Boooooring. Pulp, jah help them, are even more tedious.

I don't have much use for Blur beyond Song #2. Obviously, you don't understand Pulp.

I understand that their music is awful and that they've been hanging around since 1978 waiting for a genre vague and bland enough for them to fit into. Britpop is a perfect fit.

Being so wrong about everything must be exhausting.

Are you a fan of British humour? I'm not saying they are the funniest things to come out the UK, but I like their movies. Can't wait to see this one. I tried watching Spaced and couldn't get into it though.

for the most part, no. maybe that explains it. they seem to be going for broader type of comedy appeal though.

This is exactly why "Britpop" is load of bullshit. Bands like Lush and Ride suddenly stopped being whatever they were before Britpop existed and got lumped into this made up genre just so the dickwad UK music press could keep repping them. Britpop can suck my dick.

How old are you then? That was almost 100 years ago, pal.

As a genre and especially as a movement, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that I like some of the records that came out of that time period, etc.

Just because it came out in the mid/late '90s doesn't make it Britpop. I challenge any of you to tell me exactly what makes a band Britpop.

I think Cocker is a pretty clever writer as well as a huge Scott Walker admirer. Which in my book, speaks volumes. Also dig early Ride, Lush, Primal Scream, MBV. I'd say I like a bunch of britpop & shoe gazer-stuff.

Love Ride and Swervedriver. Happy Mondays are boring

But I prefer Liam's singing Oasis songs in Beady Eye (not that BE puts out good albums, just has better musicians joining Liam). Noel's Flying Birds is way too Coldplay-ish for me.
And there are definitely 70's Glam-influences in Oasis, for sure. I seriously don't think Oasis (1st 2 albums + a few b-sides) shouldn't be written off that easily.

version sound wrote:Define "best shoegaze" remembering that MBV are not shoegaze, they just influenced it a lot, and that Swervedriver were initially lumped in with that scene, but pretty much only circa Raise. Even if you include those two bands, I think that record is better than any of theirs. It absolutley holds up better than the S/T Stone Roses record too, and I say that as someone who totally loves the Stone Roses. I'll take The Smiths, The Sundays, JAMC, The Primitives, The Wedding Present, and House of Love over any of that stuff.
