What is your favourite BritPop band ?

[donkey tugger]

There was some utter dross (Menswear.. ) but Pulp, Blur and the odd Oasis number have stood the test of time.

Hopefully KVR users are better at making music than understanding generes.

Maybe try to look up the definition BritPop is before posting b*llshit:

We were being facsicious, at least I was, being a Brit it just comes naturally

Tony Blair and New Labour

I suppose you are already working on BrexPop

[deastman]

and sometimes synth bands like Blur.

So who plays synth in Blur?

Albarn: Vocals
Coxon: Guitar
James: Bass
Rowntree: Drums

For a "synth" band, weird that no-one of the main members are listed as keyboard players.

That wasn't what I meant. The sentence was poorly worded. Someone walked up to meet with me and I had to hit Send before I was finished. Obviously Blur is strictly a guitar band.

Being off topic is British?

Can you stop posting bullshit, or is that part of being British as well.

[Numanoid]

That wasn't what I meant.

That goes for 95% off the input in this thread.

KVRers need to go on a diet, how long are they gonna rely on fat fingers as an excuse for having no clue.

[aMUSEd]

Not particularly a fan of any band or the genre as a whole (and can't stand Oasis) but a few songs stand out for me (most probably not entirely typical though)

[whyterabbyt]

Orange Juice? Nope.

[Numanoid]

Orange Juice is a great band.

But when it comes to the zeitgeist of BritPop, it is mid to late 90's

It would be Blur Parklife or Oasis Def Maybe who got the snowball rolling for real in '94

Before that there was Suede, but they (as I remember at the time in 1993) were more compared to glam rock, than being seen as a new genre

Yeah a bit earlier - but I would call them all indie really and see that as a movement that had its roots in the mid 80's with bands like The Smiths, I think 'Britpop' was more a marketing term.

[Numanoid]

I think 'Britpop' was more a marketing term.

I think it was more a music press term, that the market scooped on.

Before Britpop, there were bands like SMASH and These Animal Men, and they were labeled as the New Wave of New Wave, by the music press like NME.

That term didn't catch on (no wonder), but terms like BritPop and TripHop did.
