Boo Radleys
Did anyone else dig these guys in the 90's? I was listening to the latest Doves disc and there's a song on it that strongly reminds me of the Boo Radleys. Underlooked band. "Everything's Alright Forever" is my fave with the tiny song "Sparrow" being one of the most gorgeous and interesting songs I've ever heard. Sometimes I felt they were trying too hard to be clever, but when it clicked, it clicked in a big way.

"giant steps" and "wake up!" still sound great. The Boo Radleys, Swervedriver, Ride, Curve and other creation records/dreampop bands... that scene doesn't get enough credit. IMO, it produced better, more innovative music than the grunge stuff happening here in the US at that time.
If you like the Boo Radleys, buy:
My Bloody Valentine: "Loveless", "Isn't Anything" and the EPs (if you can find them)
Swervedriver: "Mezcal Head" and "Ejection Seat Reservation"
Ride: "Nowhere" and "Going Blank Again"
Curve: "Doppleganger"
Chapterhouse: "Whirlpool"
Loop: "A Guilded Eternity"
Spacemen 3: "Playing With Fire"
...they're all great albums.

Yep, big fan of 'em. Not surprisingly I seem to be posting in the same threads as atlantamoi and Hiro11 a lot...

I was really into these guys as well. "Wake Up" is a such a fun uplifting song that you can rock out to.
They broke up, didn't they?
Hiro11- if you like My Bloody Valentine and Ride check out Lush and Slowdive. Two grossly overlooked acts of the 90s.
