BLUR. I'm seeing them warm up for the closing ceremony tomorrow!

I was a teenager during the 90s and it was a great time to be female with the Riot Grrrl movement happening. I was in an all-girl band for a few years too. I can't say I really enjoy those bands any more though. Babes in Toyland, L7, Hole, Voodoo Queens were some of my favourites, but are now far too screamy for my delicate mid-thirties ears...

Some bands still stand the test of time for me though, such as -

Pixies
Pulp
Tindersticks
Jane's Addiction
Massive Attack
Ben Folds Five
Smog (not quite a band as such)
Sparklehorse
Super Furry Animals
Supergrass
Grandaddy
Radiohead

I could go on and bore you, so I'll stop there.

I recently spent an inordinate amount of time compiling a 90s 'mixtape', which brought back some great musical memories: http://8tracks.com/ladyelevator/i-the-90s

I don't remember being that into them in the actual 90s, but I am such a Gin Blossoms fangirl now! Hey Jealousy - best 90s song.

Well, one of the best. Can't pick an overall best. Hey Jealousy is way up there though.

Better Than Ezra has always been my favorite band since the 90s.
