All of mine gone now. Whatever about the rest, I'm genuinely shocked that Radiohead didn't make the semis.

They gone, shouldn’t beat rem

REM - the best of the four acts here imo. Not a fan of all their stuff but they had some wonderful songs in the 90's.

Nirvana - not my favourite band but still prefer them to Green Day overall.

I'm surprised they made it that far tbh.

REM ; they're the best band left

Green Day ; just an attempt to keep things interesting

Irish Aris

REM - Out of Time and Automatic For The People are 2 of my favourite 90's album
Nirvana - Not a big fan of either, Nirvana edges it for Kurt Cobain.

Blur - More relateable.

Greenday - Nirvana cant win best 90's song and best 90's band (spoiler, they will)

Think you've miscounted the Green Day vs Nirvana match.

I make it 9-6 to Green Day after Strawb's vote...

This is the semis and green Day made it. Awful. In that case Blur and Nirvana

I actually prefer mid-late 90's REM to early 90's REM.

Losing My Religion is grand but I could take or leave it. Man on the Moon never did much for me. I always thought Everybody Hurts was a bit maudlin and overwrought, and The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite is just annoying. And then there's Shiny Happy People......ok, I actually do unironically like that one!

Compared to those, I prefer the likes of What's The Frequency Kenneth?, Strange Currencies, E-Bow the Letter, Electrolite, Daysleeper, At My Most Beautiful, Lotus, Walk Unafraid, The Great Beyond (just about still a 90's track).....shít, even just listing all these makes me realise that REM are a band I like a lot more than I thought I did!

Green day as I likes colours

Rem as I like dreams
