Jesus this thread is class going to dig out Mansun and Ultrasound and might even listen to that one good My Vitriol song too.

 

[mel gibson]

I fucking loved Mansun! great band except for that last album was a bit dodgy,but the first two and the B sides,savage stuff!

My Vitriol,...they're still going!

 

[Lili Marlene]

I put on Little Kix for the first time in literally years the other week and it's aged surprisingly well. Even We are the Boys

 

[MilanPan!c]

I remember the video. Set in the baggage area of an airport....

some quick wikipedia-ing later - The Unbelieveable Truth. yeah, they were awful

For about 6 months that guy was pestering me on MySpace. From Russia.

WTF?!

Anyway, best = Boo Radleys...
Supergrass had one AMAZING record (ISC) and then each album has had only a few decent tunes. Shame.

Still, that's better than Oasis...

There isn't a bad note on In it for the Money

Would have to agree with John there, first two albums are top quality.

 

[mel gibson]

the unbelievable truth hah!

I was young and impressionable and believed that anyone from thom yorke's gene pool had to be talented

unfortunately thom got more than just the wonky eye...

 

[washingcattle]

Yeah first two Supergrass are amazing. also Super Furries. Unbelievable truth me hole were Gay Dad brit pop? they were all kinds of muck, and their singer was a music journo. Spa.

 

[Space]

Super Furries had a lot of good albums but I wouldn't lump them in with brit pop. I love the keyboard players name.

 

[washingcattle]

Is he Bunf ?

They were around that time anyway the heady days of 1996 and Fuzzy Logic couldn't be any more pop.

Ok I'll concede that one but the whole techno and psych influence still puts me off calling them britpop. Wikipedia says they were a "cut above their brit pop peers" so that's me told.

His name is Cian Ciaran.

The outro here is possibly my personal highlight of britpop. How it never made it to MOTD goal of the month theme song glory is beyond me I can always hear Motty squeeling "BERGKAAAAMP that is sensational" over it.

You're all just hating on Gay Dad because NME told you to. This song is superb, gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. I think it's gas they way everyone fixated on the fact that (gasp!) he used to be a music journalist, it's even mentioned at the start of this video.
Anyway, cracking tune.

I remember that song at the time. I remember being a bit surprised that this incredibly hyped band's biggest song barely had a chorus.

They may have been good, I don't think I ever heard anything else by them

 

[rettucs]

can someone post a link to Candy Flip's version of Strawberry Fields Forever (I have no youtube access in work).

It prompted a plethora of early-teen people to start wearing those hoodie tops with the flowery designs (like yer man wore in the video)

so other than blur, did anyone survive britpop with thier creativity intact?? i heard something by paul weller yesterday that would make a great westlife song. i do understand he predates britpop somewhat.

humm,

Supergrass - I don't know all their recent albums but they seem to do as they please

Ash - still going strong. Whether they were ever any good in the first place is a whole different issue

Mansun - didn't get good till they dropped the Britpop stuff, although they're not around any more

Super Furry Animals - they're still good I think? ask ernesto

Ocean Colour Scene - as 'creative' as they've ever been

Jarvis Cocker - has released a fair bit in recent years, Pulp never really got bad

Bluetones - still releasing albums and touring, they've an album out this year methinks

Sleeper - er, Louise Wener is a relatively successful author these days isn't she?
