This rules, going to listen to the whole album tomorrow

 

i listed to 13 yesterday and it is better than any oasis album i've ever heard

yes i know what thread i'm in

 

ok herb

 

The self titled album would like to have a word with you about that...

 

the self-titled blur album? also amazing. the scale of 13 just always impresses me. the little instrumental fragments that come out of nowhere (cf. outro of "coffee & tv"), plus from "battle" to "no distance left to run" it's just this incredible sequence of melodies and grooves all stretching out into outer space (especially "caramel" my god)

 

Yeah, the self titled Blur album is definitely my favourite. I was never really a fan until that came out. Really dug that how much they experimented. Listening back now, you can really hear the almost trip hop influences in some of the tracks.

13 is still good. But the ST edges it for me.

 

y'all like sleeping, huh

 

phanyes go back to bed, the adults are talking now

 

sorry, i’ll go back to bed with my gorillaz cartoons, thanks steve

 

Finally someone let Steve out of his cage!

 

nice

 

Pulp were probably the best britpop band

 

is Manic Street Preachers considered Britpop? If so then they're up there too

 

excluded bc welsh iirc

manics are def one of the best bands ever, and agreed re: pulp

 

Wales is part of Britain...

Or have I been wooshed?

 

i was not being serious

 

pulp is closest to oasis for me. they probably have two of the best five britpop songs. they also have a bunch of (albeit early) unlistenable stuff. i love the last three or so albums though. i think of them as the kind of band that a lot of people seem to trick themselves into thinking blur is.

 

Phew! It is something I can see people on here saying truthfully, sorry for questioning haha

 

Radiohead were the best Britpop band for one album, The Bends, which is probably their best.

:soaks up your boos like a heel in a WWE match:

I could maybe get behind the first half, but not the second.

 

I don’t like much britpop, but Blur and Manic Street Preachers are definitely my favourites. I did have a Shine compilation on cassette, though. Loved that.

Supergrass had some great tracks too. Mansun had some great choons. And Space. Maybe I liked britpop more than I thought. Someone should start a thread because this discussion deserves to be somewhere other than here haha

 

“Paint the Silence” by South

real heater

 

imagine mentioning mansun before oasis lol

 

wow somebody here likes oasis
