Yep these albums can be really fun. The Supergrass and Oasis debuts are in exactly the same category, except being derivatives of UK rather than US models.

Huh, I like the Strokes much better than Supergrass or Oasis. I'm not sure if they actually do have more to offer or if its just bias

I'll take a guess and say it's because you're a Beatles/Kinks person.

I love Bowie too much to be able to stand the idea of Suede (even though their debut is perfectly good guitar pop), and my ex who was really knowledgeable about US rock from the 60s and 70s couldn't bear hearing the Strokes. Many such cases!

Maybe. My love for the Kinks is a big part of why I don't like the Jam so there's that. Suede is ok to me, much nicer than Oasis or Supergrass. I'm an ardent Bowie fan based on a few albums that mean the world to me but I never got really into the rest of his discography.

Today I mostly return to the Berlin trilogy + Scary Monsters but I used to listen to everything beginning with Space Oddity and up to Let's Dance a lot. I think he has one hidden masterpiece, his last album with Eno from 1995, Outside.

I say this a lot, but if you can't find stuff that's really out there and pushing boundaries, that's because you aren't looking in the right places.

Never given a **** about The Strokes but I have no idea how Candlebox and the like could have been a thing on the radio in America when Oasis should have made them gauche and embarrassing.

Candlebox? Of all the bands - why them?

And yeah, I don't know why Oasis wasn't as big here.

They're standing in for mid-90s post-grunge in general.

Fair enough.

If you had to rank the top 3 milquetoast post-grunge bands, who else would be on the list? Talking about great music is a little dull.
