In a room/ Dodgy

[@williammain4769]

One of the hidden gems of the 90s... I don't think this ever got the air play it deserved... A great track from a great album.

[@MunkiZee]

I remember hearing the chorus a lot at least

[@crypto_bull]

Yes.

[@justmadeit2]

This is a really great song . Nice Keith Moon style drumming, anyway, if you are reading this, id love you to check out the Poem that i wrote about Rock Stars. Simply just type in the following title to the search bar above.....Poem Rock Stars

[@r_unner_G]

This song was huge in the UK in spring/summer 1996

[@BilisNegra]

Considering I was familiar with it here in Spain, not sure if your assertion holds true.

[@BrendanJohnDoherty]

Probably one of the strongest tunes of the BritPop era. So tight and the drummer has got his shit together, big time. Yes, a fantastic song. Truly worthy of The Who status, without a doubt! The whole band killed it!

[@limericklad3944]

@George Duffy yeah I remember hearing them for the first time when I was about 15. Great band.

[@sunilcunningham3080]

The drummer is the tighest of paradiddle kings.

[@leethomas9549]

Not just the drummer, great bass line

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Nigel Clark the singer regularly visits my old cafe in my town but I keep missing him.

[@jayp631]

I was so glad when this song came out. I'd had enough of the Beatle-esque Oasis tunes even though i'm a Beatle fan. It's one of the finest Who type tracks ever recorded......

[@peteblencowe8574]

Okay, I’m gonna say it…THE finest pop song of the 90’s. Never gets old.

[@nicholasflay8819]

Agree 100% - Pete Townsend & Keith Moon would have been proud to have called this their work

God I loved the Shine albums! Was always a in HMV seeing if a new one was out. They started coming out in ‘95 when I was 25. Truly the soundtrack to my youth.

[@spinjennies]

Criminally ignored in the U.S. One of the best Britpop bands. Ever.

[@mkprocter882]

free peace sweet is a banger of an album

[@tramlad2]

The Pete Townsend guitar solo , brilliant

[@migueldecarvalho8012]

The drums give The Who vibes - that's a great thing! This aged very well. Again, amazing drums.

[@lukeknowles9267]

What an intro, one of the best drum fills on any intro aswell. What a track!

[@thegloryyears2907]

Saw and met Matt the Drummer when he drummed with Ian McNabb and The Icicle Works on one of their anniversary tours. Great drummer and nice bloke 👍

[@sonnerthebest1]

Honestly Dodgy are an absolutely fucking awesome band. Amazing melody to their songs. They should have been absolutely massive!!

[@steveforest8385]

Their finest tune by a long chalk IMHO. Deserved to be a much bigger hit than it was.

[@tramlad2]

superb song, and some shit hot drumming, class little band, and so sadly overlooked, they were so tight.

[@leejoliver]

great band - saw them 3 or 4 years in a small venue and they were still good.

[@vlobster7660]

Totally agree William,,,the drumming is fantastic!!!

[@Optics2024]

What was average and overlooked in the 90’s is musical genius today P.s decent drumming.... if you appreciate great drumming though listen to Jimmy Chamberlain’s absolute quality for the Smashing Pumpkins on their debut album Gish, different class 👍🏻

[@tramlad2]

@@Optics2024 Love the Pumpkins, amazing band every member a superb musician great taste

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

1996 ruled for music and this was one of my most favourite records of that year, very good early summer hit. 😊😀

[@CanalPSG]

Paul John Leadbeater This one, and "Grateful when you're dead" from Kula Shaker. 1996 did not get any better than these.

[@desertrose1226]

CanalPSG oh bloody hell! I remember Kula Shaker when I was a kiddo..mum liked em. Tattiva or something was one I remember from them!

[@Uberbets]

That opening drum fill though

[@Adulteducation8]

I’m in NY , MTV NEVER aired this video. Thank goodness from 95 til 2000, my cable carrier carried Much Music from Toronto, and they played this and Good Enough. This is SUCH a great, powerful song, and it did NOTHING in the US. Thank you, Much Music, and you helped me discover so many other great UK (and Canadian) artists. I miss MM

[@PurpleShaman121]

It's great to know that some Americans have heard some britpop music :) in a room is a favourite 90s song of mine next to Elastica's waking up x

[@desertrose1226]

Wish it was 1995 again. I hate modern times. I hate 2020. I hate Coronavirus. This is brilliant. True essence of the 90s

[@dawngayle82]

This is why I loved the 90s. Such good rifts, melodies and incredibly talented musicians! I loved and still love this band 😍

[@doriangreyification]

in a room probabaly one of the greatest songs ever writen!!

[@gronxman1]

This came out just as I was doing my GCSEs... brings back so many memories. Listening to it all these years later my first thought is 'what amazing musicians these guys were' (and probably still are for all I know)

[@jonathanburley8040]

The drummer is great on this track.x

[@gasmanrus]

Jonathan Burley didn’t he always wear a hat

[@gronxman1]

Matthew Priest on drums! He lives in Wilton near Salisbury and is a drum teacher among other things

[@juliedonnachie9714]

I'm a mature listener...loved it then and still dance around to it on a weekend. TRUE TESTIMONY TO A TUNE ...

[@lapisredux]

the drummer has got his shit together.

[@mrb7094]

And a great harmony singer too!

[@vlobster7660]

This guitar solo is one of my favourites of all time...magical!!!

[@HarryFlashman.]

This lot weren't my bag at all in the 90's. But you've got to hold your hand up and say that this is a belting song - one of my guilty pleasures🙂

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

Absolutely superb song from my childhood. God I severely miss the 90's what a decade to be young. Also, it cant only be me tbat hears so much of The Who through the song. If it was just the band playing then it become even clearer.

[@mrb7094]

Love love love the middle eight. Woke up to it in 96 (I think) and it's stayed with me for 20 years. Thanks.

[@misterbonzoid5623]

Fantastic drumming and guitar solo

[@stevenhawkyard9771]

Outstanding song from a great band.

[@sunilcunningham3080]

Genius lyric... She lies sleeping in a half filled bed, her eyes No longer study her emptiness In a room there's only so much space (So much space) Two souls playing in loneliness

[@davidwordsworth3716]

Agreed. Perfect.

[@users32471]

i remember this group. drummer matthew always wore a hat during their live performances. their other hits included 'staying out for the summer' and 'good enough'. classic indie / alternative tune :)

[@stanmonzon5788]

Thank you for your input.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

How can they be ‘indie’ if they were on a major?

[@garyhenson117]

One of the great adrenaline rushes of the Britpop era, up there with "Ready to Go" by Republica. Criminally underrated (even to this day, judging by the paltry number of views of this the official video, views which by now should be in seven figures at the very least).

[@MrChris1978moleman]

That drummer is worth his weight in gold....and he doesn't look light

[@quadropheniaguy9811]

I thoroughly agree. One of the great songs of the decade.

[@janiebell5574]

Goosebumps!!! What an absolute anthem 💪💪👏👏👏 It doesn't get better than this!

[@tramlad2]

Brilliant tune from a cracking band, who somehow went under the radar, shame because they could really rock out live.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

william mcmonagle I literally have no idea how I knew about this band because I was in the States and we had JUST gotten the internet a year or two before I heard this for the first time (I see this came out in '96, I think I found it in '99). I mean we had dial-up and I was downloading pirated mp3s wherever I could find them which was pre-Napster. I was the only one at my high school who was into music like this but American pop was so incredibly awful in the late '90s it was like the only thing I could listen to that wasn't awful lol.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

I remember Dodgy, Hurricane #1 and a band whose name was just A lol.

[@spiral-m]

I get a surge of energy listening to this. Has to be one of the most overlooked gems. Incredible.

[@stevengammon2202]

One of the greatest drummers ever❤

glad to read " The Who " comments ,I've always thought that about this band

[@rayzor1959]

fantastic sound

[@garywalling4341]

Deffo one of the most under-rated bands of the 90's, started off as a Who tribute band hence the comparisoms, f**k I miss the late 90's. Actually f**k I miss REAL music.😭😭

[@MrGuypeters]

Good song to evoke memories of the indian summer of my youth in 1996 - when 28! Perhaps I should've been busy settling down and making babaies by then but what the hell, I'm glad I wasn't now, looking back - else I'd have probably missed all this classy Britpop era!! :-)

[@Scallion_D]

Not having kids at 28 is great.

[@desertrose1226]

Lol 28 is very young when you’re 35! This is the true tail end of youth & it’s well over once your 45!

[@MrGuypeters]

Lol, I can't remember typing half of these things on KZbin comments sections a few years ago but what I said in 2013 still resonates! I'm 51 now - so I now realise that even 'tail end youth' is long gone! I try to still look and keep young though by maintaining a positive outlook and keep highly active :-)

[@carlblyth8479]

i saw dodgy at reading festival in the 90s...great band...when i dig deeper some songs remind me of the Beatles...

[@steveforest8385]

More 'The Who' than the Beatles.

[@ojwatts2647]

One of my favourite bands of all time. God I miss the 90's. As soon as the 00's came round, music took a massive nose dive and has in my opinion, never recovered. Each member of this band are awesome musicians, songwriters and performers. I really do miss the 90's. When bands were proper bands.

[@TheIkaraCult]

Lovely tune, I remember hearing this back when I was a kid and really loving it

Reminds me of the Hollies. Both great bands

[@stevejauncey1461]

God how good is this

[@jesselaurencemusic]

This is very impressive!

[@cowsongs]

I instantly thought "The Who" after the intro. But really, the more I listen to this, it's really just the rhythm of the song and the drumming that makes them sound so much like The Who. The vocals and guitars do not sound like The Who. The bass playing is a harder decision. I think the *tone* of his bass sounds Who-ish, but he isn't a busy player like Entwistle. He sticks more to the rhythm and root notes while Entwistle would mix it up with more wandering melodic playing. It's a testament to how much the sound of the The Who was created by the drumming of Keith Moon.

[@josephking1947]

I was thinking the same...

[@stuartshire]

Guitar sounds totally like the who as well ! The song Pete Townshead wishes he'd written imo

[@juliedonnachie9714]

What a tune.....

[@oddities-whatnot]

Yes it could easily be a Who song.

[@gasparucciox9706]

true! but the guitar style is more west coast-ish...byrds , neil young, J.A

[@concretemode]

Gasparuccio X The guitars sound like The Zombies to me.

[@gasparucciox9706]

uh! i didn't notice the zombies influ..i'll listen again :)

[@lapisredux]

killer intro

[@nbyer4454]

I wonder 'Who' still thinks its one of the best songs of the 90s?
