. I have a lot of admiration for those who have had some success in a very tough industry.

I remember my dad having the grown up 90's equivelant, one of these beauties!

Got one of those, too! Battery's knackered, though. Also, the soft-touch case feels "sticky". As if the rubberised case is falling apart with age?

Ahhh.. the 90s - I seem to remember spending an inordinate amount of energy sniffing around girls like this:



Ten 1990's Man points to anyone who can name the band with out tracing back the link or googling the Sir George Robey - Saturday 07 July 1990.

It gave us the Nike Air Jordan V, and all other trainers have been sh*te since;

At school I remember it was all about the Reebok Pump trainers for a while, well that or the Nike Air Max... and pity for the kids with Hi-Tecs!

Happened upon an ad in Q magazine for a guitarist

I bought a lot of magazines in the '90s - Q, Select, Vox, Melody Maker, NME, also the era of FHM, Loaded etc!

PJ Harvey at the Shepherd's Bush Empire March 11th 1995.

A night that I'll never forget, after that gig met somebody who well and truly messed my head up.



Also Jah Shaka at The Rocket: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PONu4SkzeE

Making you're kids wear Hi Tec Silver Shadow was an act of child cruelty.

The Reebok Pump was a funny old thing; too big (unless you went for the instapump running shoe) and at that size I'd be in Patrick Ewings. And a "Naf Naf" body warmer down gillet. Cap pulled low, not at some jaunty angle preferred by the "yoof" of today.

Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy Slim, they were all top of their game for the dance sscene (commercially and otherwise)

Not forgetting The Prodigy being brilliant in the 90'sI played that CD to death!!

Edited by bexVN on Thursday 10th April 13:12

Absolutely, all of those listed were brilliant, plus I'd add Basement Jaxx to and Armand Van Heldon

Prodigy Fat of the Land album - I bought it on cassette the day it was released. I proceeded to play it that much that I ended up buying the CD after. Since then I have probably bought another two copies of the album to replace scratched/damaged over used copies.

That and Fat boy slim, You've come a long way baby are still two of my most favourite albums.

Also on the music front, Ministry of Sound annuals from 1995>99 - when they were actually mixed by Pete Tong!

It you had Reebok Blacktop Hexalite Pumps you were pretty much god like!

Great thread! I was 8 when the 90s started (well as of 2nd Jan!) so did a huge amount of growing up in the decade. I don't think there are too many things I remember not already mentioned.

Agreed.

I discovered a lot of new music listening to his shows, pointlessly driving around in the evenings.

Very tight fitting Destroy t-shirts with the airtex back panel. Or, failing that, global hypercolour ones that changed colour in the sun.
