Way to ignore about 60% of their legacy.
Oasis were better in the early days, however by the end of both bands Blur couldn't even see Oasis in their rear view mirror, and were FAR more musically credible than Oasis who slowly became a 3rd rate-pub-band/Beatles-tribute etc.
13 and Think Tank are fantastic albums.
We actually had a pretty decent indie club in Worthing believe it or not! It was called the Factory and it was small, dingy, had sweat running down the walls & served it's beer in cans...The interior was also designed by Jamie Hewlett...
Albion & England forever.

Bloc Party being the exception to the rule then!
As were Cornershop.
Both shit and I struggle to understand how either are described as "Indie". I effectively stopped listening to music seriously after that Brit Pop nonsense.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Menswear
...and also featured in an episode of 'Wired World' by Philip Bond in Deadline magazine. I used to love it in The Factory (despite the chances of getting communicable diseases from leaning against the walls and the strange beer in yellow cans) but used to prefer punk nights or similar as I wasn't the biggest fan of Britpop
Got dropped before the second album could get released
James, The Catherine Wheel, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Inspiral Carpets, Love and Rockets, Blue Aeroplanes, Jazz Butcher Conspiracy..... the list goes on.
ALL better than Blur and Oasis, who were way over-rated.
I saw the Jazz Butcher at my university. He was a bit of a nob to be honest. The singer reacted to the rather sparse crowd by stepping off the stage and playing right in-the-face of a student, leaning into him and pushing him back. Suffice to say he was eventually punched in the face and subsequently beat a hasty retreat to his dressing room never to be seen again that night.
