Anyway, late 80s/early 90s house music is about as bad as it gets.

House, hip hop, acid house and the emerging music referred to as Oldskool Hardcore is about as good as it got within that time period.

'The emerging music referred to as Oldskool Hardcore'...

Back then, we called it 'Hardcore'. c

There was some great music then, and some true pioneers. My point was just that House is not where the good stuff was happening.

This is the sorta thing I was listening to in in the late 80s & early 90s...

Nirvana - Negative Creep

Napalm Death - You Suffer

Bomb Disneyland - Suicide 999

Soundgarden - Sub Pop Rock City

Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick

Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

Marillion - Sugar Mice

Gary Moore - Empty Rooms

Peral Jam - Jeremy

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box

Hawkwind - Neon Skyline

Blue Oyster Cult - The Siege and Investiture at Baron von Frankenstein's Castle in Weissera

I did get into ravey stuff a wee bit later (LFO, Orb, etc) cos Hawkwind went a bit electronic and it opened my mind to other stuff a little.

Ok, Tony, just for you, some of the hilghlights of that era - not that nasty stuff you've been listening to.

First, Omni Trio (actually one bloke), who (IMHO) basically invented that drum and bass you youngsters listen to these days. This is probably his best known tune, which is fairly straightforward hardcore with some funny stuff on the offbeat, which was kind of the genesis of drum and bass.

This is the next step (you have to let it play a bit)

Pretty obvious where all that exciting music the kids like came from.

Next, Orbital, who are still going strong today. This was their first well-known release. One of them had to take a day of work at Wimpy to appear on Top of the Pops.

By 93, they were producing what is still probably the best electronic music that Britain has ever had

Now, you probably know Primal Scream and know about Screamadelica, which is kind of legendary.

Most of the music on that album was from one of the great producers of the time, Andrew Weatherall. Here's some more of his work:

Another lot still going are Coldcut. They were started off doing the music for (amongst others), Yazz, and this 80s genius.

and by the mid 90s, were producing classics like this

Anyway, I'm getting bored of this now but for dance music look at people like Mickey Finn, Aphrodite, Peshay, Hype, Randall, Andy C, Kenny Ken etc etc, most of whom are still going. As said above, the more mainstream housy stuff was from the Ibiza lot - Digweed, Danny Rampling etc.

For more 'proper' music, the Stone Roses is the obvious must-have album of that era.

Rustinho just reminded me (somehow) about Ozric Tentacles. They were amazing when you were off your face

wait till 1.45 when it kicks off

Also remember a lot of this era's best tracks being on Guerilla Records.

Most of the early hardcore i've got is on dodgy mix cassettes, and I don't even own a tape player anymore!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Just annoying white noise to me!

Thanks Sanch! Majority I knew of already but some new tracks I had not heard in there. MARS is a great track.
Reminded me of another track:

I used to be really into the hardcore side of that. I liked Jungle a lot as well although there is a point where it began forming into DnB and I'm not too keen on that. Although liquid DnB is pretty good.

My favorite Hardcore artist is Nookie. Here are some of his tracks

Also went under the name Cloud 9:
