The 1979 single was released in 1996, but the song was initially available on the album, which came out in 1995..

1995D*Note-"Iniquity Worker" Ooh, I quite like that, never heard it before. I love a bit of proper rasta'd up jungle, but drum n' bass was all polite and accessible for accountants and people in cardigans. This is somewhere between the two. You got much else in this vein? Afraid not....I've never even listened to the album that this is from, it may all be great. At the time though, it was such a refreshing change compared to the 'tasteful' likes of Roni Size etc .

Another 'fuck it, I'm going for it' selection.
And yes, I realize that this is some quirky literate southern singer/songwriter rather than some generation-defining pop readymade, but as I've said before, this is a lot closer to what the 90s were actually like for me. I wasn't listening to the radio, I wasn't going to stadium or even small hall shows - I was hanging out in small clubs, usually to see friends. Occasionally I'd run into an artist like this who had a self-contained world that drew me to it. (Although I must confess, while I get why this isn't universally loved or even known about, it does completely bewilder me that Los Lobos aren't as universally loved and praised as, say, the Pixies.)
Not much to say about this other than it hits my pleasure center pretty directly- the twists and turns in the melody, the phrasing and interior rhyme, the lack of linear storyline...pretty much everything songwriting should be about if it's not going to be anthemic. And 'quirky self-contained world' seems like an easier and better target to me anyway, considering 'anthemic' in the 90s meant a lot of dumb jocks growling in front of regurgitated Zeppelin licks.
Anyway...
1995: Vic Chesnutt - Strange Language

But this was my favourite drum and bass track of 1995, I liked it when it got jazzy and ambient (so probably not your thing!).

We wear our cardigans cut from different cloth, G. I mean, I'll always like a bit of drum n bass, amen breaks and bass drops are always cool. But it just doesn't get the blood pumping. For what it's worth, this is probably my favourite bit of junglism. It has that energy and rawness which really appeals:

But some bands still produce one golden moment that cuts through. I have a lot of time for the bands early stuff but 1979 is their greatest moment. It creates such a tangible air of wistful nostalgia that the pangs it conjures hit quite deep. There's a lightness of touch to it as well. It skips, floats and ascends. The video too captures the magic of youth. What Townshend called being "magically bored". Kids driving around and stopping at a 7-11 for drinks and snacks, goofing off, just hanging around etc.

1994: Soundgarden - 'Spoonman' The song blew me away when i first heard it/saw the film clip. Not the biggest hit from the album (most of you would know what that is), but it still blows me away with its directness and power. The percussion and spoon breakdown and the crunch of the guitars as they head into the outro is just a glorious piece of noise.

One for DF! (starts at 0.40) I love that episode, Fintan Stack is one of my heroes. Dougie in Irish priest form with superior music taste. Cutty Ranks' lyrically unpleasant "Limb By Limb", btw, is the track there.
