My Britpop years
 

It wasn't all green fields, round here:

Blur (blah blah, I still like them)

Oasis (Initial enthusiasm faded fast)

Penthouse (Never listened to the actual records , but I bought them)

Meanswear (One song)

Sleeper ( Two songs)

Kula Shaker (One song)

Out Of My Hair (one song)

Northern Uproar ( Don't remember)

Elastica (one album and one song)

Echobelly (None, all rubbish)

Ocean Colour Scene (None, just got tricked into them while the Dadrock term wasn't in exsistence)

The Dandys (One song, I don't even know the other ones)

Plastic Fantastic (Abducted by Romo aliens)

Dexter ( See above)


The list goes on.......

I can't get past the two songs on Blur, Oasis I still put them on occasionally.

I can remember like two oasis songs, but still I sort of have a strong dislike for them. Foockin' lads...

I'm sure that list is missing these animal men who later became the awesome Mo' Solid Gold who had one of the most astonishing discrepancies between awesomeness of live show and shitness of records.

NO! Britpop ruined shoegaze

All shite.

well, except for Blur's eponymous album.

Well said... Well Said...

Pulp?

All shite.

They're great aren't they!

Glad you're enjoyng them.

More bands that i used to like:

Geneva ( castrated male vocalist)

Baby Bird (lo-fi wankery)

60 Foot Dolls ( I only remember one of their tunes)

Heavy Stereo ( fucking hell)

Happy Shopper perchance?

That's the one.

I sort of liked most of the Britpop bands for a short while. Pulp are probably the only ones whose albums I can still enjoy listening to now, though.

I think I am glad I have heard of only 3 of these bands.

thank god for the atlantic ocean

the Verve (just another junkie from Wigan)

I liked the occasional tunes of some bands here and there, but the fact that I don't own any albums of bands mentioned in this thread (or of any other "britpop" band) should speak for itself.

was it just that after siouxsie, the cure, the skiths, happy mondays, joy division, etc etc etc, why did it take british bands so long to start ROCKING ?

I mean, electrelane "rocks" but not really you know?

can you name me some british bands that are recent that ROCK? cuz I like to

Babyshambles:)

hahhah That's the one with the wan junkie that you brits have been going on about for a year or so right?
