Best/Worst Britpop era bands (2 Viewers)

[Sufi]

Which Britpop band are you?

You are Elastica. You like to keep yourself busy. You dont crave attention or money. You do what you want and dont care what anyone thinks of you. Youre spiky, tough and energetic.


Its like they looked into my very soul...

 

[Stan Bowles]

I've had the bluetones going round in my head for the lasst two hours cos of this thread.

 

[aoboa]

elastica are one of the better ones even if their best song was a rip off of Wire

Yeah - I still listen to their first album a lot. I know they ripped of a fair few songs but at least they were good ones

Blur and Supergrass are the only other two that were really good.
Oasis - love or loath - had their moments too.

Best thing about 1995 - being 14 and being allowed to go to Feile in cork with my 16 year old cousin and no adults.
Worst thing about 1995 - Feile being almost exclusively Britpop bands.

I hate england.

1998 was a strange year for British Music.

"You are Blur"

That was degrading.

Here - anyone remember the name of Thom Yorkes little bros band - they had like one decent tune - played the TBMC (i think) in the mid 90's. Fuck they were dire!

Unbelievable Truth. I have their autographs! Higher Than Reason was that one good tune they had. Otherwise, poor.

I hate england.

Brits out


Best: Fuck all. I was listening to Pantera 1992-1997, I don't understand what the rest of yee were at.
I bought Supergrass' In It For The Money, if that means anything.

Worst: Ocean Colour Scene. They played Ballinasloe ffs.
Oasis.
Kula Shaker, I remember watching those video's and thinking "Why?"
Cast. Just......Cast. I insult people now by calling them Cast.

And everything else.

Ahhh you legend!!!!

The Seahorses - apart from Love is the Law which i quite dug at the time - they deserved to be shot.

I think The Raconteurs sound a lot like the Seahorses

 

[Lili Marlene]

Best: Fuck all. I was listening to Pantera 1992-1997, I don't understand what the rest of yee were at.

So you went from Pantera to The Unbelieveable Truth?

jesus christ.

 

[Corey]

Best: Bluetones/Supergrass

Worst: Those three fucks in the flying VW van staying out for the summer. Yeah, those cunts.

If my memory serves me correctly the NME/MM created yet another ridiculous sub-genre around 96/97/98, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. They had constant features and intervews with Symposium, Theaudience, 3 colors red, Ultrasound, and maybe Idlewild. Anyone remember what this genre was called? Or is my memory fooling me?

Did anyone else love the Warchild/Help cd back in the day?

 

[RSJ]

Unbelievable Truth. I have their autographs!

You are dead to me.

[Jerry Twig]

This thread should be called 'best/worst bands from England during 1994-96'.

eh, carcass and leatherface

hey, I is John, is you're really 22 then you'd barely even remember Britpop. What gives?

 

[Phil_Insane]

Yeah i think it was called Britrock, i was trying to think of the name of that band "Ultrasound" jesus they were rubbish, and the lead singer he was a right fat bloke and a bit of a gay if the memory serves me.

 

[krossie]

I suppose ALL OF THEM hardly counts as there would be no basis for comparision

pity though!

New Grave??

I used to drink in the good mixer every Friday. They had Daydream Nation on the jukebox.

Unfortunately for me I got into music around the end of 1995 just as Britpop was going stale. The first single I ever bought was Charmless Man by Blur.

So I remember all the post-britpop bands (theaudience/rialto/ultrasound/ and 'bratpop' bands like Stony Sleep) only too well.

jesus christ.

One song man, ONE song!

You are dead to me.

Can I still haunt you?

did you ever see Johnny Dean from Menswear?

 

[Stan Bowles]

did you ever see Johnny Dean from Menswear?

Every Friday. I don't think him and Chris Gentry ever left.

However the member of menswe@r I saw the most was the drummer. There was a period during the summer of 96 when everywhere I went he seemed to be there. Every pub, every gig, every time I went to the heavenly social. I even remember turning round at tribal gathering and there he was. I had to get a restraining order in the end.
