I do not normally criticise British culture on the forums, but Britpop should go in Room 101. Oasis and Blur seemed tuneless to me and they were on TV far too often. Again, Oasis were supposed to be a reaction to synthesizer music and claimed to admire The Beatles, but it made no difference. Damon Albarn was classically trained, but I find him almost unlistenable.
One thing I do admire, is that Blur bassist Alex James invested his money in a farm, specialising in cheese making, so that his children could grow up in the country. I also share his fondness for cheese.
