Best Of The Big Brit-Pop Bands

[Total Longo]

It's Blur all day long. 

[Remmie]

Suede were bigger than OCS? Not sure I agree with that

I think they were. Especially amongst the cool kids.

[Strontium]

Suede had more hits, definitely. They also weren't shit, which is the major difference.

[Mook]

A quick Google tells me that Suede had three No.1 albums whereas Ocean Colour Scene had one, on that basis I think Suede are certainly the 'bigger' group.

 

Plus Ocean Colour Scene should be wiped from musical memory due to that fucking 'Day we caught the Train' atrocity.

[El Rojo]

Suede were a great band in the Bernard Butler years of the first two albums. He was an outrageously good guitarist.

 

Ocean Colour Scene were hilarious, but I don't think that was their intention.

But, but, but did Suede have any of their songs that introduced such a legendary show like TGI Friday?

 

That constitutes a OCS win for me in my book.

Have I ever mentioned when I was on TFI....

I can only name 2 Suede songs, I would have them on an equal pegging with Shed Seven and Supergrass

[Jenson]

I was much more into the indie bands of the early 90's - The Wonder Stuff, Jesus Jones, Carter USM, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Kingmaker, Half Man Half Biscuit. Some cracking gigs I went to around that time.

I'm struggling after Animal Nitrate.

Trash was pretty ubiquitous in 1996, as was Beautiful Ones.

[clarkie]

Supergrass.

[Strontium]

I could name seven Suede songs off Coming Up alone, and that's without listening to it in about a decade.

[The Golden Eel]

What the fuck has happened in here? I always knew Remmie was a wrong un from the bean threads but I didn't realise he was this depraved. 

[Tony Moanero]

I couldn't name a single Suede song, as I've never knowingly listened to any of their music. I voted for Pulp, but mostly for the hell of it, as I'm pretty certain I've only ever heard two of their songs - Disco 2000 and Common People.

Seen the first three bands you mentioned there last year (well for Carter it was just a Jim Bob acoustic set but still).

[Raymond Duck]

I answered Suede. They are still releasing albums that our as good as the first ones even now.

 

The most recent album is brilliant and they still kickass live.

 

I think any off them are worthy of win really. It was a close call between them and Pulp for me. We Love Life is massively under-rated, get on it.

The Wonder Stuff remastered albums sound better than ever. Doesn't get better than Hup. They were amazing live.

 

90's were fucking awesome for gigs and festivals. Was going to gigs a few times every week.

[rubble-rouser]

I love all the Britpop bands. Def Leppard, UB40

I hardly went to any gigs, as most 90s music wasn't to my taste. I mostly listened, as I still do, to 60s, 70s and 80s stuff. In fact, looking back, the 90s was a really bland decade, in my opinion. I was born ten to twenty years too late!

[Remmie]

Geez a lot of touchy Suede fans here. I'm not saying they are bad (relatively indifferent to them), just not as big as Ocean Colour Scene in terms of exposure. Maybe it's a regional thing because where I live it's not even close.

 

Anyway, I am torn between The Verve and Blur. I like Pulp but never pursued an album

[manwiththestick]

I actually hate the term Britpop, it was an easy label for a hell of a lot of music around at the time; some of it great, some good and even the not so good was alright compared to some of the stuff around today.

 

Whilst you had the easily pigeonholed bands like Blur, OCS, Suede etc, you also had the likes of Marion, Skunk Anansie, Gomez, Ash, Divine Comedy, even the likes of The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers all bringing something different to the table.

 

I was 20 in 1994 and it felt like I was attending at least one gig a week, it was a good time music wise, but then every generation says that don't they?

Just reading back through this and realised in this here post of mine in which I must have been bladdered I've gone and put two years on my life. I was 18 in 1994 not 20.

 

That's cleared that up.

Thank fuck for that
