Britpop Bands - rank and discuss

[jimmy jazz]

Thought I'd post the thread.

@Lexi Darling @SGR @Marie Monday @Guybrush @Janszoon @jimmy jazz @Trollheart @Suburban Placeholder? @Hope @Thelonious Monkey @DJChameleon @Auroras In Ice @Saulaac @Buck_Mulligan @Jwb @Qwerty Sanchez

For me:

Blur > The La's > Oasis

If The La's did more they might be number 1 but they just didn't do enough.

Can we stick a poll on this thing (and then debate about which bands, if any, should be removed from the polling)? Ideally, I'd like ranked choice voting, but I don't think we've got that.

Are Super Furry Animals Britpop? Manic Street Preachers?

I'm firmly in the camp that says Radiohead is not Britpop, but I begrudgingly accept that others may not feel the same way.

[jimmy jazz]

I'm OK with that. I can't do it so the mods need to do it.

BTW include whichever bands you want. Radiohead qualify in my opinion.

This thread needs an injection from a professional.

Here is my official stance on all bands I've seen mentioned, minus The La's as I am not familiar.

Blur > Super Furry Animals > Oasis > Pulp > Manic Street Preachers > Radiohead > Supergrass > Suede

[Trollheart]

I have to say, I don't appreciate you guys robbing my personal photos to use in your gifs!

Let me know what bands you want in the poll and I'll get it sorted.

If we're going to include the La's, could a case be made for the Stone Roses to be included?

I don't think The Verve should be included.

"NOOOO!!!!"

Ahem...

Ahem...

I think we need to argue about it first, but I'm comfortable adding the following:

• Oasis
• Blur
• Pulp
• Suede
• Super Furry Animals
• Supergrass
• The La's

[Trollheart]

Okay I'll add those and then I can add more if you need. You want multiple voting or just one each?

How does 'multiple voting' work? You can't just choose every option, can you? Can you restrict it to 2 or 3?

I'm fine with axing them. If others have objections, speak up.
