Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain

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.

[@SuperBroonie]

Did Suede mention any of the other bands on the nude label in their book? I played drums in a band called Sunfish in the 1990s who went on to be signed by nude records and changed their name to Geneva. Before I Joined Sunfish they used a drum machine. I always wondered in my narcisism if Suede had maybe created the lyric "Psycho for drum machine" after me lol.

[@markgreet3543]

@@SuperBroonie no idea.

[@AllThePiecesMatter_]

I started buying all the Beatles albums in 1994 at 16/17 years old as a direct consequence of this music, particularly when i first heard Live Forever. This led to a fascination with '60's music, art, culture and politics which carries on for me today. Because i was in my mid to late teens during "britpop", the music of the time was absolutely thrilling to me. I was a fan of both Oasis and Blur but ultimately preferred Pulp. I see this era now as the last moment of unashamed positivity in british culture within the arts, but, like i said, i was the right age for it and im sure much younger people might disagree and point to their own musical eras.

[@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! 😆

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."

[@johnmorris1009]

It was an era that produced great music. Lots of inventiveness, riffs, memorable gigs and festivals and performances, great albums, great songs. It's never been equalled since. They were better times too. Despite the economic slump of the early to mid 90s, there was always hope and for a while, Blair represented that (how wrong we were, but it was nice to have that illusion!). The world was, on the whole, a more peaceful and better place.

Good luck with that one. Spice Girls were brought together through auditions..but then fucked off their tinpot management & went it on their own before landing Simon Fuller. They had songwriters yes. Who cares? They are the ones who got the songs over. You can’t manufacture their energy & charisma. Liam Gallagher wasn’t a songwriter..but Oasis would never have made it without him. Music is music. How it all came together before it is pressed on to warm vinyl is irrelevant. The song is IT. I get it. Some people are scared of glittery pop music. Or It’s just not their thing. But the Spice Girls, in any universe are an infinitely better group than the gravy in human form that is Shed bloody Seven.

Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen say hello. Britain couldn’t touch them in the 1980’s.

[@Kaiserbill99]

@@StuartBenson-ih3dn Madonna is all image and not so much about the music, Bruce Springsteen surprisingly really did not make a big impact on UK charts, and Prince has ironically become more popular since the 1980s. But re the 1980s I raise you with Queen, Phil Collins, Duran Duran, Culture Club, Eurythmics, Elton John, The Smiths, George Michael, Bowie, Tears For Fears, The Police, Iron Maiden, Stevie Winwood, the Cure, The Clash and I could go on and on. And in terms of influence I am not sure what influence any of these bands took from the US. The early 1980s in UK were dominated by synth bands you probably will not have heard of like Human league, Gary Numan, OMD, and Depeche Mode and later the Pet Shop Boys or by Scar bands like The Specials or The Selector or even Madness . Then there were the New Romantics including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, or Japan. And by the mid 1980s we had the high production values of George Michael, Steve Winwood, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel. The late 1980s were dominated by the S.A.W. music factory label of catchy pop like Rick Astley. These artists were influenced by Caribbean migrant sounds, German synth music, the Beatles/Kinks/Stones, and British art college scene and most definitely not by the stale crap coming out of the US.

[@StuartBenson-ih3dn]

@@Kaiserbill99 Many of those acts had peaked or petered out by the mid 80s to be fair. I’m not saying the UK didn’t have massive artists back then. I’m just saying we did look to the US. Madonna (who most definitely is about music as well as image. Like a Prayer from ‘89 is a better record than anything the acts you mentioned produced in the 80’s). MJ & Madonna were by some distance the biggest performers of the decade. You do have a point about Bruce though. He was a stadium filler here..but had surprisingly few chart hits in the UK.

[@Kaiserbill99]

Just because Madonna and MJ were popular in the UK does not mean they influenced British music any more than the Spice Girls or One Direction influenced US music. Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Black Blues influenced the British music of the 1960s but from then on British music has been where it's at. If you had to name the greatest 10 bands of all time they would probably be all British and from the 1960s onwards.

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!!
