The Best of 1994

Well, I say the best of 1994 but it's actually the best of 1994 according to me. Just to clarify. On occasion in the nineties I'd put together a compilation C90 at the end of the year of my favourite songs from whatever that particular year happened to be. I'll probably post a few of these but '94 seemed like a good place to start as it was a bit of a stonker. Suede, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Shampoo, P.J. And Duncan; none of these band made the cut. So who did? Brace yerselves (and click on any of the highlighted tracks to listen to/watch a performance of that song)...

So there you go. A bit Evening Session-heavy in places, I'll grant you, but I still stand by everything on there. Special mention must go to Panic On for actually sounding better than ever, all these years on. I've mentioned it before but I properly loved Madder Rose. Why weren't they huge? Why?!
