Meenzer 14031 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Skid Row, now there was a band. Well, a band with about three good songs. But damn those songs were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 He's mint. Saw his Glastonbury set and have had both albums on nonstop since. Why do none of you sons of bitches tell me about these good people? The new Father John Misty is brilliant. It's suggest you subscribe to get more great recommendations from your old pal here.

strawb 3659 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 About time you got on to Father John Misty, Gemmill. For anyone that's heard the Tame Impala new one, are you having the same reaction as me? As in, finding the production and the songs really interesting for about half of their run-time and then getting very bored? Maybe I need to be absolutely spangled. The Bird and Bee's new album is enjoyable, mind. 35 minutes, very tightly crafted new wave songs. Yes! Hard to describe but not grabbing me like the last. TBF I have just been listening to Fat White Family for about a year so my taste might be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm enjoying the new Tame Impala much more than the last two. I lost interest in them very quickly. I'm liking the new Destroyer more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them a lot better than their contemporaries but I'm a 3 minutes and done, power pop kind of man. Saying that, I love Suede's first two albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Suede and Dog Man Star are both brilliant albums. I like Supergrass (Caught By The Fuzz being a particular favourite) but Blur come out of the whole britpop thing the best for me ahead of Pulp and Suede. Mainly because they all weren't really the same as Oasis and all the rest. Think Tank is possibly my favourite Blur ahead of Parklife though.

I'd pick some different albums from some of the same artists though (Original Pirate Material and Wish You Were Here being the main two). Was listening to Grace earlier, amazing album.

They should have hung up their instruments after Leisure for mine. Britpop has a lot of musical crimes to answer for, mainly the manslaughter of shoegaze/dreampop and the destruction of Creation Records. http://thudhk.bandcamp.com/album/floret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Good idea that. I've never thought of listing all of my "favourites" in one place. I only use smart/auto playlists, so they always have hundreds of songs from albums I don't otherwise like. Just switched to musicbee though and used the 5 star album rating to come up with this one. What surprised me choosing the albums was no Beatles, no James Brown & no Jonny Cash. 3 of my favourite artists, but nothing springs out as albums I love from start to finish without skipping, not even Greatest Hits.

He got sober and sold it to Sony iirc. Great auteur (for want of a better word) but a shite businessman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great auteur (for want of a better word) but a shite businessman. There is also that story about how Oasis wanted more money from Creation and when he said there was none they gave him a list of bands to drop from the label or they were going to leave. You're correct McGee lost the plot but Britpop started his decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct McGee lost the plot but Britpop started his decline. I'd not heard that but there was a major cull at some point including 18 wheeler and Travis I think, there were others too. Am not sure its accurate to claim that Britpop killed Creation, for me it was just another step in early 90s process in which the media changed the alternative into the mainstream.

I'm a huge fan of Swervedriver, who were ond of the bands the Gallaghers demanded were dropped, MBV were another because Liam didn't like there stuff. In recent interview with Adam Franklin he said when Britpop happened Creation's offices went from being somewhere they all knew each other to being filled with complete strangers who didn't even know most of the bands on the label. It wasn't the end but it was the start of decline. It's a sad world when Andy Bell is better know as Oasis's bass player than as one of the founders of Ride.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3194 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Quick question. As an old fart who likes bands like, joy division, the clash, happy mondays, nirvana, green day and other non mainstream artists. Who is new and exciting on the scene?

The period you're describing is after the sale to Sony though, of course it was going to get corporate and faceless. Have you read McGee's book?... The "official" line is MBV took more than half a decade to record "Loveless" nearly bankrupting the label, making a corporate sale more than likely. Ride fizzled out, Swervedriver didn't have any real "fizz" iyam..after the money troubles the likes of Slowdive and Swervedriver were always going to be under threat..
