I never understood what made a band Brit Pop, they were all so different musically. 

 

Anyone spotted drinking at the Spread Eagle, Camden.

 

Or any British "indie" band of the time with pop influences, e.g. Blur, Oasis and Pulp.  Cool Britannia, innit.

NME journalists used to love making up "scenes".

Space are great

What was/is "Britpop"? It's not a proper music genre, just a term used by lazy journalists.

John Robb out the Membranes invented it

Space and Catatonia went through a summer doing small festivals together, think it was 1998. Good nights out

Saw them playing a church around here not long ago.

I miss going to loads of concerts, really should try to make more of an effort but struggle to get into the Budapest music scene. I'm going to the Midpoint festival in Cincinnati in a couple of weeks as I happen to be there on business. Not a massive fan of american indie bands so hoping to check out some folk & bluegrass whilst I'm there

Pop music played by British bands. There was nothing pop about The Verve. Even Urban Hymns, their most commercial record, isn't Britpop. I've seen it written that Urban Hymns was actually the fail nail in Britpop's coffin.

 

My personal favourites were Shed Seven, Cast, OCS and Suede. Besides Oasis of course.

Cast.

The nail in Britpop's coffin?

 

Nah, people just stopped using the term "Britipop".

I was signed up for ages then there was a problem where I couldn't renew. I'll try again.

Most of them seemed to be signed to indie labels, or at least get their start that way, they tended to have that in common.

[Jose Jones]

Super Furry Animals were/are my favourites.

I really didn't like Blur in the Britpop years, but their post-Britpop output was pretty good.

But I reckon Pulp were probably the best of the options so I've gone for them.

Fucking despise the word 'Brit-pop' with a passion. Fucking journo created shit word.

 

Loved the 90's for music. So many quality bands both in the UK and stateside with the alternative scene over there.

 

These were my favourite:

 

 

They are still going strong as seen them live this year again and still fucking awesome.

The most negworthy comment I've seen on this site. 1 great song? You should spend less time deepthroating Liam and get into their back catalogue.

 

They play gigs every year around Christmas and I've seen every single time. They put on a great show, you should check them out.

 

This. Shed 7 were / are a thoroughly decent band.

 

Voted Blur. Used to go and see them play student union clubs in their early days, years before that bullshit competition crap with Oasis. Leisure was a fucking amazing album, only bettered by Modern Life is Rubbish.  

 

Outrageous that the thread has got this far with no mention of Shirley Manson though.

Ive seen them and yeah you are right , they have more than 1 good song. Decent band live too.

Saw Space at victorious festival last year and they were fucking boss la 

 

My south african mate Tarryn turned round after the lead singer was talking to the crowd and said she thought it was me up there as she had never heard another scouser speak. I sound nothing like him.

To be fair, the reason they've not been mentioned as they weren't British (even though she is a Scot). I tried to change the thread direction with the Stateside comment and great US alternative bands of the 90's.

 

I was at Glastonbury in 2005 at the front and saw her close up.

 

Sexy as fuck and oh those legs...
