The sun, the sea and slide away are stand outs on an incredible album.

@Peteinblack did you not get the memo??!! 🤣🤣

I've heard that it's possible to like Duran Duran and other music as well. John Taylor is a brilliant bass player. I read that DD played a punk gig and opened with Planet Earth (I think) it started totally dark and then they launched in. The punks had no idea what was happening. My answer to...

Always been a big fan of shoegaze. mBV weren't huge favourites of mine but Loveless has made a big impact on me over the last few years since it's re release. My 18 year old drum and bass head also loves it.

Yeah I agree, Oasis were incredibly exciting when they came out. As Britpop hit it's really heights the music really suffered IMHO. Definately Maybe is far better than Morning Glory, A Stomr I Heaven (Shoegaze classic) and especially A Northern Soul were better than Urban Hymns. Everything...

I haven't got into Tim's solo stuff but the Charlatans get plenty of credit in my house. They come to Australia often too and play brilliant smaller venues, which is a big bonus. Verve haven't been over and Radiohead play massive (expensive) gigs when they come.

I listened to the first episode and enjoyed it. Sad that These Animal Men failed to get a mention alongside S*M*A*S*H. Brightons own and decent chaps to boot. The pre Britpop bands mentioned were Suede, The Manics and Modern Life is Rubbish era Blur. Enjoyed all three, throw in shoe gaze and I...

I appreciate that because I will still go.

I'm hoping Pulp come over to Australia, I have heard they have been brilliant on this tour. Great band.

How old were you?

Everything got lumped into it though. Liam Gallagher eloquently tweeted the other day the oasis and Verve weren't Britpop. As you hint here to me Britpop were those Camden bands, sleeper, menswear etc. All a bit samey but a few decent songs.

Some good music came out of Britpop. But most of the good stuff was attached to the scene from outside. the Charlatans, Verve, Pulp, Radiohead. I will give this a listen but you can shove your Menswear and Marion where the sun don't shine. I'll take shoegaze any day of the week 😀
