Off Topic Tuesday: Britpop greats

[CHAPPERS]

I don't count Ash as Britpop, its not fair on them, they still make good music and have easily stood the test of time whereas all those other bands (even Blur and Oasis to an extent) were only successful during that period. Ash became more successful post Britpop.

Plus they are Irish.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

So did Feeder though, and they're bollocks.

[Barnet Seagull]

No mention of the Super Furry's and Supergrass?

Caught by the Fuzz was just awesome...

 

[Soton Seagull]

So many good bands, but also so many pretenders.

Jarvis Cocker is a legend!

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Oasis, Cast, Blur, Pulp, Ocean Colour Scene, Manic Street Preachers, Bluetones, Radiohead.

I think they are all great.

I've been listening a lot just lately to "Return to the last chance saloon" by those Britpop greats, The Bluetones. This is a great album - and one which surfs the crest of the last year of Britpop better than most

I have Expecting To Fly and Luxembourg, how does it compare against them? I think Luxembourg is a good album but I think Code Blue is a bit to cynical for my liking.

 

[BrightonFoxDave]

You've overlooked Elastica! They were the best of the britpop bunch by miles.

Personally, I'd go for Leisure as top Blur album. Oh, and anything by Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Absolute quality!

So did Feeder though, and they're bollocks.
