Suede released nothing good or successful after 96 so it’s fair to say that even if you wrongly call them Britpop they were destroyed by it.

I met Badly Drawn Boy at a festival once, in the queue for chips. He asked us if we were going to go see him later and we said that we were. We weren’t.

I loved the debut album at the time, and Silent Sigh was a banger. 3/5.

He’s still there. Waiting for you.

…until they reformed and became one of the best adverts for a successful reformation going, delighting fans and entirely rehabilitating their standing with critics, The Blue Hour was really great!

I don’t think Britpop killed Suede anyway, a fatally awful album 5 years after Britpop died is what did for 'em.

Certainly a good Suede album for the fans. Just sounded like an attempt to do Dog Man Star all over again to me.

This track is forever associated with ghastly Chris Evans breakfast shows for me, so for that reason I hope it burns in hell forever. Along with ‘Yes’ by McAlmont and Butler.

I fucking hate it with every inch of my soul.

Captain Beefheart - Britpop.

Used to hate it but it was mostly because I was mad at Butler for leaving Suede and then I got over myself and now appreciate it for the banger it is.

Another tune from the time teenage Yvash thought was a load of shite and now knows much better is Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You. I have no idea why I hated it so much. It’s fucking brilliant.

See also: Return Of The Mack. I loathed it because Mark Morrison is a Grade A Bellend but fuck me, once I put a few years behind it, what a bop.

Does the new load of post punk bands (black Midi, Squid etc…) have a scene name? Or do they escape the curse now there’s no music press anymore?

This is how I feel about Cry Me A River. 11 y/o Pervo hated Justin Timberlake with every inch of her soul. In hindsight, 11 y/o Pervo was a fool, Justin might be a bit of a ballbag but his Justified/LoveSexetc/20 20 Experience stuff bangs

Ocean Colour Scene - Mandible

It was out around Eurovision time in 1995 and I still contend to this day that it would make the best Eurovision song contest entry ever!

I liked Girl Like You, then hated it as it got played a lot. Like lots and lots and lots

Pleased to hear it now cos it doesn’t get played that much anymore

I had an identical experience with Return of the Mac to you

Thinking about this it’s odd how they decided what was Britrock and what was Britpop/indie and they wouldn’t cover. E.g. late 90s Manics were considered rock but Radiohead weren’t.

#95

Seem to vaguely remember Manics were always really positive about rock & metal. Said they were into GnR etc. Maybe this endeared them to Kerrang?
