Tenner says Blur'll win...  And I don't know what Suede are doing there, they didn't do anything in either 95 or 96, when Britpop was at its peak - should just be the other three, in my opinion. The 'Holy Trinity of Britpop' groups, as Steven Merchant once called them. |

Arguably without Suede the term 'Britpop' wouldn't exist, with the term gaining wider use from the infamous Select Magazine cover in April 1993. John Harris (he who has made a two decade career of said subject  ) datea the term a year earlier to the release of 'The Drowners' and Blur's 'Popscene' as singles, kickstarting the Britpop movement.  Funny how the term is almost fondly thought of now, at the time it was a media tag with it being Spartacus reversed for the bands, i.e. none agreeing or claiming that they were Britpop. |

Oh I do apologise, could've sworn Coming Up came out in '97. |

For Suede it would be their album " Suede Is A Material We Are So Ecstatic About We Named Our Band After It". Songs wise Pulp's " Pulp It Up Then Juice It Later" is great and for Suede " Suede Looks Different Depending On The Way The Wind May Blow (Reprise)". |

In fairness 1997 was the main tour in support of it with the big festival appearances etc. It come out in Sep 1996, made some UK magazines top ten lists but as I say the following year was the big one for that line up  |

and, guigsysEstring, with regards to the term 'Britpop' being looked on more favourably now, I think that's just a result of the lack of any real music scene at the moment. Now, twenty years on, folk who might not've been keen at the time, can now look back on it and go "you know what, there was some pretty good music being made then", and for us younger folks who've grown up in the 2000s and 2010s, with sweet fuck all to get behind, we naturally find ourselves gravitating towards a time where you could be awkward and arty, or, in the case of our beloved Gallagher brothers, straight off the dole, and become pop stars. It's like Jarvis Cocker said of the Pulp song, Mis-shapes, when he wrote it in '95, he really felt as if there was going to be an uprising, and the outsiders of society would overthrow the squares and warmongers. Obviously, it never happened, but for someone like Jarvis Cocker to go up there, shaking his non-existent hips on telly like some sex-crazed librarian, that's gotta count for something, right? Could you imagine anyone like Jarvis performing at next year's BRIT awards? No, folk around my age missed out on all that. And by the looks of it, with MOR music marketed exclusively to the middle-classes everywhere the eye can see, it won't be coming round again any time soon. Hence, we all write "I was born in the wrong time" posts on YouTube and all that, similar to how we imagine the forerunners of the 80s Alternative scene, inspired by the punk of the late 70s as they were, might have done had they had internet then. And although Britpop was really just a catch-all term for all the bands sprouting up in the mid-nineties, I do think there were some recurring elements to the music. A bit like the Glam Rock outfits of the early 70s, who despite being different in many, many ways, all inspired each others work. And the kind of things you hear in a lot of the Britpop records - slightly jangly guitar, copious amounts of strings and horns, etc. - just happen to really appeal to me. |

Totally off topic but you talking about young folk growing up in this century reminded me of a meme I sent as an answer to a business partner this week (me sending a meme? imagine... ) who was moaning that all kids today have it easy. I think it well represents our generation versus yours in some ways, although some people of my generation like to avoid this subject when they are slagging off "the youth of today"   |

What a GREAT show !!
They played all the Britpop classics. I counted 15 Oasis tunes. And one of them was (you guys won't believe this), BAG IT UP ! haha, I was so surprised they played that.
I danced with this pretty lady in her 40's. Then she let me bum a cigarette after the show. I think we're in L.O.V.E

Glad you had a good night.  Reminded me for some reason of this Craigslist hoax that some media souces took seriously a few years ago- Megadeth concert pregnancy craigslist how a joke becomes newsworthy  |
