Never said you said it , I was just explaining why they don't sound anything alike. No need to get defensive.

And yes there is a difference. Britpop was a collection of bands from the same area who were all being signed and putting stuff out after a time where there wasn't much in the way of British music. It had nothing to do with how they sounded.

The first group of bands to be labelled Britpop wern't Blur or Oasis but Denim (A 70s glam rock parody) PJ Harvey & The Auteurs. all very very different artists with just the country they were from being the connection.

I guess....but a movement can define a genre such as punk in the 70's

There are always exceptions. You were talking about Britpop and in that case there was a difference.
Or at least there was until later when every band started sounding the same.

Yeh well I think it's like that in most cases like grunge, new wave.....ect. But what are some other good 'Britpop' bands?

I'm sure Urban will back me up, a good band at that time were Super Furry Animals.

After listening to it obsessively for the last couple of days, I have concluded that it's my favorite King Crimson album ever. What's your favorite song off Red? Mine is probably "Fallen Angel".



I just got these in the mail today:

Wind in the Wires-Patrick Wolf

Their all incredible albums.

the black seeds - into the dojo

just got it in the mail a few days ago. i was so relieved, i was sure those sketchy kiwi's had scammed me

Weedeater - "...And Justice for Y'all"
Weedeater - "Sixteen Tons"
Weedeater - "God Luck and Good Speed"

Starless is mine - it's also my favourite song ever. But yeah, Fallen Angel would be my next favourite. I think all the songs all stellar though - they managed to get the improvisational thing right with Providence as well, which is much better than Moonchild from ITCOTCK.


I haven't yet heard that album.

God Don't Make No Junk- The Halo Benders

Ahh the Halo Benders, the voice is sometimes too deep for me.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...moviebegin.jpg
A good album featuring early live shows when the band sounded more like a punk band, and Ian sung in a more of a high pitched voice. Also features alot of interviews with the band and producer Martin Hannet, but some interviews are hard to make out what they're saying with all the noise in the back ground.

Is that an actual album or a bootleg? Sounds intriguing...

It's a live album, I think it's a real album.

Besides the Yeni Raki EP i d/l off of their myspacez, the last one would be morrissey's Viva Hate.

Every Picture Tells a Story-Rod Stewart
Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy-The Who
Eat a Peach-The Allman Brothers Band
Fragile-Yes
Machine Head-Deep Purple
The Kink Kronikles-The Kinks
Dixie Chicken-Little Feat
New York Dolls-New York Dolls
Raw Power-Iggy & the Stooges
Selling England by the Pound-Genesis

I got the new Children of Bodom 'Blooddrunk'...it's pretty good.

Dear lordy what a good album.

Fork Songs- Tall Dwarf
I'm really digging Tall Dwarf at the moment, they are lo-fi New Zealand gods. Anyways, Fork Songs is really low-tech and has that DIY/aesthetic charm that comes with most of their music.

The last one I bought was Sam's Town by The Killers. And the last I downloaded were Flux remixes by Bloc Party.

Liberation Transmission by Lostprophets.. good stuff

They do 4am and Everyday combat am i correct?

If so i remember it being REALLY generic but not bad sounding.

yeah those are both songs from the album, and yeah after listening to it I found it is pretty generic. They kind of went backwards.. I really like their old stuff a lot more

I just won an auction for 12 albums - final bid was $2! Ignoring the fact that a Def Leppard album is the last thing I want, it's a pretty good haul really. I discovered the auction on Trademe when I was looking for a Windir album.
