Who Were The Best Bands Of 90s Britpop? (alternative, indie)

Rainard Jalen · 02-15-2008, 01:56 PM

Just how many bands of that movement can really be described as great? Obvious nominees are Blur and Oasis. Suede started off a great band.

Who else can be said to have made a really worthy contribution to music?

Rock and Metal section???

Well. I mean, if Oasis makes it to the Rock section, I don't see why not. Britpop is rock music at the end of the day; aside from that it was very mainstream, and most of it was major label too. So I see it as more rock than indie/alternative.

I'll add Pulp to this. I have no idea how I could have forgotten them.

Oasis in the Rock & Metal category....NO!, In my personal opinion. Indie/Alternative....Yes. I like Oasis alot as a band, They could be classified as one of the core bands within there style of music. (in my opinion) They have been around a long time & so many other bands have tried to copy there sound & style. One of the great British Bands-Oasis.

Well no doubt about Oasis. I'm interested in seeing how many forgotten gems there are. If any.

Everyone here knows of Bittersweet Symphony... it has been used on a bank ad which is slightly ironic given the lyrics. But I doubt many have heard any other Verve songs.

The Verve. Yes, I dont remember the particular song. It must have been a good song because I remember the band.
