90s britpop

McK@n · 13th November 2009, 22:53

Time to remember the 90s britpop, i was around 10 at that time i discovered britpop, so many of my memories are happy ones, skating, TV games, footie in the playground, girls getting boobs and of course watching footie at my TV. Since then it has always been something that i relate to.

What's your favourite 90s britpop song?

Ill start of with blur's Country House. Great song!

This is up there with the best tracks to emerge from the Britpop silliness

Laphroaig · 13th November 2009, 23:21

Haven't listened to that stuff in years and years, but I suspect that if I were to give them a listen today I'd enjoy Suede the most and Oasis the least. And Blur more than Verve.

It was in general, well, fucking awful!

If that is up there with the best of it, then that only highlights what utter shite the rest of it was.

You are probably right, but posting clips that say "Embedding disabled by request" isn't useful unless you say "Double click on it".....

It's when 'bands' went mainstream. Going mainstream is the death of many a musical genre...I much prefer the late eighties - early nineties era of the Manchester rave scene, more underground indie stuff etc

esmufc12 · 14th November 2009, 00:14

Not one Oasis song? Granted a lot of people think they were a bit crap after 1995 but their first two albums were brilliant.

'Bands' were mainstream long before that, just as other 'bands' remained underground during the 90s. To say the 90s was somehow the start of bands selling out is just silly.

That said, I wasn't a big fan of the whole Britpop scene, was always more into the American alt rock scene of the same era. But in the spirit of the OP, here's some Sleeper:

That was butchery in itself.

I would have a few more though, like Live Forever, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Morning Glory, Supersonic, and a couple more that I can't think of at the moment.

It's still useful because most people manage to double click things without being told so. What's less useful is to post videoes that has been removed due to copyright infringement.

By the time Britpop came around it had become a pastiche of itself, with bands like Bush. But the beginnings, the late 80s stuff; Sonic Youth, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Smashing Pumpkins etc. were all great.

WeasteDevil · 14th November 2009, 01:05

Sorry, I thought that you were referring to grunge.

Agreed (except for the "etc." The best of it was very good, I'm indifferent to the rest of it.)

It sounds like shit on YouTube as well!

FranklyVulgar · 14th November 2009, 01:20

90s britpop was utter shite, 80s britpop at least had some good tunes.

Personally I would say that song epitomises everything that was SHIT about britpop - i fucking hate that song

Im not sure what exactly qualifies at britpop but I suppose this is a good summary ...

RedRonaldo · 14th November 2009, 09:11

Used to be crazy about these songs.

Tribec · 14th November 2009, 13:28

Clitpop was far better....

Stobzilla · 14th November 2009, 17:34

Not Britpop per se but this was the best album released at that time.

Tune.
