Why listen to an album which is not Forever Changes when you can listen to Forever Changes?
Why listen to Pavement when you can listen to Built To Spill? That said, I love Pavement, I just prefer BTS.
Oh and please add a third point in the title, it's unbearable x(

Why listen to The White Stripes when you can listen to The Fiery Furnaces. People always compare then, not all that sure why. (Meg and Jack aren't siblings right?  )

Why listen to Pulp (who are over hyped) when you can listen to any other britpop band?
In essence, a lot of britpop is interchangeable with one another.

Why listen to HappyMeal shit on Pulp, when you could listen to me tell you why they're so much better than other Britpop bands
Jarvis Cocker is simply one of the best lyricists I've ever heard. Pulp songs are insightful social commentary with an impeccably humorous wit.

Fair point, but then again, they have never written a song about lasagna.
And I wasn't shitting on Pulp. I think they're pretty good. overhyped, yes, but they're still good.
Either way, I still think a lot of the britpop I've listened to is interchangeable. I don't think it all sounds the same, just that you couldn't go wrong listening to any of the acclaimed britpop bands over one another, they're all good as well as overhyped (Oasis, The Verve, Pulp, Blur, Suede, etc.).
