Always and forever, thank you to 4AD, Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Lush and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

It’s kind of sad to see what the most popular music in Britain is nowadays. I have no problem with grime and stuff like that but it sucks to know that barely any English teenagers are growing up experimenting with genres like shoegaze or classic rock...

[@deancj1]

Such a fertile time for music. The diversity of bands and originality was unparalleled.

[@yaddahaysmarmalite4059]

it was a reaction to mainstream 80s pop music. when you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. and so, many shoegaze bands did just that. they used their meager means to acheive great sounds.

If you saw Lush in concert back in 1992, you know one of the highlights was when they would segue immediately from "Covert" to "De-Luxe". Goosebumps.

This is the song that helped me get good at Expertise mode on RB2, using the guitar.

[@PeasGraveny]

Emma's songwriting genius on full view here. The 1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6 rhythm is irresistable. The tune is fantastic (as always) and the lyrics are perfect. My favourite lines - 'Happy coursing through my veins, Don't even know my name'' 'No birds in sight, I fear, Stick sticks in you my dear' 'When we're wrapped in polythene, what's that supposed to mean?'

[@ValorBroccoli]

My late friend played this during a mushroom trip he and I took together and it forever will be a favorite and an absolute haunting track to me. The melody is glued to my psyche, in a sad yet undeniably beautiful way...

[@Zippy994]

I've always loved this song. One of my favorites from that era. Just those three chords alone repeating on the fadeout is amazing.

[@spaceengineer1452]

How’s your hearing ?

[@chrishughes1103]

I could not love this track MORE

[@alukuhito]

There's something about Lush that just hurts me. I think it has to do with being about the same age as them, and the feeling in the early 90s of the world being full of opportunities. Alternative music, our music, was becoming THE music. The idea of having a little band, gigging and getting known, eventually being played on the radio and people buying your albums and singles. But it's all gone. This band faded away after their drummer killed himself. This band was really one of my favourites in a time of good music everywhere. Who knows Lush now? Basically just the people that listened to them then. I guess it's just that sense of everything being perishable. Everything that exists will one day not exist anymore.

[@michaelcandido2824]

i saw them in 2016 when they did a reunion. that was the last of lush.

[@rickydep]

Deep! Now I understand how older people feel when they talk fondly about music of their youth. That music was new, original, inspiring. Today, it's forgotten.

[@raymondjacobs1847]

Truth

[@towardstheflame]

But once in a while new people stumble upon forgotten music. Me and a couple of friends became massive lush fans back in like 2009 in sweden. I dont even remember how that happened. And now 2009 is long gone...

[@toddfh]

I agree completely about the ecstasy vibe. Felt it back in the day and it's wonderful to hear it still has that effect on someone else today. It's a kind of alchemy the band achieved in some of their pieces/songs. It helped Robin Guthrie was involved.
