Stripey Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Anyone watch this documentary last night on BBC4? It was really pretty insightful, quite inspiring, and reminded me of being a schoolkids again. The guy narrating it made a good point about how britpop went from all this idealistic optimism and self-confidence, to insipid, limp, anodyne rubbish like coldplay and the like.

Stripey Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 echobelly - great things, is a cool song. Also the lead singer is a cute little dwarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Britpop had only three good bands, Pulp, Suede and Mansun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I still listen to Mansun quite a lot..... beautiful.Their first album was ace, the rest I wasn't keen on. I actually found a stack of CD singles by Mansun from Take It Easy Chicken through to Taxloss, all posters etc included. Must consult e-bay for interest, I never listen to them....EDIT - That's found at home, not in a random location... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARC Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Consult me instead of Ebay, if you are gonna offer them at reasonable prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ok, will check out condition and so on and exactly what I have, pretty sure all the 2 CD sets were complete but we are talking ten years ago and I sometimes forget shit from ten minutes ago....

Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Have seen this before, but was more interested in the repeat of "Britpop Now!" as I can remember watching it at the time and I'm fairly sure I still have it on video somewhere.Lots of great singles from this era, few great albums. But it was a great time, 95 and 96 especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
