Default Britpop

All the talk about the 20th anniversary of various albums has me feeling nostalgic - first it was NIN and The Downward Spiral, now Blur's Parklife. I had a huge thing for britpop in the 90's, everything from Suede and Saint Etienne to The Verve and Spiritualized. Oddly enough, I never cared all that much for Oasis, but Pulp is a band I love to this day...Different Class in particular.

What were some of your favorite albums? Favorite songs? Who would you consider the best or most influential artists of that time?

I literally have never heard a britpop album that I found to be listenable all the way through but I'm fond of some singles by Oasis, Blur, Suede and Travis.

Anyone else really dislike the term "Britpop"?

I know right? It just doesn't sound good at all.

What is the reason behind the dislike of the term?

Not really knowledgable on Britpop bands, but, I do like The Verve, Oasis, Blur, Pulp and SULK.

I can listen to, 'Graceless,' the whole way through.

For me the term just makes it easier to lump bands like the Spice Girls or S Club 7 in with the ones we're discussing. Not that I'm right of course, that's just my opinion.

I ****ing love Pulp.

I could actually take or leave most of the rest, as I find the remainder a bit hit/miss. The major albums don't seem to settle enough on one idea for my enjoyment. For example, the clownish interludes on Parklife inhibit my ability to enjoy the whole album as one unit.

Yes! The actual song Parklife just makes me cringe.

I genuinely liked Suede a lot, even though I couldn't listen to any of their albums all the way through and enjoy every song. Dog Man Star and Coming Up were their best releases IMO. Sadly, as much as I love Pulp I have no interest in the stuff they released after This Is Hardcore, there are good tracks here and there but I just couldn't get into any of the later albums that much.

Love that song. It just gives me such good visuals of day-to-day life. It's fun and dumb, but charming in a weird kind of way.
