Thing is, I still listen to stuff that was out when I was about 13/14 (and a lot of these bands like Ride, Lush, Slowdive, MBV etc. have come back recently) but luckily that was a good 5 years before Britpop. Always feel sorry for anyone who had to have Shed 7 as their all time favourite band.

I think everyone returns to the stuff they were into in their teen years - I’ve been doing it myself recently. Scotland does seem to have a particularly huge chunk of folk who’ve never left that era though. (I say this as someone who started to get in to music during the Britpop years - all two of them - as well.)

Will probably regret posting this as it’s truly one of the worst records ever made but does qualify (thankfully) as a one hit wonder…

I Know. When Brit Pop really hit the bottom rung…

God! I really, REALLY hated that Catch single and I’ve got a LOT of shit by Britpop also-rans. Anyone else go to Thurman’s album launch at Madam Jo-Jos? No? Didn’t think so…

Girl that I used to work with was obsessed with Laxton’s Superb!

Toby Slater from Catch now runs a sex club in London.

Where’s that thread about throwing up a little bit in your mouth?

Ahhh, the night I missed the last train home after going to see them and Soda at the Water Rats. Halcyon days!

I maintain that Coming Round by Laxton’s Superb is a banger.

Ah, kiddy indie. I remember this guy, thought he was an insufferable wank.

Furthermore, the follow up single Dive In, about wet dreams (obviously), was potentially worse

Babylon Zoo : “Spaceman”

Yeah - this song is incredible…thanks to Gideon Coe for playing it a few years back and introducing me to it…like Huggy Bear says the album is good - not far from being very good…but this song stands head and shoulders above

The frontman Toby used to live near me and I remember him drunkenly blagging a lift from us back from some gig or possibly evn the Brighton Essential festival back in around 94…thanks Mum (that is quite a drive if it was the latter)…good guy back then and remember finding it quite funny when Catch broke through…but probably more of a boy-band than indie - or some cross-section of it…can’t say i am fond of this song but hope he’s doing well

Fell down a youtube rabbit hole, but how on earth did no one mention Sing It Out when talking about HOTS. Madness.

*(Unless they did, I stopped reading ~80 in)
