December 11, 200816 yr Author the britpop story this is just part 1, but i hope people will watch it to understand just how important these bands were and still are... so, if you have any doubts, pretty please look at the videos!
December 11, 200816 yr This thread's fun, but did I see the cover of The Bends posted? Definitely not a Britpop band, them Radiohead boys. We need some Ocean Colour Scene, Menswear and Sleeper posted too!
December 11, 200816 yr Author well, i cannot post all pics at 24 hours!!! and yeah, radiohead are not britpop band, but the second album and also partially first were presented as a part the whole britpop mania... britpop wasn't just about music, it was lifestyle. and after few years of silence, it came back in a slightly different packages... the libs, arctic monkeys, etc... all influenced by '90. it is very hard to find some pics of certain bands like ash or sleeper or even elastica, but thank God for youtube... there are many documentaries and videos from many various artists.
December 11, 200816 yr I suppose you're right, The Bends was often wrongly labelled as Britpop, by virtue of being a record by a British band in 1995. I would also say that The Libertines' influences extend beyond merely 1990s indie rock, but again, I get what you mean. That being said, I'd say Blur had more in common with Madness and then Pavement than they did with Oasis, which shows you that yeah, the term Britpop was pretty darn vague. You're probably right about the lifestyle, if you were partying with Loaded magazine editors in the West End, snorting coke in the toilets with Goldie, or even just on the cover of the NME, you were most likely dubbed a Britpopper.
December 12, 200816 yr Author more pics i found... geeze, i can only find oasis.... noel was right. people listen to U2, but love oasis. and they do.... i was always team blur, though oasis' first album was and is amazing. common people, i need help here!!!!
