A couple come to mind...
The various artists album from The Saint was full of some pretty great songs / electronica / trip-hop, like this old standard...
Another one, that only ever reminds me of sitting around in the house in winter, early teenage years. I mean yeah, they're passe now but shit, this album was pretty fucking great for when it was.
Another necessary bit, one of those bands that "you" discovered, no one knew or remembers and you hold it close to you forever as your own...
They also did a bitchin Beastie Boys cover...
The Clouds. An Australian band I found by accident when my uncle handed me a bunch of alt-rock albums from a radio station that closed down...
Ednaswap. The greatest 90s band that went nowhere. They did three albums, then a fourth as another band name and barely got any airplay. Their song "Torn" got beat to death by Natalie InBruges or whatever her name was. Lead singer Annie Previn later on got an Oscar nomination for best song for Dreamgirls.
Green Apple Quick Step was on a couple of Various Artists albums in the 90s and then disappeared. Reloaded was a fantastic album.
I never much got into Blur but this cut off of Trainspotting got a lot of play when I was a teen. I love how it cribs so heavily from Buffalo Springfield in terms of tone but its still something entirely different...
