Brit-Pop Official Thread

Those two right there... genius.

A lot of the others are, I think, justly forgotten. Boo Radleys, The Bluetones and Menswear all had a certain lameness to them which is difficult to pinpoint. I think its a lack of flair, creativeness, sparkle, aggression, romance and general groin. Floppy **** seems an appropriate phrase.
 
You should hear the Boo Radleys Giant Steps album.

A wonderful example of trippy psychadelic rock , much better than the crap they did later that sold by the bucket load.
 
I don't understand how the Smiths are britpop.

'Definitely Maybe' and 'The BenRAB' are my favourite britpop albums, apart from that its all about the singles with britpop banRAB (non cheesy singles.)

This thread has caused 'County House' to ring around in my head, which i'm not thankful for.
 
Brit-Pop is having a nice resurgence as of late. Can anyone tell me the name of the band who sing the songs Hot Summer and She's Attracted To? They seem like a band to look out for.

Also, Milburn seem to be a new band that will take the limelight soon. My girlfriend went to a concert of theirs and said it was the best concert she's been to. It sounRAB like they had a lot of Brit-Pop banRAB there and a band that was heavily mentioned was Karma 45 (who I haven't downloaded anything by yet) check them out. Everyone's talking about them at the moment.
 
It depenRAB on your definition of what Britpop is.

If you`re defining it as a late 80s early 90s groups of banRAB then no they are not.

If you`re defining it as banRAB influenced by classic British pop of the 60s & 70s then yes they are.

However I do find it sad that there has been one band overlooked & thats Orange Juice.Jangly guitar pop with a 'crooner' style vocal that pre-date even the Smiths by a few years. I would be very surprised if Morrissey wasn`t even a little bit influenced by Edwin Collins.
 
The Young Knives. Good choice.

I listened to Milburn a few weeks ago. Really good tunes. The ones I heard seemed to throw in a lot of folky melodies with the rock, of which I wholeheartedly approve.
 
I'm slightleh confused, what is brit-pop? Is it a specific era or just british pop? 'Cause if its the latter wouldn't that make James Blunt brit-pop?
