I'm going to go ahead and say I like Coldplay's new album. And "Yellow" is and always will be a damn good song.
Radiohead has transcended the genre. They've put out a few turds, but it's entirely forgivable considering how awesome their good stuff is. And In Rainbows is one of their best albums.
Never really got into Blur.
This is going to upset Chairman Mel considerably, but Oasis is only as famous as they are because of their massive egos and temper tantrums. They put out some great songs in the 90s, but who didn't? Does that qualify 10,000 Maniacs and Crash Test Dummies to be in the top 10 bands ever, Melzer?
Teenage Fanclub is a little underrated. Good, not great.
Late 90s/2000s Britpop=I'm not interested. Doves/Muse/Elbow are uninteresting.
All in all, Britpop is a disappointment of a genre. Not nearly as good as its influences, like post-grunge.

Who didn't put out great music in the 90s? Is that a genuine question. If this isn't satire then I am stunned. The 90s was the worst decade of music, and the late 90s is the worst part of it. Oasis isn't famous because of tantrums and egos, they are famous because What's The Story Morning Glory is one of the best albums ever.I agree that Britpop is a disappointing genre, but Oasis is not the band you want to center your argument on.
ReplyDeletehow is britpop disappointing? I mean yeah there were some bad britpop bands, just like with any other genre but bands like: suede, pulp, blur, stone roses, the divine comedy, the verve etc., were great...and then you have bands like super furry animals who are really really amazing.
ReplyDeleteI stand by my post. Also, I forgot to mention that Spacehog's "In the Meantime" is a much-overlooked late 90s British jam.
