaks, Julia Cruise, the brilliant Depeche Mode, Cowboy Junkies (Margo Timmins was the singer), Mozza, Public Enemy, the latter as edgy as I ever got. That Codeine album sounds interesting though.
The Cowboy Junkies are great, at least the first 2 or 3, and then I lost track of them. You could walk around Toronto at that time and not see them in concert, even for free. Bona Drag is clearly his best. I have some of these on my list, but haven't made the video yet 🙃
You never disappoint Harris. I almost choked with laughter on my wine watching your opener. Love all the great music that came out in 1990. Excellent and as ever, entertaining video. Everything is beautiful...kumbaya!
Hey cheers RM! Yeah occasionally the VC can get a bit ricdicoulus ...this is where I step in & lower the bar considerably! 😂 I hope all is well with you 😊
I’m trying my best Mike, it’s a gradual process but as Brian Clough once said ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day...but then again I wasn’t on that particular job’ 😆 I’m off to watch your ‘Life changing albums video, I’ve heard good things about it from a couple of people! 😃
Brits vs Yanks - just leave us Canucks out of it! Dont get me to flood the VC with Rush and Triumph LPs!! That Vapourtrail is pretty good! Classic brit rock / shoegaze. Ive never heard Ride before. My fave Cube record is Death Certificate. So good I have double copies in fact. Agree with the PE pick! And Mozz I listented to Bona Drag non stop in the 90s too on tape. Of course agree with your #1. I had the same for my best of 1990.
Hi Harris. Some fantastic records there. Prefab Sprout was one of those bands that I didn't really pay a great deal of attention to at the time, but I have really gotten into retrospectively. Morrissey is a bit of a dichotomy for me. Politically, he's a total arsehole but he's damn good at what he does musically. I would have included Jane's Addiction, Ritual de lo Habitual, and Slayers seasons in the Abyss too. Thanks so much for the kind words you left in the comments in Robs video, you're one of the genuinely nicest blokes in the vc. Cheers Harris 😊👍.
Hey Mark, appreciate that. It was sincere, I thought your videos were great,always a fantastic mix of albums on display (your views proved that) & you always strike me as someone who was very open minded musically, which has always been my approach. Great to hear from you! I remeber buying that ‘Jane’s’ when it came out, had some great tracks ‘Three Days’, but always ‘Nothings Shocking’ for me, but both great albums. Slayer was never quite my bag, although my girlfriend at the time was obsessed with them...& Skid Row 😆
More great albums I recently bought a reissue of Violator from Amazon it sounds great I never had it on vinyl back in the day as I was all in on CDs like a lot of people were
Hi David! ‘Chill Out’ is a wierd one, normally works best at 4AM! I’ve never had you down as a Mozza fan..although I wasn’t after 92 when he turned into a moron! 😂 Yeah that Chills album is decent..I need to try & find some stuff by The Clean, everyone tells me I’d enjoy them. Hope all is well mate! Been laying low recently life has thrown me some curveballs, but it actually may be to my benefit! Fingers crossed!
Hi Harris, 1990 was one of the best years in music, if not the best. You could easily make another equaly good Top 15 with records by Happy Mondays, Pixies, The La's, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Sundays, Pet Shop Boys, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Sinead O' Connor, The Heart Throbs, Inspiral Carpets, The House Of Love, Dead Can Dance and James. Additionally you had Loaded, Come Together, the Glider EP, What Time Is Love and Groove Is In The Heart. What a year!
Hello Sir, I actually meant to include ‘Behaviour’ & The LA’s would be too 3....but I completely forgot to include it! Heaven or LA’s Vegas would be top 5 , but I don’t own it on physical product, fantastic album. Yeah John above mentioned he might do a 12” of 1990 video, so you make a great point with the singles!
I love animals so I'm relieved to hear there were only accidental fatalities at your Panda wrestling tournament. I wasn't aware of current drama in the VC but I guess I'm not looking in the right places. I'm glad you're not really trying to start anything with us Canadians, even though I'm a non-ponytailed, non-Rush fan type of Canadian. I think I'm actually on some sort of watch-list because I posted on the internet that I think the Rush singer sounds like a cat being mistreated. I had to look at what I had from 1990, and I had The Pixies, Pogues and Waterboys among my favourites, as well as the Hindu Love Gods - a one time only album by Warren Zevon with REM (minus their singer).
Hey Arturo! I secretly love Canadians (apart from Jim Carrey obviously!) Yeah bid fan of all those bands you mentioned. I thought the shine was going off The Pixies by Bossanova, but heard it recently & it stands up, must give it another listen. Yeah careful with those Rush fans as I have found to my cost..I almost got chased out of the VC by men with Pitchforks after suggesting their drum kit was ridicoulous! 😂
@@Harrispilton22I had one Rush fan say "Just admit it, you're a hater" because I don't like Geddy Lee. He refused to believe that I couldn't enjoy "La Villa..something or other", which he called "the greatest prog rock composition ever." He called me "Arturo The Hater." I thought about changing my UA-cam name to that!
Outstanding year Paris, outstanding albums came out. I love Goo, it was the first Sonic Youth album I could dance too. Chills are excellent. In my travels I stay along the Canadian borders at times. There is a river that separates out two nations but I spend a lot of time watching for Canadians swimming over to the US. I hear many are fleeing socialized medicine. They want to get to the US so they can pay for it. Those Canadians are a strange lot, eh
Hi Steve, yes I forgot to include The LA’s debut & ‘Behaviour’ by The Pet Shop Boys should have made the cut. If I owned it ‘Heaven or LA’s Vegas’ by The Cocteau Twins would be in there! I secretly love Canadians.. apart from Jim Carrey....If I ever met him in a pub car park at 2 AM......
I'm oblivious to what needs calming down but very reassured you're here to do it. Jordan the Comeback is a good, but long, album. Love KLF's Chill Out. I was already under the spell of CDs by 1990, so have very few albums on vinyl but Violator would be my top pick too...
Rome wasn’t built in a day Dale...but I wasn’t on that particular job! 😂 I sure I can bring Harmony! Chill Out is a wierd one, I always put it on when I’m on that long A road approaching Bodmin Moor...always seems to fit the mood! Shocking I gave away huge amounts of nineties vinyl, but it was effectively worthless by about 96!
A beautiful message well delivered at the start Harris. And who knew you had the voice of an angel. I saw Ride do Nowhere last year. I gotta say I don't usually do nostalgia gigs, but they were mind blowing. Also controversially I like Going Blank Again the best. Have you seen the Twin Peaks Return series from a few years back? Holy hell that was even more mind bending than the original 90's tv show. Ice Cube was angry & funky. His first two or three were great. A CD!!!! A good one though. That was a strong run of 90's records from PE to Tribe..wow! The Chills! My neighbours. Australia's Canadians, but with better bands 😲Cheers mate, hope all is well. Cheers...Ben
I heard that Ben 😡😡. Name one NZ band that rivals Rush with ear covering vocals and rock mediocrity. Hah!, knew you couldn’t. If the VC turns on Canada, we’re ready with our Navy flotilla of 2 icebreakers and we’re readying our crack team of sharpshooters, armed with lethal Lee-Enfields. You’ve all been warned. Cheers.
Hey Ben I saw the Going Blank Again tour on my 21st birthday. Mercury Rev were support in their ‘Youself Is Steam’ phase. They were bonkers! Strange thing about that gig. I started chatting to some kid about 16 about his band the Jennifer’s , he sold me his fanzine & told me they were going to be the biggest band in England soon, I rolled my eyes and just laughed. 4 years later I recognised him on Top Of The Pops it was Danny from Supergrass! I think he dated Kate Moss too! I wander does he remeber me! He was a nice kid, we bonded over my Husker Du T-Shirt! 😂
@@vinylmartini3377 😂😂😂 I’ll call our prime minister & make sure the coast is fortified by our AUKUS submarines…oh wait a minute they won’t be ready until the early 2040’s!! Shit our goose is cooked!
@@Harrispilton22 That is a hell of a double bill & I’m sure when Danny was in the arms of Kate in a state of bliss he wondered whatever happened to that cool dude in the Husker t-shirt at the Ride gig 👍
Hi Harris - 1990 , England should have won the World Cup. Sonic Youth & Ride had my favourite albums. Depeche Mode caused a mini riot in Los Angeles at an overflow in store appearance ( The real riot came in 92 as forecast by Ice Cube / NWA ) Nice late wins for both Southampton & Norwich today ! Salute 🫡 Sargent 🇺🇸 .
Hi Dabid, we were terrible today & fluked it. Book yourself in at Wembley for the Saints Canaries play off final! 😂 I remember reading about that Depeche Mode riot, yeah the Rodney King incident is something I’ll never forget. Yeah that World Cup was incredible, Robson didn’t use a sub in the semi final!, possibly a mistake. Changed football in England forever!
Great list Harris, many in your list are some of my faves and I absolutely caned PE Fear of a Black Planet that year, their best IMO, also love the Ride album but then like you I have all the EP’s. I’d have probably squeezed in London Posse - Gangster Chronicle and Gang Starr - Step in the Arena, strong year for Hip Hop…..Done by the Forces of Nature too by the JB’s that year
Yeah, just listened to Welcome To The Terrodome . Crazy. I remember my mate coming back from America with a tape he recorded of a New York pirate station of 911 is a joke’ , about a month before it was released, we all jumped in his car to hear it, you would never do that now in the internet age. Gang Starr were classic ‘Just To Get A Rep’!!!
Hey cheers Michael. I see your closing in on 1k .Thanks again for letting me do the livestream. I actually watched it back, I think it holds up well & quite a few views considering it was 11am which is probably the worst time to do a video! Yeah Robert Frithen is great (He once did me a real kindness) I don’t always agree with BB, but I agree he’s fantastic in full flow an absolute force of nature!
I always miss the drama. You turn your back on the VC for five minutes and James Griffiths has threatened to shove Rob Walker's Jam collection where the sun don't shine...And I'm not talking about Oldham. Oh, well, thats the way the cookie crumbles. Just scored tickets to see The Breeders in Leeds later in the year. I'm a little bit worried my aging ears might not be able to cope, I've been listening to folky country acoustic shite for far too long. Cheers - Hed
Ha,ha, that really made me laugh. The chapter in Bill Drummond's book about recording with Tammy Wynette is fantastic. She was literally bewildered by the whole thing. I think in the end she sang it acappella & they fitted her vocals in after. ‘Till I Get It Right’ by Tammy is one of my favourite tunes ever! Thanks Headley! If you go to Leeds Saturday have a great time. 😊
I've only recently come round to Tammy Wynette. While Stand By Your Man is a single which I think transcends musical genre, it is overplayed. Her collaboration with The KLF is fun, but hardly her finest moment. I just got her album Ways To Love A Man from 1970, a fabulous record. The title track, is immense. At her best I don't think anyone sings with as much pain, grit and dignity as Tammy.
Yes agreed Headley. Patsy Cline is probably her equal. ‘So Wrong’ & ‘Leaving On Your Mind’ are like deep soul tunes really. Incredible stuff.@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893
For a moment at the start I thought you were going to sing 'I have a drink'! Panda wrestling is a much needed tv program, I'm surprised the BBC haven't had a crack at it yet. I thought #UKVC was just a simple hashtag idea, I didn't realise we had artillery aimed at Canada but yes why not! Albums left in Taxis is definitely a winning VC thread. The only thing I can identify with here in 1990 (I was out of the country that's my excuse) is that I used to have the 23 Envelope/4AD posters set and one of them was that Breeders album cover. How did you know about my Kraftwerk fantasies??
‘Panda Wresting With Chris Eubank’ It’s cheap...we could do it in a pub car park! 😂 My analytics tell me no one watches me in Canada, so I think I should be able to ok. 1990 was a bit of an odd year in retrospect & then Britpop came & ruined everything!
I must have missed the recent drama. There was a little drama from time to time in the early days of this community. This is going back eight to twelve years. But it was always corrected quickly. Most to all of the parties involved are gone. I knew that you were going to pull out Bona Drag Harris. You just had to. I was hoping and depending on you to do so. It is a brilliant collection of some of Moz's strongest material. Speaking of which. His two new albums that are completely completed are still waiting for a label to bite. My guess is they will not see the light of day. But he can release them as a double record set. Or use the tracks as b-sides. Now that Alain White is gone I will not expect much. Alain is playing with ex-Moz members Gary Day, Spencer Cobrin, Gus Manzur and ex-Smiths member Craig Gannon. Brilliant lineup. I never heard a bad Tribe Called Quest album. Wonderful 90's selections Harris. Stoked that the VC still has some top notch channels like this one~ Rob/Boston
Hi Rob! Great to hear from you. Not much drama, just some daft US/U.K. thing involving a couple of people. They need their heads banging together! 😂 The bits I’ve heard from the Morrissey live clips sound brilliant. Could be his best album since ‘You are the quarry’. It has to be released. I’ve just been made redundant so I might fund it myself! Crazy how long the VC has existed..I imagine it was a very different place back then! It’s a great place, met so many friends like yourself, it’s easy to ignore the brief moments of madness. Yeah that Tribe album is great. They rarely puta foot wrong. Thanks as ever Rob, always look forward to seeing you comment! 😊
Fresh from his success on John & Hedleys pub jukebox spectacular 👍👍👍 Yes mate music should be disruptive,especially when you're giving it beanz,with the speakers pointed right at the dividing wall between you and the neighbours 🤬🤬🤬 The summer of 1990 was mostly spent in the pubs of Kettering,jumping up and down and singing World In Motion....an awful lot of alcahol had been consumed,WE'RE SINGING FOR ENGLAND....ENGERLAND !!!
Ha,ha same with me Nick. It was the first World Cup that I watched in a pub. I saw a great album today. 60 BBC themes. Steptoe, Dads army, Fawlty Towers etc £6.00 quid. I may try & pick it up next time, it ran from the fifties to the eighties, looked great! Hope all is well mate. Have a great time in Leeds, look forward to hearing about it! 😃
Hey, Harris. Nice selections! If you like The Caution Horses but not keen on the production, check out the album Sharon, issued in 2022. It’s the original performance of Caution Horses captured on a single mic a la The Trinity Sessions. Why they scrapped it in favor of the full-blown studio recording, I don’t know. Anyway, highly recommended. Hands across the water! Cheers
Wow, that’s interesting. Going to Definately check that out as I feel this was the peak of their songwriting, I’m actually a bit hit & miss with The Trinity sessions, probably need to pull that up again & listen with fresh ears, I was hitting my grunge phase when I bought it 😂 Thanks, much appreciated! 😊
Predator is the peak Ice Cube record. Until Westside Connection’s first album, that is (aka the last gangsta rap album worth a sh1t). Surprised any elderly people didn’t get lost on the hip hop shown here. Maybe there’s hope for the vinyl community after all! 😂
Hey Chance! Yeah Predator is still underrated imo. That opening track with the Queen sample (When will they shoot?) just knocked my head off when I first heard it. The DJ Muggs stuff has aged better than The Bomb Squad production. Beleive it or not I’ve never heard the WC album, will hop on Spotify now! Cheers Chance appreciated as always! 😊
Ah, the Bomb Squad. Revolutionary at the time, but even then they always had the potential to overload their tracks with noise. At the time, my friend Brian said Public Enemy sounded like "a traffic jam." Fear Of A Black Planet pretty much walked that line, sometimes teetering toward the cacaphonic (not a word) side of things. As for the VC - I love seeing all these people complain about it. I don't understand it. It's like a bunch of grade school children screaming at each other, where they all look ridiculous in their seriousness, but you stand back and sorta giggle to yourself. Harris, is that a wall-phone in the background?! Was this video recorded in 1990 and beamed into the future?!
Hi M! Yeah I listened to ‘Fear’ again last night & it was pretty exhausting..but when it’s good it’s sounds like no one else. That is a wall phone, it’s the old security phone for my flat (apartment) now if someone rings the door my phone goes off, unfortunately everyone in my block has linked there door to my phone...my living room now resembles an Amazon warehouse! 😂
So Breeders were doing this whole quite/loud, but not on there. And it has you fave Beatles song, but in a pretty weak version? Sorry Harris, you didn't get the job. FIVE alBums I would put in a top 15 of 1990 ^^ : Meat Beat Manifesto 99%, A guy Called Gerald's Automatik, Unique 3's Jus' Unique, Sonic Boom's Spectrum, Loop's A Guilded Eternity
Hey Stunty, I’ve never heard ‘Automatik’ I got burned by Hot Lemonade! It’s not my fault the Breeders did a bad version of ‘Happiness’ 😂 I’ve got the 12” of Loop”s . ‘Decision Time’ which is my favourite of theirs. Actually ‘Doe’ is a bit Quiet Loud Quiet and ‘Glorious’ has a very Never ind baseline! I’ll redo the whole video! 😆
Lucky I am here in the Outer Rim of VC. So disharmony waves are very lame when arrives here... Early 90s were full grindcore for me... Public Enemy is only I have, and maybe Ice-T as CD. Nowadays In listen 90s brit pop quite a lot, because I have common spotify list with my daughter, who seem to like 90s stuff.
Hi Tommy. I had a brief moment with Grindcore as John Peel was playing loads of it. In fact I showed my Napalm Death Peel sessions album on here. I used to listen to A.C (can’t type the name 😂) I like the idea of you & your daughter listen to Pulp & Elastica! Thanks my friend, hope all is well! 😊
@@Harrispilton22 Yeah, John Peel introduced grindcore with Napalm Death. Still remember the late summer night in our cabin listening Peel session from radio and Divine Death starts playing.... Pulp is regular in our playlist.
UK US VC friction surely not?! Wonder who started that up? Not me or you for that matter. Some is friendly rivalry some not. I'm not dishing the dirt here thats for sure I'd text you rather. 1990 was the year I think i went from zero to hero record shop minor celebrity at least in my mind...... I still liked Madonna but bought things like that Codeine not fully understanding what it was all about. New Kim Gordon album out next week sounds good it's rare i buy new stuff but this one I'm going for. My mate went up at Anfield last week he's a saints season ticket holder looks like the red machine is back in full effect and my lot the arse(nal) will struggle to keep up now. Hopefully their next manager will be Graeme Souness like......
Hey Martin, I agree, I’m really enjoying the new Kim Gordon stuff. ‘Bye,Bye’ is a great tune, almost like industrial hip hop, I’m thinking of getting the album too. Yeah this video was slightly tongue in cheek, but I did watch a stream where USA v U.K. seemed to be becoming a thing. I just thought it was a bit daft! People continually talking about channels they don’t like....well don’t watch them then 😂 Are you going up to Leeds? Feel free to ping me a message, or I might message you even later today! Speak soon fellah! Sheffield on Monday..potential Potato Skin for The Gooners! 😂
I just logged onto utube to check out this RAYE character who won some awards tonight. Mindnumbing AI generated pseudo Jazz pastiche. Your singing is better than hers. What a bleak time we live in for pap muzak, as bad as the 80's? Drawing a blank for 1990, although I did buy the Peaks vinyl, as to why?, soon found out as is usually the way the music without the visuals lacks purpose or merit. Depeche Mode, are you going to embody the psyche of a 14 year old girl until the grim reaper arrives!
Someone said the was the Brits last night? I had no idea as I threw out my TV after three weeks of watching Johnson’s 5pm Covid updates & not surprisingly my mental health improved instantly, never felt the need to replace it. I get all the entertainment I need from watching the wonderful VC 😂 I literally cannot remember if I watched Twin Peaks or not?
@@Harrispilton22 What is often overlooked about Twin Peaks was the lovely ladies in tight fitting attire, which subliminally enticed a certain calibre of viewer and explained why it was callled Twin Peaks! If Boris has performed a rap tune in a shiny tracksuit about Covid you'd have kept the TV!
If Harris sings again I will dump tea in a harbor.
Joe, I’ve got a triple album coming out next week....I’ve put you down for the chutney pickle coloured splatter vinyl edition..although I won’t be using your quote on the marketing! 😂 Cheers fellah!
I would have added Seal's debut, George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice", Deee-Lite's "World Clique", Paul Simon's "Rhythm Of The Saints" and Living Colour's massive "Time's Up" album. Still play those often. Logic, I was 16 and music really sticks at that age.
Hey man! Yeah great picks.I’ve had a couple of suggestions for World Clique. I actaually bought that album day of release, but gave it away a few months later...to be honest I was a bit of an unpredictable mess back in those days..not like now! 😆 If I showed you a list of albums I just gave away for free back then you would weep! Some absolute classics, I remember giving someone Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins..that’s worth about £200 now! 😂 Cheers my friend , always appreciated. 😊
88, 89, and 90 are my favourite years Harris, seemed like much better times back then :)
Hey Shaun, thanks for watching, yeah, they were great times indeed my friend! 😃
Glad you're back. My favorite 1990 release is Dee Lite's World Clique. I was starting to get cd's at this point.
Hi Maria! there’s been a few votes for ‘World Clique’ in the comments I actually bought it day of release on vinyl..& then gave it away months later, but that wasn’t unusual for me..I gave a lot of great (and now very expensive) records away in those days! Hope all is well with you! 😊

Ha,ha well we both started off as shipping clerks at 17, so I’ll take that! 😂 Appreciate it Derek, I won’t leave it so long time! 😊
@@Harrispilton22 Top man 👍
The Shockley Brothers did a great job producing that Ice Cube album!
Hey VG! Yeah Britain went mad for the bomb squad around 88. PE couldn’t believe the reaction they got when they played Hammersmith. I love The Predator as well. DJ Muggs stuff on that is killer. That whole album lyrically was a wake up call for me. Hope all is good fellah!
Great video, especially the opening!!!
Hi Greag. Thanks! It was a bit tongue in cheek..hopefully I won’t get chased out of the VC by angry Canadians! 😃 The only way I can motivate myself to do a video is to do a daft intro...otherwise I’m just a middle aged man waving Human League albums at his phone & talking to himself! 😂

Good year. Got the Prefab, Ride, Twin Peaks, Julia Cruise, the brilliant Depeche Mode, Cowboy Junkies (Margo Timmins was the singer), Mozza, Public Enemy, the latter as edgy as I ever got. That Codeine album sounds interesting though.
The Cowboy Junkies are great, at least the first 2 or 3, and then I lost track of them. You could walk around Toronto at that time and not see them in concert, even for free. Bona Drag is clearly his best. I have some of these on my list, but haven't made the video yet 🙃
You never disappoint Harris. I almost choked with laughter on my wine watching your opener. Love all the great music that came out in 1990. Excellent and as ever, entertaining video. Everything is beautiful...kumbaya!
Hey cheers RM! Yeah occasionally the VC can get a bit ricdicoulus ...this is where I step in & lower the bar considerably! 😂 I hope all is well with you 😊
@@Harrispilton22 Did I miss something? Was there a handbag moment somewhere in the VC 🤣
Ah Harris, thanks to your video the VC World is back on an even keel. 😂 Great selection of records.
I’m trying my best Mike, it’s a gradual process but as Brian Clough once said ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day...but then again I wasn’t on that particular job’ 😆 I’m off to watch your ‘Life changing albums video, I’ve heard good things about it from a couple of people! 😃
Brits vs Yanks - just leave us Canucks out of it! Dont get me to flood the VC with Rush and Triumph LPs!!
That Vapourtrail is pretty good! Classic brit rock / shoegaze. Ive never heard Ride before. My fave Cube record is Death Certificate. So good I have double copies in fact.
Agree with the PE pick! And Mozz I listented to Bona Drag non stop in the 90s too on tape. Of course agree with your #1. I had the same for my best of 1990.
Hi Harris. Some fantastic records there. Prefab Sprout was one of those bands that I didn't really pay a great deal of attention to at the time, but I have really gotten into retrospectively. Morrissey is a bit of a dichotomy for me. Politically, he's a total arsehole but he's damn good at what he does musically. I would have included Jane's Addiction, Ritual de lo Habitual, and Slayers seasons in the Abyss too. Thanks so much for the kind words you left in the comments in Robs video, you're one of the genuinely nicest blokes in the vc. Cheers Harris 😊👍.
Hey Mark, appreciate that. It was sincere, I thought your videos were great,always a fantastic mix of albums on display (your views proved that) & you always strike me as someone who was very open minded musically, which has always been my approach. Great to hear from you! I remeber buying that ‘Jane’s’ when it came out, had some great tracks ‘Three Days’, but always ‘Nothings Shocking’ for me, but both great albums. Slayer was never quite my bag, although my girlfriend at the time was obsessed with them...& Skid Row 😆
More great albums I recently bought a reissue of Violator from Amazon it sounds great I never had it on vinyl back in the day as I was all in on CDs like a lot of people were
Hey Mark, yeah the Violator reissue sounds great. An original will probably set you back £50.00 plus nowadays & the ones I’ve seen are battered!
I checked out CHILL OUT thanks to you!.........BONA DRAG is my fave Mozza.....JULEE CRUISE....CHILLSFantastic vid HP!!!
Hi David! ‘Chill Out’ is a wierd one, normally works best at 4AM! I’ve never had you down as a Mozza fan..although I wasn’t after 92 when he turned into a moron! 😂 Yeah that Chills album is decent..I need to try & find some stuff by The Clean, everyone tells me I’d enjoy them. Hope all is well mate! Been laying low recently life has thrown me some curveballs, but it actually may be to my benefit! Fingers crossed!
Hi Harris,
1990 was one of the best years in music, if not the best. You could easily make another equaly good Top 15 with records by Happy Mondays, Pixies, The La's, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Sundays, Pet Shop Boys, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Sinead O' Connor, The Heart Throbs, Inspiral Carpets, The House Of Love, Dead Can Dance and James.
Additionally you had Loaded, Come Together, the Glider EP, What Time Is Love and Groove Is In The Heart.
What a year!
Hello Sir, I actually meant to include ‘Behaviour’ & The LA’s would be too 3....but I completely forgot to include it! Heaven or LA’s Vegas would be top 5 , but I don’t own it on physical product, fantastic album. Yeah John above mentioned he might do a 12” of 1990 video, so you make a great point with the singles!
I love animals so I'm relieved to hear there were only accidental fatalities at your Panda wrestling tournament. I wasn't aware of current drama in the VC but I guess I'm not looking in the right places. I'm glad you're not really trying to start anything with us Canadians, even though I'm a non-ponytailed, non-Rush fan type of Canadian. I think I'm actually on some sort of watch-list because I posted on the internet that I think the Rush singer sounds like a cat being mistreated. I had to look at what I had from 1990, and I had The Pixies, Pogues and Waterboys among my favourites, as well as the Hindu Love Gods - a one time only album by Warren Zevon with REM (minus their singer).
Hey Arturo! I secretly love Canadians (apart from Jim Carrey obviously!) Yeah bid fan of all those bands you mentioned. I thought the shine was going off The Pixies by Bossanova, but heard it recently & it stands up, must give it another listen. Yeah careful with those Rush fans as I have found to my cost..I almost got chased out of the VC by men with Pitchforks after suggesting their drum kit was ridicoulous! 😂
@@Harrispilton22I had one Rush fan say "Just admit it, you're a hater" because I don't like Geddy Lee. He refused to believe that I couldn't enjoy "La Villa..something or other", which he called "the greatest prog rock composition ever."
He called me "Arturo The Hater." I thought about changing my UA-cam name to that!
Outstanding year Paris, outstanding albums came out. I love Goo, it was the first Sonic Youth album I could dance too. Chills are excellent. In my travels I stay along the Canadian borders at times. There is a river that separates out two nations but I spend a lot of time watching for Canadians swimming over to the US. I hear many are fleeing socialized medicine. They want to get to the US so they can pay for it. Those Canadians are a strange lot, eh
Hi Steve, yes I forgot to include The LA’s debut & ‘Behaviour’ by The Pet Shop Boys should have made the cut. If I owned it ‘Heaven or LA’s Vegas’ by The Cocteau Twins would be in there! I secretly love Canadians.. apart from Jim Carrey....If I ever met him in a pub car park at 2 AM......
I'm oblivious to what needs calming down but very reassured you're here to do it. Jordan the Comeback is a good, but long, album. Love KLF's Chill Out. I was already under the spell of CDs by 1990, so have very few albums on vinyl but Violator would be my top pick too...
Rome wasn’t built in a day Dale...but I wasn’t on that particular job! 😂 I sure I can bring Harmony! Chill Out is a wierd one, I always put it on when I’m on that long A road approaching Bodmin Moor...always seems to fit the mood! Shocking I gave away huge amounts of nineties vinyl, but it was effectively worthless by about 96!
Shame about the Panda Wrestling, it could have been huge. Andy
This intro! Subscribed! 😂❤🇺🇸
Hey, thanks very much...it’s all downhill from here! 😂
A beautiful message well delivered at the start Harris. And who knew you had the voice of an angel. I saw Ride do Nowhere last year. I gotta say I don't usually do nostalgia gigs, but they were mind blowing. Also controversially I like Going Blank Again the best. Have you seen the Twin Peaks Return series from a few years back? Holy hell that was even more mind bending than the original 90's tv show. Ice Cube was angry & funky. His first two or three were great. A CD!!!! A good one though. That was a strong run of 90's records from PE to Tribe..wow! The Chills! My neighbours. Australia's Canadians, but with better bands 😲Cheers mate, hope all is well. Cheers...Ben
I heard that Ben 😡😡. Name one NZ band that rivals Rush with ear covering vocals and rock mediocrity. Hah!, knew you couldn’t. If the VC turns on Canada, we’re ready with our Navy flotilla of 2 icebreakers and we’re readying our crack team of sharpshooters, armed with lethal Lee-Enfields. You’ve all been warned. Cheers.
Hey Ben I saw the Going Blank Again tour on my 21st birthday. Mercury Rev were support in their ‘Youself Is Steam’ phase. They were bonkers! Strange thing about that gig. I started chatting to some kid about 16 about his band the Jennifer’s , he sold me his fanzine & told me they were going to be the biggest band in England soon, I rolled my eyes and just laughed. 4 years later I recognised him on Top Of The Pops it was Danny from Supergrass! I think he dated Kate Moss too! I wander does he remeber me! He was a nice kid, we bonded over my Husker Du T-Shirt! 😂
Back off Canada!!! 😂 I’m heading up the Dad’s Army Brigade! @@vinylmartini3377
@@vinylmartini3377 😂😂😂 I’ll call our prime minister & make sure the coast is fortified by our AUKUS submarines…oh wait a minute they won’t be ready until the early 2040’s!! Shit our goose is cooked!
@@Harrispilton22 That is a hell of a double bill & I’m sure when Danny was in the arms of Kate in a state of bliss he wondered whatever happened to that cool dude in the Husker t-shirt at the Ride gig 👍
Hi Harris - 1990 , England should have won the World Cup. Sonic Youth & Ride had my favourite albums. Depeche Mode caused a mini riot in Los Angeles at an overflow in store appearance ( The real riot came in 92 as forecast by Ice Cube / NWA ) Nice late wins for both Southampton & Norwich today ! Salute 🫡 Sargent 🇺🇸 .
Hi Dabid, we were terrible today & fluked it. Book yourself in at Wembley for the Saints Canaries play off final! 😂 I remember reading about that Depeche Mode riot, yeah the Rodney King incident is something I’ll never forget. Yeah that World Cup was incredible, Robson didn’t use a sub in the semi final!, possibly a mistake. Changed football in England forever!
Great list Harris, many in your list are some of my faves and I absolutely caned PE Fear of a Black Planet that year, their best IMO, also love the Ride album but then like you I have all the EP’s. I’d have probably squeezed in London Posse - Gangster Chronicle and Gang Starr - Step in the Arena, strong year for Hip Hop…..Done by the Forces of Nature too by the JB’s that year
Yeah, just listened to Welcome To The Terrodome . Crazy. I remember my mate coming back from America with a tape he recorded of a New York pirate station of 911 is a joke’ , about a month before it was released, we all jumped in his car to hear it, you would never do that now in the internet age. Gang Starr were classic ‘Just To Get A Rep’!!!
Three of the most talented orators in the VC: Harris Pilton, Robert Fithen & Brother Brian
Hey cheers Michael. I see your closing in on 1k .Thanks again for letting me do the livestream. I actually watched it back, I think it holds up well & quite a few views considering it was 11am which is probably the worst time to do a video! Yeah Robert Frithen is great (He once did me a real kindness) I don’t always agree with BB, but I agree he’s fantastic in full flow an absolute force of nature!
Violator number 1 …as it should be 👑
A wonderful album. Sounds incredible on vinyl too. I’ve got the 12’ of Enjoy The Silence’ wonderful remixes!
I always miss the drama. You turn your back on the VC for five minutes and James Griffiths has threatened to shove Rob Walker's Jam collection where the sun don't shine...And I'm not talking about Oldham.
Oh, well, thats the way the cookie crumbles.
Just scored tickets to see The Breeders in Leeds later in the year. I'm a little bit worried my aging ears might not be able to cope, I've been listening to folky country acoustic shite for far too long.
Cheers - Hed
Ha,ha, that really made me laugh. The chapter in Bill Drummond's book about recording with Tammy Wynette is fantastic. She was literally bewildered by the whole thing. I think in the end she sang it acappella & they fitted her vocals in after. ‘Till I Get It Right’ by Tammy is one of my favourite tunes ever! Thanks Headley! If you go to Leeds Saturday have a great time. 😊
I've only recently come round to Tammy Wynette. While Stand By Your Man is a single which I think transcends musical genre, it is overplayed. Her collaboration with The KLF is fun, but hardly her finest moment. I just got her album Ways To Love A Man from 1970, a fabulous record. The title track, is immense. At her best I don't think anyone sings with as much pain, grit and dignity as Tammy.
Yes agreed Headley. Patsy Cline is probably her equal. ‘So Wrong’ & ‘Leaving On Your Mind’ are like deep soul tunes really. Incredible stuff.@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893
For a moment at the start I thought you were going to sing 'I have a drink'!
Panda wrestling is a much needed tv program, I'm surprised the BBC haven't had a crack at it yet.
I thought #UKVC was just a simple hashtag idea, I didn't realise we had artillery aimed at Canada but yes why not! Albums left in Taxis is definitely a winning VC thread. The only thing I can identify with here in 1990 (I was out of the country that's my excuse) is that I used to have the 23 Envelope/4AD posters set and one of them was that Breeders album cover. How did you know about my Kraftwerk fantasies??
‘Panda Wresting With Chris Eubank’ It’s cheap...we could do it in a pub car park! 😂 My analytics tell me no one watches me in Canada, so I think I should be able to ok. 1990 was a bit of an odd year in retrospect & then Britpop came & ruined everything!
I must have missed the recent drama. There was a little drama from time to time in the early days of this community. This is going back eight to twelve years. But it was always corrected quickly. Most to all of the parties involved are gone. I knew that you were going to pull out Bona Drag Harris. You just had to. I was hoping and depending on you to do so. It is a brilliant collection of some of Moz's strongest material. Speaking of which. His two new albums that are completely completed are still waiting for a label to bite. My guess is they will not see the light of day. But he can release them as a double record set. Or use the tracks as b-sides. Now that Alain White is gone I will not expect much. Alain is playing with ex-Moz members Gary Day, Spencer Cobrin, Gus Manzur and ex-Smiths member Craig Gannon. Brilliant lineup. I never heard a bad Tribe Called Quest album. Wonderful 90's selections Harris. Stoked that the VC still has some top notch channels like this one~
Rob/Boston
Hi Rob! Great to hear from you. Not much drama, just some daft US/U.K. thing involving a couple of people. They need their heads banging together! 😂 The bits I’ve heard from the Morrissey live clips sound brilliant. Could be his best album since ‘You are the quarry’. It has to be released. I’ve just been made redundant so I might fund it myself! Crazy how long the VC has existed..I imagine it was a very different place back then! It’s a great place, met so many friends like yourself, it’s easy to ignore the brief moments of madness. Yeah that Tribe album is great. They rarely puta foot wrong. Thanks as ever Rob, always look forward to seeing you comment! 😊
Fresh from his success on John & Hedleys pub jukebox spectacular 👍👍👍
Yes mate music should be disruptive,especially when you're giving it beanz,with the speakers pointed right at the dividing wall between you and the neighbours 🤬🤬🤬 The summer of 1990 was mostly spent in the pubs of Kettering,jumping up and down and singing World In Motion....an awful lot of alcahol had been consumed,WE'RE SINGING FOR ENGLAND....ENGERLAND !!!
Ha,ha same with me Nick. It was the first World Cup that I watched in a pub. I saw a great album today. 60 BBC themes. Steptoe, Dads army, Fawlty Towers etc £6.00 quid. I may try & pick it up next time, it ran from the fifties to the eighties, looked great! Hope all is well mate. Have a great time in Leeds, look forward to hearing about it! 😃
Hey, Harris. Nice selections! If you like The Caution Horses but not keen on the production, check out the album Sharon, issued in 2022. It’s the original performance of Caution Horses captured on a single mic a la The Trinity Sessions. Why they scrapped it in favor of the full-blown studio recording, I don’t know. Anyway, highly recommended. Hands across the water! Cheers
Wow, that’s interesting. Going to Definately check that out as I feel this was the peak of their songwriting, I’m actually a bit hit & miss with The Trinity sessions, probably need to pull that up again & listen with fresh ears, I was hitting my grunge phase when I bought it 😂 Thanks, much appreciated! 😊
Predator is the peak Ice Cube record. Until Westside Connection’s first album, that is (aka the last gangsta rap album worth a sh1t). Surprised any elderly people didn’t get lost on the hip hop shown here. Maybe there’s hope for the vinyl community after all! 😂
Hey Chance! Yeah Predator is still underrated imo. That opening track with the Queen sample (When will they shoot?) just knocked my head off when I first heard it. The DJ Muggs stuff has aged better than The Bomb Squad production. Beleive it or not I’ve never heard the WC album, will hop on Spotify now! Cheers Chance appreciated as always! 😊
Ah, the Bomb Squad. Revolutionary at the time, but even then they always had the potential to overload their tracks with noise. At the time, my friend Brian said Public Enemy sounded like "a traffic jam." Fear Of A Black Planet pretty much walked that line, sometimes teetering toward the cacaphonic (not a word) side of things.
As for the VC - I love seeing all these people complain about it. I don't understand it. It's like a bunch of grade school children screaming at each other, where they all look ridiculous in their seriousness, but you stand back and sorta giggle to yourself.
Harris, is that a wall-phone in the background?! Was this video recorded in 1990 and beamed into the future?!
Hi M! Yeah I listened to ‘Fear’ again last night & it was pretty exhausting..but when it’s good it’s sounds like no one else. That is a wall phone, it’s the old security phone for my flat (apartment) now if someone rings the door my phone goes off, unfortunately everyone in my block has linked there door to my phone...my living room now resembles an Amazon warehouse! 😂
So Breeders were doing this whole quite/loud, but not on there. And it has you fave Beatles song, but in a pretty weak version? Sorry Harris, you didn't get the job.
FIVE alBums I would put in a top 15 of 1990 ^^ : Meat Beat Manifesto 99%, A guy Called Gerald's Automatik, Unique 3's Jus' Unique, Sonic Boom's Spectrum, Loop's A Guilded Eternity
Hey Stunty, I’ve never heard ‘Automatik’ I got burned by Hot Lemonade! It’s not my fault the Breeders did a bad version of ‘Happiness’ 😂 I’ve got the 12” of Loop”s . ‘Decision Time’ which is my favourite of theirs. Actually ‘Doe’ is a bit Quiet Loud Quiet and ‘Glorious’ has a very Never ind baseline! I’ll redo the whole video! 😆
@@Harrispilton22 LOL, fair enough ^^
Lucky I am here in the Outer Rim of VC. So disharmony waves are very lame when arrives here... Early 90s were full grindcore for me... Public Enemy is only I have, and maybe Ice-T as CD. Nowadays In listen 90s brit pop quite a lot, because I have common spotify list with my daughter, who seem to like 90s stuff.
Hi Tommy. I had a brief moment with Grindcore as John Peel was playing loads of it. In fact I showed my Napalm Death Peel sessions album on here. I used to listen to A.C (can’t type the name 😂) I like the idea of you & your daughter listen to Pulp & Elastica! Thanks my friend, hope all is well! 😊
@@Harrispilton22 Yeah, John Peel introduced grindcore with Napalm Death. Still remember the late summer night in our cabin listening Peel session from radio and Divine Death starts playing.... Pulp is regular in our playlist.
UK US VC friction surely not?! Wonder who started that up? Not me or you for that matter. Some is friendly rivalry some not. I'm not dishing the dirt here thats for sure I'd text you rather. 1990 was the year I think i went from zero to hero record shop minor celebrity at least in my mind...... I still liked Madonna but bought things like that Codeine not fully understanding what it was all about.
New Kim Gordon album out next week sounds good it's rare i buy new stuff but this one I'm going for.
My mate went up at Anfield last week he's a saints season ticket holder looks like the red machine is back in full effect and my lot the arse(nal) will struggle to keep up now. Hopefully their next manager will be Graeme Souness like......
Hey Martin, I agree, I’m really enjoying the new Kim Gordon stuff. ‘Bye,Bye’ is a great tune, almost like industrial hip hop, I’m thinking of getting the album too. Yeah this video was slightly tongue in cheek, but I did watch a stream where USA v U.K. seemed to be becoming a thing. I just thought it was a bit daft! People continually talking about channels they don’t like....well don’t watch them then 😂 Are you going up to Leeds? Feel free to ping me a message, or I might message you even later today! Speak soon fellah! Sheffield on Monday..potential Potato Skin for The Gooners! 😂
I just logged onto utube to check out this RAYE character who won some awards tonight. Mindnumbing AI generated pseudo Jazz pastiche. Your singing is better than hers. What a bleak time we live in for pap muzak, as bad as the 80's? Drawing a blank for 1990, although I did buy the Peaks vinyl, as to why?, soon found out as is usually the way the music without the visuals lacks purpose or merit. Depeche Mode, are you going to embody the psyche of a 14 year old girl until the grim reaper arrives!
Someone said the was the Brits last night? I had no idea as I threw out my TV after three weeks of watching Johnson’s 5pm Covid updates & not surprisingly my mental health improved instantly, never felt the need to replace it. I get all the entertainment I need from watching the wonderful VC 😂 I literally cannot remember if I watched Twin Peaks or not?
@@Harrispilton22 What is often overlooked about Twin Peaks was the lovely ladies in tight fitting attire, which subliminally enticed a certain calibre of viewer and explained why it was callled Twin Peaks! If Boris has performed a rap tune in a shiny tracksuit about Covid you'd have kept the TV!
