When I first heard it I thought it was alright, but now it just causes me to burst out into fits of rage. I utterly despise it, I want to throttle the lead singer with my hands to stop his godawful monotonus voice. I should really turn off the music in Fifa.

As for this Oasis debate; piss off you damn ruffians!

Ooooh, I see your calmed Blur song and I counteract with this cheeky bit.

I actually agree. I was just afraid that jumping straight to Parklife would be too cliched. Or perhaps if the Oasis scallywags decided to weigh in and suggest that those two Manc numpties are better than Blur I'd have enough ammo to go nuclear against them. Parklife is the best Britpop song ever made, end of story!

Blur and Oasis are both extremely good. That is all.

Yeah I can't stand the rest of their stuff, but that one was decent enough.

Blur and Oasis were the best bands from the 1990s. Full stop, new paragraph.

East Londoner wrote:Blur and Oasis were the best bands from the 1990s. Full stop, new paragraph.

Disagree 100%. They were wrapped up in their own little genre fighting against each other. Britpop failed to evolve, so it died. Just like those two bands did. The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method have adapted, trailblazed a path for other artists to follow and after two decades are still going strong.

I agree kostas, I've been going through my old student radio tapes from the early-mid 90s and found a chart tape from 1996. God almighty, it was full of ****-poor guitar bands doing horribly dirgy songs.

I quite liked Blur though they got irritating, and I always found Oasis incredibly over-rated. Basically, I can only really stand the songs that Noel sings, plus Wonderwall. I cannot stand Liam's voice on everything else.

Posted: **04 Oct 2012, 19:18**

But this came out in 1996.

Posted: **04 Oct 2012, 19:39**

Actually, I didn't mind OCS - though I'm not that keen on that one, partly because it makes me think of Chris Evans (also, to me, mystifyingly popular from the mid-90s)

I bought their first album which came out in around 1992 - not that anyone else did! They sounded totally different then.

Im proud of OCS. As far as I know, the only Brummie Britpop band.

This is my house. It is full of Scottish pirates who like to drink all my whisky, sail through the Caribbean and capture F1RMGP reporters.

Probably all those bottles in the shelf are just decoration. Not that I'm denying dinizintheoven and his companions wouldn't have been drinking a lot too much

Needs more beer bottles

All those beer bottles are the result of a long collection - some of them are 11 years old. Regardless of what some may think, I'm not a big drinker, I prefer to enjoy what I'm drinking and not get ratarsed on nasty lager every night of my life. And when one of those Scottish pirates says "I'm an alcoholic and I like to get drunk!" on stage, in reality they're not the hellraisers that their image implies. They were incredibly well behaved.

I have a lot less Old Pulteney than I did before they arrived, though. Even Stijn, the tour manager, had a shot - when he'd been all "xIx xAMx xSTRAIGHTEDGEx xFORx xLIFEx" until about three days before.

Gangnam Style is starting to get old for me (obviously because I have listened to it a lot during the last couple of months). I actually prefer PSY's earlier song "Right Now". It's really awesome although the video is not as funny as the one for Gangnam Style.

As for the Oasis discussion, I would say that "Don't Look Back in Anger" is by far their best song. That and "Disco 2000" by Pulp as well as "Monday Morning 5:19" by Rialto are my favorite Britpop songs.

Say what you want about Pete Doherty, but the Libertines were pretty damn brilliant. It's hard to believe it's been a decade since their debut came out.

Here is the title track from said album. Enjoy.

The Prodigy // Your Love (Original Mix)

Experience was a completely different type of sound to everything The Prodigy did afterwards. Said album was their first ever album, in case you didn't know. However, some of it was still rather good even though everything since was radically different. Such as this one.

Future Sound of London // Papua New Guinea

It's really weird hearing that without Galvão Bueno shouting like a madman over it the entire time.

When I first tried Suede all of two and a half years ago, I didn't like them at all. Something about Brett Anderson's voice turned me right off them. Nowadays, I can't stop listening to them. Bernard Butler is a seriously brilliant guitarist. If only he hadn't left the band after their second album, who knows how big they may have been

Oh, and this. This went top 3 back in 1994. Nowadays, a song like this wouldn't get anywhere near the top 50.

Doves, the best Manchester pop band since the eighties. A pity they're not as hyped as others, because they're 1000 times more creative and their productions are a 1000 times brighter than most of the bands you talk about here.

What music video isn't complete without a milk carton in it? :lol:

To keep a tenuous link with the Britpop theme, here's a Damon Albarn side project: Hey Shooter - Rocketjuice & The Moon
And now for some other things:
Fly Trapped In A Jar - Modest Mouse
There's No Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake - Biffy Clyro
Aneurysm - Nirvana

If you had been LellaLombardi, Sunshine_Baby_[IT], Waris or 14 Hundred Hours, then maybe. But alas, I don't swing that way. Sorry for letting you down like that, Phoenix.

Having heard this on the radio at work recently, it's reminded me of hearing it when I was a kid when it was first out. Absolute Radio 90s is a station I feel many people on here might quite enjoy! :lol:
