In my opinion this is one of the greatest songs in British rock history. It’s hypnotic and magical and has aged incredibly well.

Yes we've produced a lot of global artists, some of whom I like more than others, e.g. Queen, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Elton John, The Beatles, The Stones, Eric Clapton, Oasis, David Bowie, Blur, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Coldplay.... However, we don't have Jimi Hendrix (apart from the drummer and bassist), Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Nirvana, The White Stripes, The Doors, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Leonard Skynard, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eagles etc.

[@martinobrien4164]

I was 18 when this came out. The whole Manchester music scene and dance music culture (that kind of went along with it) were so revolutionary at the time. Most young people were still driving around in their Ford Capri's, fighting getting drunk and blasting soft rock. People on my estate mainly had mullets and tight jeans. Looking like these guys was brave, even in Manchester. I remember going into a pub in baggy jeans, a flowery shirt and a shoulder length bell cut (like the keyboard player out of Inspiral Carpets) - I thought I was going to be killed.

[@craftysquirrel2958]

Damn it was good to be a kid back then. SO much good music from Madchester (Charlatans, Mondays, Roses, Inspirals, Dragons, Turtles, etc), the Scousers (La's, Farm, etc), The shoe gazers (Ride, Swervedriver, Curve, Chapterhouse, etc). Then you had Bristol smashing it (Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, etc). It was the heyday of Hip-Hop too & even dance music used to be good back then!! Who can forget Castlemorton? The 90's really were the modern 60's! Some of the best times of my life with so many anthems to transport me back in time, & I've not even mentioned Primal Scream!!!!

All you guys longing for the 90's, I feel your pain. But when I hear this, it sounds very much like the 60's music I grew up on and love so much. Someone pointed out the similarities to Deep Purple - Hush. That's exactly right. That keyboard sound, that's pure 60's. More of a basic, stripped down sound. Then the 70's happened, and everything got blow dry polished (Eagles, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, etc) But, thankfully the 90's rediscovered the 60's. and rescued us from that corporate garbage.

Actually, punk is what happened . . . which faded into all the post-punk acts of the late 70s, which bled into the New Wave of the 80s, which puts us right back here. Sure, there's a clear and heavy 60s, psychedelia influence here, but it's been rinsed thoroughly in punk's dirty water.

Hated my job at the time, but the high points were Alex Bennett with Lori Thompson in the am and LIVE 105 on the way home from work!

One of those rare songs that you love the very first time you hear it.

[@andrewludlam5686]

Bass and drum groove is so tasty it hurts.

[@GaryFountain-o2o]

2023 still awesome 😎

[@sandrine5929]

Je viens de me rappeler de ce titre. Ça me rappelle mes lointaines soirées étudiantes dans les années 90!! 😍 Ça me ramène 25 ans en arrière mais qu'est-ce qu'on kiffait à cette époque. 👌

[@Neo_Psy]

God, I miss 90's England. Listening to tunes like this as a teenager. Summers that never ended, playing out until 11:30 at night and the sun still not fully set, water fights, flirting with girls. Felt like a different world, care free and able to say whatever the hell you wanted to say.

[@bluelotus9654]

I remember those times. 90s England. Yay

[@NomenmihiLegioest]

Same here, but my experience was initially with the music of Morrissey, The Smiths, The Cure and New Order in the 80's when I was a teen and the Madchester scene in the time you describe when I was 21 and in University! We would go to a place called "The Alaskan" (Think The Hacienda in Manchester, but place it in Mexico on the border with Texas!) and dance the night away! Here in the U.S> they played pop crap, but in the club scene 5 miles south of us, we could dance the night away and celebrate the New Wave, Alt, Madchester, Acid House, Industrial scene, etc... Just as if we were in Europe! xD

[@DoctorMeatDic]

I agree with you, except for your bullshit about not being able to say what you want. Stop reading the fucking Daily Mail. Teenagers still do all that shit now.

[@Dooklawz]

oh that Manchester music scene gifted us with so much gold.... this is one of my most favorite nuggets ;)

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

For a college student, I was in the absolute PERFECT time of my life. Music like this was exploding everywhere. Dance music, Trance, House, Indie, Movie soundtracks to awesome movies... the 90's were the best time in recorded history to be alive - well, as far as music goes :)

[@littlemiss80s88]

Yes 👌

[@Itsallthesameshht]

Yep, girls and the msm didn't hate you for being born, What a time

[@katgass6349]

Agree. I was in my late 20’s, seeing amazing bands and dancing to amazing music like this.

[@chantellelitmanen7896]

i hav'nt heard this song for years and all i ca remember is happier times where did all the decent music go on youtube thank god!

[@paulross834]

Absolutely brilliant. Loved it when it first came out. I'm now 51 and it's my go to song.

[@Georges_Castaneda]

Anthem of Britpop's. Playing a solo on a bass guitar, the introduction of a drummer and followed by a guitar .... it's brilliant.

[@ruthdixon7807]

one of the all time indie greats. you hear the opening and know you've got eight seconds to get to the dancefloor.

[@mikethompson5549]

Saw them live once. Greatest live song ever...

[@pauledwards499]

Belting tune, timeless! Takes me back to the Kickers/flares days, baggy Chipie t shirt, long floppy hair, awaydays at football then a rave after, unless we'd been nicked at Liverpool for not being from there by some jobsworth twunt who probably encouraged his kids to sign on. Happy days, you had to live it to love it.

[@shammy150]

Chipie t shirt !!! My favourite top of all time along with my Joe Bloggs jeans !

[@Goku-tm4ks]

Ésta canción cumple 30 años en éste 2020... es increíble como vuela el tiempo. Si tuviera que elegir una canción para describir un año, elegiría ésta canción para 1990. Refleja a la perfección el espíritu de aquella época.

[@DEFACTO9]

I feel blessed to have this music as a backdrop to my teens life... what a blessing. teenage life... a right of passage and this song/album defines it. BEAUTIFUL. How many times this song played in a University Student dorm? Geezus.. EPIC

[@ralphlazio505]

Wow…. It’s 1989 again; I’m back on campus of Venice High School; short surf trips to the beach; skating on the board walk and listening to KROQ radio in my car; driving along with my friends… I miss my friends.

[@1gillianblair]

Such a great song!

[@brennanmurazik7290]

One of those rare songs that you love the very first time you hear it. they don't make music like this any more

[@casperoomen9111]

It got the hooks man! Addictive

[@jeenbootsma1632]

One of the best songs of the 90, people should play it more!!!!!(and loud)

[@peterbird2918]

Then you should listen to absolute radio the best station in the 🇬🇧

[@paul-ht7fq]

IMO this song represents 1990

[@olav5166]

This is such a freakin' gem. Incredible.

[@edf9577]

I'll never grow tired of this. Sums up a time, place and a feeling ❤❤❤

[@graemeadamson7272]

Definitely my defining tune of this unforgettable music era . Cannot say enough how much this means to me 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎

[@bostrickland4970]

Sooo true

[@d4ydr33m3r]

I feel you .. This is my one..

[@tinymacmurph]

My favourite bass line of all time, best played loud!

[@andreinasalinas1792]

El manchester de los 90 el unico lugar donde quisiera estar

[@sandygilmour5444]

This song is so good. Heard it on radio 2 and brought back all the 90s bands. Stone Roses, The Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans - magic times great tunes

[@kiralouise4001]

Listening to 90s indie while self isolating.. 🙌🙌...

[@oscoe]

Yeah baby! Massive boost today from these beauties.....

[@lewiscollins1045]

only just 90's..

[@indie0025]

Not is indie

[@xochitl9161]

I haven"t heard this song in years !! Great memories...

[@aladajane]

Same x

[@22wall]

So much musical talent in this song!

[@brunomichaels9497]

One of the original dance indie tracks. It doesn't get much better than this. Toptastic!!

[@GLA_Rangers_93]

RIP Gorgeous GORDON BURLEY, Sad News passed away at 40 recently. Great film, love it watched it for years!

[@priscilaoliveira8327]

Saudades desta época gloriosa em que os sons eram perfeitos .

[@mjrydsfast]

Saudades esse e Rio, Moto GP @ Jacarepaguá e e Praia de Leblon.

[@fabiosmiths0673]

momento sublime com grandes bandas Ride,Slowdive, The Verve,My Bloody Valentine entre outras.

[@graemeadamson7272]

For me, without doubt, THE defining tune that kicked off my love affair with indie music. Pure pure brilliance

[@jorjicostava6657]

The perfect synthesis of 60s, 70s and 80s British music.

[@johnbuss6926]

So glad I had my golden year's from 79 through to this area..26 when the Manchester scene hit us..such a magical time and never to be repeated..feel sorry for the youngsters today...

[@Remhoffhooha]

I remember the bouncing dancefloor in Manchester Ritz on alternative Monday night vibrating like a bastard when that deafening bass guitar solo break comes in. Just when you think it ain't gonna get any better the drums kick in and then that guitar solo take the atmosphere through the roof!!!

[@jenniferrucker2266]

The song reminds me of “Hush” by Deep Purple in 1968

[@Sundae_Times]

To be fair, though, DP can't complain, as their version was a cover version anyway. The original was by Billy Joe Royal.

[@DebraNormand]

This is The Charlatans I love. I never got into their later music; it never sounded like this kicky, cool tune. It's a wanna feel good song that I listen to over and over every morning getting ready for work.

[@AlexSilva-pg4jy]

Es increible que con solo escuchar esta cancion puedo recordar exactamente donde estaba y que andaba haciendo en esos hermosos 90s......y que andaba haciendo??...puro webeando...viviendo la vida adolescente en Santiago de Chile...Britpop lo mejor🇬🇧

[@stephenpowell5912]

Loved my Teenage years growing up in the 1990s such a great time for me 46 now feel like 17 again 😀😁😂😃😄

[@ryanw2774]

Me too Stephen.. I wish I could get back to that time. I remember driving around to nowhere playing this song and feeling so free

[@CrawfordGrimaldi]

I am only 29 but I remember these tunes well from my old man playing them daily, My kids now love this music it shall live on and on.

[@AlextheMLAATRfan]

You have it better than me, I was born in 2001.

[@nielhunter2605]

Smokey pubs with good drink and great music,back in the day!!!

[@barrykhan6150]

EXTRA monies bowl cut batty boys

[@desertrose1226]

Before the SNOWFLAKES took over and Ed Sheerarse dominated the charts!!

[@karlanadia2012]

This is TIMELESS and PRICELESS!!!! MY fave band EVER?!!!

[@mishatomskovich7103]

Only saw them once...Spike Island... few memories as started too early on the ale....a

[@steveshields5018]
