No Britpop band ever released an album that was great from beginning to end. At best they might contain a handful of good songs.

I agree with that opinion.


Do you consider The La's to be Britpop?

If not, probably agree tbh. I love Blur but pretty much everything else is boring as fuck to me.

Only God knows.

I think of The La's as proto-Britpop I guess.

Blur is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Back in the day I remember them being a band that I really wanted to like, because they seemed more artsy and interesting than other Britpop bands and they had cool album covers. But my experience with them was that I liked a few of their songs and the rest of the album would be 100% skippable.

I would consider it more of a preference than an opinion, but I like club rap and goofy party rap better than lyrical rap. I'm not really entertained by intricate multisyllabic wordplay, I just want to get crunk.

I think Supergrass' debut is a britpop album that's pretty solid from beginning to end.

I like Morrissey's music and think his solo career contains more gems than The Smiths discog. The most noticeable thing about The Smiths is Moz and so I kinda think of his solo career as The Smiths 2.0. It's not like he wildly changes style and he actually does just fine without Marr as a sparring partner.

Blur's 13 (1999) is one of the great albums of its era but it has nothing to do with Britpop. Couldn't be further from that world

Led Zeppelin did the right thing by breaking up after John Bonham died but it would've been better if they'd broken up before they recorded 'In Through the Out Door.'



I would rate Pulp as great Britpop.

The Word has spoken :D

"Common People" is the only song I've heard by them that I like.

Not a fan of Pulp but Babies, Mile End and This Is Hardcore are three songs I like a lot

"Fool in the Rain" and "All My Love" are two of my favorite LZ songs so can't agree.

I absolutely love In Through the Out Door, but I've always liked it when they expanded their sound outside of the classic bluesy hard rock and I'm a sucker for rock bands embracing synths.

I hope we all agree Oasis and The Stone Roses are two of the most overrated bands ever  :)

Only God knows.
