These guys took the best bits of noisy American alt. rock and the Creation sound and put them together. Such a great fucking band. Their reunion stuff is real good too. Not Suede reunion-tier, but real good.
These threads predate your meme threads by like a year. Fuck outta here.

Darklands is the apex of Western civilization. This is what it's all been leading up to and it's all downhill from here. It actually hurts how fucking pure this album is.
The combination of R.E.M.'s Green tour and The Cure playing the VMA's in 1989 has to be the moment alternative rock broke. It was from that point onwards that you started hearing this sort of shit on normal radio as opposed to just college radio.
I never listened to the original before i always knew the Moby cover

The Moby cover is great and it was how I got into MoB in the first place. Animal Rights is an und Catherine Wheel also did a cover of Revolver. Pretty good, but I prefer Moby's.
