- Post subject: Britpop
|
Quite a few people on this site look down upon Britpop bands such as Oasis, Blur, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, etc but i listen to very far out and experimental stuff (Machine Gun, TMR, Parable of Arable Land, The Ascension, White Light/White Heat, For Alto) and i think that the Britpop era had some great bands. The best being the stone roses.
Anyway, I'm going to see Primal Scream in Philadelphia in a few weeks and i just saw Oasis just before christmas, so recently i have been listening to some albums from the britpop era again. For a while around 2 years ago, it was my favorite genre of music. So what are your opinions of Britpop? Like it? Hate it? Favorite Artist? etc

I like the britpop era; several of the artists you mentioned have albums that made it on to my list (happy mondays, primal scream, oasis at one point)

I wouldn't call the Roses or Mondays or Primal Scream britpop, britpop was not just music it was sort of a cultural movement (or something like that) and i don't think for example The Stone Roses was really a part of that, even if there music sounded very britpop and inspierd several britpop bands like Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede, Elastica, Supergrass....

I agree that Primal Scream aren't really britpop and there are bands that more britpop than happy mondays but Stone Rose are definatly britpop. They started the whole thing

Stone Roses are pretty good, I like The Queen is Dead better though.

I really like the smiths. What would you guys classify primal scream as, because I really don't know?

I love Elastica's debut even though they unashamedly rip-offed the Wire on "Connection".
