Blur had a much more supple (not sure of the word) sound, and they eventually integrated grunge sound in their eponymous album

Well I meant that Pulp's record is my favorite record considering both grunge and Britpop records, but it's definitely not grunge indeed Though if we're talking about irritating, a song such as Girls & Boys (and I love this song) is to me, more or less, the definition of irritating.
Thanks for the PS haha, tbh it's not always been like that ; I learned most of it here on the forums (and I mean it seriously!). I'm not nearly as confident when I'm speaking though, because there's much less room for thinking about the order of the words or the right one to use (and let's not even talk about the accent...). It's also how you learn it at shcool : through writing, much more than through speaking. I really need to spend some time in an English-speaking country to fluidify things. Mais tu n'es pas en reste non plus, ton anglais aussi est nickel  |
Yes, BEA is definitely a good English school (because we end up writing quite often, because the subject is of interest to us all). As for English language, grammar is the easiest part, and the rest is what makes a good level, i.e: richness of vocabulary, variety of idiomatic expressions (as for any language), use of phrasal verbs..., etc. Very difficult to reach. And speaking is even more difficult, I agree. You should see me mumbling, waiting for words to come out..

So much truth.
Britpop, to me, is the absolutely worst genre ever.
But I like Blur at times...
AT TIMES.

That's a pretty bold statement haha. How can someone who loves U2, Coldplay and The Beatles so much dislike Britpop so hard? I mean, what game-changing differences may make Coldplay's pop-rock some of the best ever while making Pulp's belong to the "worst genre ever"? Or did I take you too literally?

I never did see how grunge was anything but just regular old Hard Rock. It was just guitar rock, that's all. Not that I didn't like any of it, because I did. Britpop was a bit more entertaining, so I voted Britpop.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
But I also still like this and a lot Pearl Jam's catalog, so I'm voting grunge.
Ten by Pearl Jam

This. Other than nirvana I wasnt that fussed. Pearl Jam just sound like any other other hard rock shit. Britpop was my thing for a while, I was the right age. There was some great music in britpop, unfortunately not a massive amount album wise but singles wise there was. I'd rather listen to Menswear than Pearl Jam or Soundgarden. This is a very good album britpop wise if you don't know it...
Love And Other Demons by Strangelove

I abstained; I like both as much. Maybe a little more Britpop because Oasis' hymns and Pulp's Different Class touch me more than any Grunge but then I appreciate how Grunge got into the mainstream (MTV!) while being so different to the pop-rock most people were used to, and I highly respect musicians like Eddie Vedder.

Do you mean urban hymns? That was the verve.

There’s a lot of good Britpop albums in-between the sea of mediocrity that came after The Stone Roses’ debut. I can, however, say with confidence that Grunge simply had a wider catalog of better albums – but maybe that’s because Grunge was even more oversaturated in terms of releases than Britpop was. Vote for Grunge. But love for both. Anyone who says Britpop is a dumpster fire hasn't listened to anything but the tip of the iceberg.
