Pulp were brilliant.
As much as I want to dislike Oasis, it was a good time to have that competitiveness amongst that grouping.
Sort of miss it, now.

I honestly didn't give them a chance, when that famous album came out (whats the story morning glory?) I thought every song sounded like a copy of a beatles song.

I was probably wrong but that is why i never gave them a chance.

Stone Roses were Madchester not Britpop. They did serve as a big influenced on the majority of Britpop bands though

Madchester.:)
Not f...ing wrong there. :thumbsu:

Didn't they just get it right. Still pull out the old eponymous album every now and then.

Love those crazy Brits.
 
Stone Roses were definitely pre-Britpop which was mid 90s with Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Supergrass etc.

I liked Oasis more than Blur in the Britpop years but prefered Blur's later stuff to Oasis later stuff. Didn't mind Supergrass but didn't really like Pulp at all, Jarvis Cocker just seemed like such a pretentious w***er.
 
Nicky's right. Pulp were the greatest. I saw them live in the 90's and they were great, and a few weeks ago at Festival Hall they were amazing.

On a side note... Documentary Heaven is a great place to kill some time.

Blur, Suede, Oasis... none of them topped this:

Wow - I don't always agree with what you see but I reckon you are one of the better posters on BF. Now this !!!!!!

Jarvis Cocker would be the only Yorkshireman I can think of that is cooler than me. :D

The Blur-Oasis thing was pretty funny. It was as if Oasis were taking their Beatles fixation one step further and trying to compete with the Beatles-Stones competition.

I actually love Oasis early albums. Love Blurs early stuff. Love The Stone Roses early stuff. There were just some great great sounds coming out of Britain for a long time.

Nicky, I agree - American >> British
 
I waste a bit of time on documentary heaven WTL.


I know some others who think jarvis is a w***er but I reckon he's great. I would put Damon Alban in a higher w***er category than Jarvis (re: still really love parklife and great escape)
I also loved sleeper so it was good to see them make this documentary too.

Jim Docker, i don't know the guy, but in this documentary he makes a statement along the lines of "before brit pop us brits had lost our confidence whereas the Americans had buckets of it but no talent."

'Second Coming' came out when britpop was starting to happen but it was a bloated mess. Still went and saw them when they came to perth to tour that album though and was blown away.

I preferred a lot of the shoegazy stuff to britpop. Ride and Swervedriver were two fantastic bands. But you can't discount Pulp, Teenage Fanclub etc. The later Blur albums were fantastic too. Oasis can go eat a bag of dicks. Ever have a mate who was a huge Oasis fan and was convinced that every time they had a new album out it would be 'just as good as Morning Glory and a return to form'. They weren't.

No they didn't. His voice and lyrics make his songs very sexy. No wonder he annoys half the male population. Half of his songs are dedicated to another guys girlfriend :D I love jarvis.

It wasn't just Jarvis Cocker that put me off Pulp, I didn't really like their music either.

Two of their biggest hits here were Disco 2000 and Common People and I couldn't stand either of them, didn't help that they got thrashed on the radio.

Yeah Disco 2000 was overrated, i didn't care for it nearly as much as their other songs. I loved common people though.

Not meaning this as something against either of the posters above (you're probably both aware of Pulp's history if you've ever been fans of them), but why does the fact that the band was around for 17 years and had released four other albums before Different Class always seem to get overlooked or forgotten by so many?
 
I guess it's no widely known that they formed in 1978 Damon, however I'm sure most fans know that they were around before different class.

Except that it is widely known that Blur initiated the competition by moving their single release date to coincide with the release of Oasis's 'Roll With It'. They also schedualed their tours around the time to be in close vicinity to places Oasis was playing on the same date.

Anyway here is an humorous moment (around 1:16) from the rivalry

Lulz :D:thumbsu:

I heard "Parklife" on Triple J while I was driving this afternoon too. Was kind of surprised to hear it, as Triple J don't seem to play that much older stuff (makes me feel like I'm getting old just saying that, as I can remember when it came out, even though I was only 6 at the time) in their everyday programming now.
 
Noel and Liam are the ultimate trolls, if Oasis needed publicity for an upcoming album they would have a pretend spat with themselves or Damon Albarn.

They could still produce the odd good song if they put their minds to it though.
