Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been....?

One of the battlegrounds in the Hip Hop Wars was NME's "C86" cassette, a tape compiled by some of the paper's writers, later described as "the most indie thing to have ever existed". While many of the bands were later embarassed by it and while it suffers from the usual post-facto "OMG it wasn't a scene" backlash (sure, it wasn't a scene in the sense of bands working and collaborating together, but it captures a mood quite well), its legend lives on.

Here's a poll about it:

how few i can honestly tick. i never had a copy of the tape. i had TAPES off of a friend of some stuff here (eg HMHB), and i had tracks by a few on indie compimilations (wolfhounds, soup dragons, stump), my first gig i went to at college was STUMP. HOWEVER, i remain remarkably c86 free.
