Damon's singing style in Blur sounds very working class, and songs like Girls & Boys are about working class lad culture. I don't see anything about them that would make them middle class

Zlad! Vevo "Oasis was successful in US unlike Blur which were only successful in UK except Song 2!" Where Oasis anywhere near as big as Nirvana were back in the day? In the UK, Oasis and Blur were the two biggest bands of an entire Britpop scene that dominated the UK charts and the rivalry was just like Nirvana v Pearl Jam in the US before them. Nirvana and Pearl Jam were successful in the UK, but there was no rivalry with Pearl Jam. IIRC all Oasis were known for in the US was having shoes thrown at them on stage.

The Stone Roses debut album was too early for Britpop, as was the Charlatans 'The Only One I Know'

[@notmartin-v2k]

I don't think Americans will ever *fully* understand British 90s and 2000s music, however, I hope they can enjoy it. That said, Bittersweet Symphony should NOT have been top. Common People or Live Forever are the songs that represent the working class Britain waaaay more.

[@abnerdiaz2182]

Martin Hare as an American I completely understand. However, I’ll say British people won’t even come close to understanding Kurt Cobain’s impact on music. We had our own movement with politics, society, sports, movies, etc. Even our pop music was ripping the charts in the 90’s. But grunge hit us like a nuclear bomb that took our world as we knew it and flipped it upside down. It wasn’t until Kurt’s death in 94’ and Oasis’ coincidental album drop in 94’ that we payed attention to it. So yes, we don’t understand, but we had our own stuff going on with grunge.

I still listen and rock to a lot of songs from the 1960s. Love The Kinks, plus Paul Revere and the Raiders, for instance.

The Verve frontman announced on Thursday that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones have granted him all future royalties from the 1997 hit "Bitter Sweet Symphony," which samples a version of a Stones song. "This remarkable and life-affirming turn of events was made possible by a kind and magnanimous gesture from Mick and Keith, who have also agreed that they are happy for the writing credit to exclude their names and all their royalties derived from the song they will now pass to me," he said in a statement.The announcement puts an end to one of the most famous copyright disputes in British pop history. Shortly after the song's release, longtime Stones manager Allen Klein famously sued Ashcroft over the songwriting royalties from "Bitter Sweet Symphony." The song samples an orchestral version of the Rolling Stones' 1965 "The Last Time," whose copyright was owned by Klein's company ABKCO Records. The portion sampled, written by arranger David Whitaker, is not part of the Stones' original song though. The Stones agreed to license a five-note segment, but Klein later claimed that the Verve voided the agreement as they used a larger portion of "The Last Time." As a result, Ashcroft had to sign over his songwriting royalties to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards -- who were both mentioned in the song's credit. Following the decision, the Verve frontman stated that "Bitter Sweet Symphony" "is the best song Jagger and Richards have written in 20 years." Speaking as he received a lifetime achievement prize at the Ivor Novello Awards, Ashcroft thanked everyone involved in the deal: "my management Steve Kutner and John Kennedy, the Stones manager Joyce Smyth and Jody Klein (for actually taking the call), lastly a huge unreserved heartfelt thanks and respect to Mick and Keith. Music is power." (www.thejakartapost.com/life/2019/05/26/rolling-stones-pass-bitter-sweet-symphony-songwriter-royalties-to-richard-ashcroft.html)
