The best days of my life, 95 to 98, the music that was around at that time will not be beaten, apart from madchester, remember watchin tfi as you was gettin ready to go out, drop a cag on, levis 501s, an a pair of gazelles, walkin with a swagger an you was ready to take on the world, the weekend had truly landed. happy days!
I was 19 when it came out, used to love fridays, tfi, the pub,leathered then do it again on saturday, same as everyone else id love to be back there sometimes, 30 now and feeling old! aftershave of choice back then was tommy by tommy hilfiger!
I have recently listened again to Tellin' Stories and Us and Us Only. The Charlatans really painted an atmosphere in their songs. Their best songs can easily stand up with the likes of Urban Hymns in terms of a sense of mystery but I actually rank The Charlatans higher because they can do so whilst also being positive.

too right, i was 18 at the time, and had the same friday night patern, get in from work, scrub my balls, put on my Adidas 3 stripe trac top on and off down the Penny in Canterbury to try and get hold of some indie birds while dancing to the best tunes ever. Aftershave of choice...Joop...lol Best days of my life, i feel lucky to have been older enuff to have lived it, and i knew it at the time too.
@TR1PACE5 Hurricane #1,the mondays,pulp,bluetones,shed seven,sleeper,supergrass(occasionally),suedeand even the manics the attitude,the clothes,the music,the swagger,the crowds,the programmes everything was better in the nineties and this is not just me getting old
Trip m8, and SuperMellonman are both right. These bands were brilliant. I still like Oasis though and I think The Verve should also be nearly top of the list of true greats. I wud love to see The Charlatans live
Wish they'd bring back TFI Friday (or something like it). There's currently nowhere on mainstream TV for live music - other than Jools Holland or those awful programmes after midnight on Ch4 with "Tesco" in the title (ironic given that supermarkets have been in no small part responsible for the destruction of dedicated record shops....)
The Stone Roses. How sad, though, that the evident mystery and passion in their songs is lost on many people who have to bludgeoned with cheap cliche to be moved. The Charlatans are as real a deal as you will get.
@gladhand1001 dont forget cast, OCS, kula shaker, the la's, radiohead (1 or 2 good ones)....and even when i look back now, altho i was, am, and always will be oasis thru n thru, you have to say it, you cant deny, blur aswell!
their debut album was hailed as the best brittish debut album of all time....made me laugh when u think of the roses debut and definately maybe, these albums were the real deal, true brittish gems.....like alex turner famously said..."dont believe the hype"
the unluckiest band in history, armed robbery etc. they managed to outlast the stone roses and the happy mondays though, fucking class tune, turn it up!
@BORROVAN26 well northern uproar definately were poop, but cast had a really good album, finetime is a classic, so is alright, there were some really good songs on that record, then they came back with mother nature calls....sorry pal i cant knock cast, and OCS mosely shoals album is rightly regarded as one of the defining album of the era.......these are 2 class bands, i cant see your point
The arctic monkeys are good though. Don't get caught up in your own (which sounds like my generation too). Gets on my tits when people bang on about the good old days, 50s, 60s,70s 80's, 90s people say it for all of them. There's always good stuff out there.
supermellonman...oasis ARE great, no question, i know they wernt around furin madchester but they led the next great culture movement that was britpop, i dont like callin it britpop because the best best bands involved in it were not pop, with the exeption of blur (ok pulp were pop but they made classics) black grape, bluetones, cast, oasis, OCS, kula shaker etc etc were all rockin bands.....
Not really, cos this is one of their best and the Stone Roses have about 30 songs as good as Going Down. But I suppose they're both pretty chilled out if thats what you mean... Fucking amazing tune though either way..
john mcluskey...on ur point, yea the verve deserve their place as a great brittish band, they came along at the end of that movement along wi the stereophonics, and both cud be classed as two of the last great bands to come out of britain in the last 20 years......arctic monkeys on the other hand belong to an era where they scoff at u for sayin it how it is, evebn when u do it through rock n roll.....its just too hollow and dishonest for me, to clean cut and snobby, i really do think theyre shit

What an album that was, defined the 90's perfectly.
Joyful, so many good memories!

Brings back a few memories this.

of madchester. wasnt it a magic era!
charlies, inspirals, roses, james, and
the mondays.
sublime
i do still go to gigs...i was at murrayfield lately to see oasis kasabian and the enemy.....all three were brilliant
@utubedannyb How sweet your mom was!!! And so is your memory...Loved TFI Friday...90's was such a golden age...
I loved TFI Friday

class fooking class

I used to record all the bands that appeared on TFI but I've lost the tape it was on :(
The Stone Roses. How sad, though, that the evident mystery and passion in their songs is lost on many people who have to bludgeoned with cheap cliche to be moved. The Charlatans are as real a deal as you will get.
1997 - off of the 'Tellin' Stories' album
Just go see them if you still go to gigs.
@BORROVAN26 yep also 'live the dream' is one of ther best songs, walkaway and guiding star
@gladhand1001 dont forget cast, OCS, kula shaker, the la's, radiohead (1 or 2 good ones)....and even when i look back now, altho i was, am, and always will be oasis thru n thru, you have to say it, you cant deny, blur aswell!
Tim looks very nice here :)
fucking fantastic
@BORROVAN26 on 2nd thoughts??? what were your 1st thoughts lol
@TR1PACE5 , SO VERY TRUE, Throw in RIDE, inspiral carpets and
slowdive also.
now thats indie music none of the 2000 n 09 shit who agrees
agree :)
their debut album was hailed as the best brittish debut album of all time....made me laugh when u think of the roses debut and definately maybe, these albums were the real deal, true brittish gems.....like alex turner famously said..."dont believe the hype"
you cant beat the charlies or inspiral carpets.
the unluckiest band in history, armed robbery etc.
they managed to outlast the stone roses and the happy mondays though, fucking class tune, turn it up!
agree less anoying but keeping that rough grough guitar sound :)
suite

search "Led Zeppelin - Night Flight"
@utubedannyb what a lovely image. do be clean.
