Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain

[@tmarsden1878]

Probably the best description of Jarvis Cocker I have ever heard!? "The missing link between Mick Jagger and Alan Bennett" brilliant from Mark Radcliffe!!!

[@harleyquinn5826]

the fact that the verve is not here is such a crime

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

like this if you just searched across the video for the oasis parts. grew up on the britpop bands, but only one made you learn guitar and have your mates buy a bass geetar in argos , great great times!

[@IWannatalkpodcast]

Sean Ryder doesn't look too well, the 90s definitely took a toll on him. Liam and Noel still look great to say they lived through the craziest decade bar the 60s. I was 18 when I first heard Oasis and I've been hooked ever since

[@markgreet3543]

Lead singer of echobelly amazing looks, saw them live amazing, saw oasis once lost my ticket on the day, got another from a ticket tout they were decent. Britpop had gone by 1998 sad but end of a era.

[@spaceengineer1452]

I never thought of Justine as 'beautiful". Donna was beautiful...

[@VincentRE79]

The girls from Lush were beautiful.

[@markgreet3543]

Northern uproar were quite good, and so funny interviews not knowing what to say bless them😅

[@darrenwalshe8513]

90s can be more appreciated now, lets not forget trance music explosion ❤

[@oddy532]

Heard a few different versions of when Noel left the band in America. One in which a woman who was PA or some other role looked at the phone bill and found the number on of the lass he had been seeing and rang it aswell.

[@robwood8331]

Just all bands during that era it eas brilliant times. So many good good bands

[@dummytree]

I always find it unfair that Elastica took most of the blame for supposedly ripping off other people's songs. Oasis got some problems (with "i'd like to teach the world to sing" or Stevie Wonder's "Uptight") but not not to the same extent, with some songs not even mentioned. I've never heard or read anyone mentioning the chorus of the Darling Buds' "Tiny Machine" compared to the one in "Rock n' Roll Star" for example. Elastica is often reduced to the Wire/Stranglers controversies, but couldn't just be remembered for that. Their first album is brilliant (and I love Oasis too, don't get me wrong).

[@robwood8331]

Im 45 .46 in August. The bands from the 90s were superb

[@ramsey6681]

Oasis also got sued for "Whatever". They settled out of court and gave Neil Innes a writing credit on the song (ie, royalties) because they'd quite blatantly ripped off his track, "How Sweet To Be An Idiot". Which, as I absolutely hated Oasis for being massive plagiarists in general at the time, I thought to be quite apt! However, with age I've mellowed considerably and in the last decade I've come to appreciate what they did for British music. But they weren’t (aren't, and never will be) a patch on Reef! 🤟🏼😆

[@ramsey6681]

​@@robwood8331I'm 55 now and spent the whole of the 90's in bands (mostly a bit off the wall, so we never got any national radio/TV exposure or anything remotely financially beneficial!). What a time though! It was basically our generation's late 60s/early 70s. The music was fantastic (don't forget Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana etc. too), the scene was fantastic and everyone was absolutely in love with live music and songwriting as opposed to DJs pressing buttons. But after 15 or 20 years of mostly banal nonsense, it feels as though it's coming back around again. Britpop-era bands are quietly starting to tour again after years apart, and youngsters are starting to play music which harks back to when talent was important. I'm sorry - I don't mean to come across as a twat! I'm just more excited about music (again) than I have been in many years! 😆

Any luck putting the rest of these up? 🙏

Any chance you could send links to episodes 3 and 4 in this series?

[@markgreet3543]

I saw suede once 1996,very good still got my poster, first 2 albums are amazing way ahead of there time, after that they were ok but i think they did peak 1997-1998 but thanks for a few great years. I have my suede book as well which is a nice item and vhs tape which is good.

[@ElmoTheTellmo]

Thank you so much for uploading this, have been wanting to watch for a while. Do you have part 2?

[@davidnewman690]

Suede were a modern & sexier version of the Smiths, Pulp were the Fall, Blur was a dash of Kinks & XTC. Meanwhile Oasis would both be The Beatles & the Stones

[@robwood8331]

Owen Morris made Oasis .....he made them sound incredible

[@BarnsleyMatchdayDrinkers]

When was this made or broadcast please

[@davidnewman690]

It was first broadcast in March 2023. The first episode on the 12th.

[@hopebgood]

I finally got to watch Part Four of this earlier today by SkyQing it off C5 at about 4am after it suddenly got removed from their schedule a while back. It was all about the End of Britpop. It was really depressing cos it was all so true. The mid 90's was a fucking amazing time for music but you could feel it was fizzling out by 97, 98. I bought Be Here Now by Oasis the day it was released and remember thinking "This is...shit."

As each generation passes by they take stuff from generations that have gone by. - Noel Gallagher

[@user-bd2bh1cw3p]

I agree with you!!! Pop is Art in itself ❤!!!

[@markgreet3543]

Blur were not part of 18-30 club lot, they were just saying this is how young people are nowdays when abroad.

[@ramsey6681]

C'mon Alex. If you're going to dye the barnet you might as well do the boat as well!

[@garynicks5971]

Suede, blur, oasis gene, men’s wear elastica pulp etc we had fuck all before Brit pop

[@markgreet3543]

At least these people were young and honest away from that 18-30 club land lot.

[@robwood8331]

That Suede manager what a weirdo

[@garynicks5971]

Beg to differ 😂

[@234cheech]

the s was fucking great our sixties............its been utter shit since the last great musical movment

[@chazbakes5873]

oasis hooked up a playstation? in 1994

[@weeklyclose5322]

what about Shed Seven, Pulp, Supergrass, etc.🤨too one-sided for me, too much focus on the top acts, but for britpop it is much more than that

[@markgreet3543]

Yes i agree they focus on the ones that were more popular, there were many great bands of the genre.

[@stoopid79]

Soo jealous of Tim Wheelers accent…oh and his talent😇🤓

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

im from near where ash were formed, hes a great songwriter. but i dont think hes a great singer, however it doesnt matter because the songs are amazing. 'Sometimes' "Theres a star" are so underrated as songs

[@superfurrygaz1]

God knows how many times the word Britpop is mentioned in this, lets get one thing straight, there is and was no such thing as fuckin Britpop, anyone that uses this cringe word wasnt there and knows absolutely nothing about the 90s music scene, that term was invented by Stuart Maconie, and as far as I know, he doesnt dictate what an entire generation of bands get labelled as, especially a cringey shite label like that.

[@euanhosie]

Ooooooooh matron 🫢

[@tomwilko7841]

it's the perfect title...as soon as u saw it u knew exactly the time frame and which bands would be referred to here, what would be ur alternative word for the content on offer here?

[@robwood8331]

Oasis should nevr have sacked Tony McCarroll. They never ever sounded as punky again. Also Noel had spent a while writing supersonic proven thay he was working on it from his notebook that was auctioned off...so another white lie to hyoe the band

[@IWannatalkpodcast]

Mccarroll could have never done the 2nd album let alone the 3rd or 4th. He was right for that first album and even though ironically it's their best album without the following 3 records Oasis would only be classed as Britpop but they're bigger and much more important than Britpop. Oasis are in the top 10 bands of all time, can't say that about any other band from this era of music

[@philhippe5585]

Suede, the most overrated band ever.

[@mrironlunglungzielungzietv6697]

They literally had like 2 decent songs n for a Band that were lorded and backed by a big label promotion wise and money spent in studio time they really were a failure there wasn't a week that they weren't in the music press and fir a group with so little public love the money spent advertising made it seem that they were a lot more interesting and popular but go bk and look at the money made and they were Average at best literally the label spent money to make money and kept that up for like 3 years then trued to rely on sales which by then were not exactly making major moves all that's left is two songs people kind of remember and a lead singer that had a weird haircut lol there's so many great bands that came out of britpop before and after that didn't have the promotion or money spent backing them but the songs were so much better than suede that we have a whole collection of classic britpop tracks many that were gamechangers and did a lot more for English music than suede but there's always that haircut and the two songs bless them n I challenge anyone to name the band members of hand apart from Brett n yep that hair!!

[@MaxMacDonnell]

3 number one albums. Shush.

[@sexybeast4320]

​@@mrironlunglungzielungzietv6697they're incredible. So many good albums. I don't know the drummer but I can straight away name Bernard Butler matt osman and later Richard oakes

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

It didn't change Britain. It was a brief period in British music history. Not nearly as big, or as influential, as British 60s music, or the glam rock era, or punk rock, or the new romantics, or the grunge rock movement starting in the US, or the mod revival of the late 70s early 80s, or the NWOBHM etc etc....each one of these movements (and there's more) were more important and influential than 'Britpop'...one of the most overrated periods in music history.

[@RT-ks2zi]

Put the music encyclopaedia away Mike and chill oot

Relax man. You’re probably right though

[@troyphillips6481]

That’s kind of just your opinion as one person which really means nothing.

lol ok auld yin ! Music was shit in the 80s it all kicked of in the 90s , & the press coined the term Britpop its Indi music !
