This is still savage. I'm even too old for Nu metal but i always agreed with their concept of doubling the size of the metal band and having an absolute genius for a drummer.

Songs you used to not like, but in hindsight realise they're very good.
Stacy's Mom by The Fountains of Wayne.
In fairness they have much better songs but I love them now so I have re evaluated Stacey's Mom and it's really good.

OK, I skipped around a bit but I still think there's some lovely tracks on that thing like Caramel and Trimm Tabb. So I failed to be embarrassing in hindsight on that specific task.
There was a Norwegian guy, Thomas Dybdahl who wrote a song that absolutely broke my heart at the time. I'll see if I can wreck that in hindsight.
edit
Yeah, maybe not quite as crushing in hindsight. But I still think that's a pretty song.
I'll keep digging.

It’s still not as bad as his Tainted Love cover.
Blur have some shocking shite but Girls and Boys still kinda holds up at least live and their show earlier in the Summer was as good as any I remember from their heyday.
I always liked Slipknot but haven't listened to them in years, a few of their songs were incredible sounding, like Eyeless.
When I hear Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit now, I'm surprised at how good they sound.

Nearly all popular rock music aimed at 14-15 year olds from the last few decades is dire.
Particularly true of California pop punk, Brit pop, emo, nu metal and the mid 90s commercialisation of rap era onwards.

I rarely look back on a song I loved and dislike it. It's a sense of misplaced loyalty or something. The only thing I can think of that's slightly embarrassing is Ministry, when I see pics of the man now, but psalm 69 is still pretty damn good
Great thread title BTW! As for blur, while never a fan I think the whole parklife thing was more of an artistic package with the video the Keith Allen thing(making them out to be more working class than they are maybe) and celebrating the whole being English thing, which may have given rise to the term 'britpop'*

In fairness, 90% of everything is crap
Ah the doors…
‘Waiting for the sun’ was a hugely important part of a significant spring and summer.
Listened to it a few years back for the first time in over a decade and it’s pretty boring

It's a lot more than 90%.
Early Duran or Adam Ant or Madness or Human League or Motorhead or Grandmaster Flash were cool.
But I was slightly too young for that era.
Oasis, Green Day, Linkin Park or Jay Z are about my age and they never really meant anything or influenced anyone worthwhile.
Classic Thumped
Country House was on a couple of nights ago. And this is it. They set out to write an annoying big poppy "britpop" song, and they did. With the context it's a very good pop hit. Without the context is an annoying pop hit.
Charmless Man has aged well though.
