Britpop
 

Does anyone feel it time for bands like Oasis Beady Eye New Order to be toppng the charts again ?

or is just me

As long as they put out good music, I could care less of their place on the charts. If you mean "Is it time for them to put out some more good, new albums" then yes, it is time.

PULP. It had to be said.

No. The Stones Roses can be said as well.

Agreed.

though i read his comment wrong. I thought it said "PULP is all that has to be said" I need more sleep.

But I think The Stones Roses are the best thing to come out of the Britpop scene.

it's a her

stones roses as in "the rolling stones" and "guns n' roses"

i want Suede to reform

i don't like the Beady Eye album. but yeah, i hope they top the charts again.

Stone Roses
Suede
Queen
The Beatles
The Smiths
Judas Priest

so many more are missed.

my mistake. her..

and yeah Suede is pretty good.

I also like Manic Street Preachers.

Post-Britpop
 

Its more than likely just you. Britpop originated in the late 80s and was more popular from the mid-to late-1990s. (It's not really a big deal), but anything current would be considered Post-Britpop.

It's not current enough and doesn't fit into the charts any more. I don't think being in the charts does Oasis justice anyway. Glasto is more there scene.

Yeah Britpop makes me think of Oasis, Blur, Supergrass, Cast, Shed7. Not New Order. Shame it didn't evolve, or did it?

No because it's not as popular as it was. Does it even exist really now?

Its been Post Brit-pop since the late 90s with The Verve's album Urban Hymns. (1997)

They have. My friend saw them do Dog Man Star a couple of weeks ago, and they're doing some festivals.

with the original line-up?

with Brett Butler instead of Mat Osman

Honestly don't know. Wikipedia will probably have the answer.

I don't think this thread is a knock on present British bands. Of course there is some good music being put out presently by Great Britain (it is the same thing with Sweden..the music scene here did not just die out after Abba and Roxette ;) )..but there was a time when there was a massive amount of really great music being put out in the 80's/90's from there..then it seemed to trickle down to a few...and hence bring back Britpop.

Bush recently put out a new single and is putting out an album in September. I don't know if it will be as good as "Sixteen Stone" but so far it doesn't sound so bad.

Look at Pulp their tour this summer is incredible thus far according to the majority of publications I have read and listening to their gigs they seem to have matured in a good way.

Blur, Oasis, Suede, The Verve and Pulp are all heard pretty regularly on music stations and radio, in bars etc.

Mat Osman is their bass player and was always in Suede. I'm sure you meant Richard Oakes though and yeah it's with him instead of with Bernard Butler.

yeah was just about to point out that it's "Bernard", not "Brett"

always thought Mat was the replacement guitarist

what's your beef against Richard Oakes, he's a good guitarist. Not as good as Butler, but he plays the Butler-era songs very well and I think he does really well on Coming Up plus he has some good tracks on Sci-Fi Lullabies e.g. Europe is Our Playground and Sound of the Streets.

Coming Up is not as good as Dog Man Star or Suede, but it's still pretty beast

not much "beef" against him

the albums without Butler lack that magic, that's all

Much more the 80s than the 90s I'd say.

Depends on what you were listening too and where you were (if that makes sense). The eighties had a huge amount of catchy synth pop coming out of GB (plus every other music genre). The 90s had a great amount of poppy/alternative tunes coming out of GB that seemed more influenced by grunge music than anything else. But I would not neccesarily say that there was any less coming out of GB in the 90s...although the eighties stuff imho was a lot more original sounding.

Not saying the 90s were any less in terms of likability though.

I was in Britain. I just think the New Wave scene seems to me to have been quite prolific and deep both in the charts and outside the charts. Also I like more of the famous stuff in New Wave than I do in Britpop.

synth-pop's where it's at, darlings

x2

There's nothing wrong with Suede's later albums if you like that sort of thing.
They just lost their edge a bit when Butler left.

I was stuck on another island in the Atlantic :) But I agree with you. Many of the songs that are considered new wave seem better written on the whole than those that made up the nineties Britpop. But than most of the music that I consider "pop" during the nineties is just that..poppy and catchy but not meant to be much more than that.

Might as well start posting some of the New Wave and Britpop. Nice to see it again at least.
