Stinky bands!

no contest. always had a soft spot for Shed 7 (some really great singles & excellent live) but Reef were absolute toilet.

when 'Place Your Hands' used to come on in clubs/pubs it would gain the same enthusiastic reception Nickelback's 'How You Remind Me' does more recently. :(
 
Bands like The Charlatans, The Verve, and even Oasis were good fun at the time. I wouldn't like them if they came out now, but as a soundtrack to trying to get served, smoking diesel hash, skiving school, trying to get tops n fingers etc etc it was good
 
The guitarist from Shed Seven is on my fuck tree :(

But Reef were the worst out of the two.
 
Reef were good in a retro-unoriginal way .... their live shows were cracking.

Shed Seven didn't arouse feelings of either like or dislike in me, to be honest.
 
firky, spiritualised were pretty good, but hardly britpop...

Nah they're not but it was of that time, was thinking out loud. Tehre was some good music around: portishead, tricky, ok computer, prodigy were still good etc.

oh yeah, hiccup likes the wonderstuff :D
 
It's a close run thing in the poll at the moment, unsurprisingly given how shit they both were. However I urge you all to meditate upon the horrific zombie anthem that was 'Put your hands up' so that you may vote correctly :)

Chris. Fucking. Evans.

i liked portishead - though i've discovered, every time i've put 'dummy' on recently, that i have no interest in hearing them ever again.:confused:

i think their overuse in the 'this life' soundtrack may have ruined them for me. :(

Agree with you there - I worked in a lab the year it came out and it was the only music everyone could agree on, so it was on permanent repeat for a whole summer. :(

Great stuff, but after a couple of months rotation anything will start to grate.
 
They all sound slightly dated and of that era. Like New Order and Depeche Mode etc. sound really eighties.
 
Knowing only of your tastes what I have learnt from your presence on Urban, that really surprises me.

Pulp were ace and Different Class is one of the few seminal, nay, transcendent albums born of the oft maligned "brit-pop" (ugh) oeuvre.

Oh RD - you are teh wrongun.

:(

Really? They always really irritated me. The only one I liked was "This is Hardcore" and I know that wasn't really typical of their sound.
 
I don't like Oasis very much but I do like Wonderwall and Gaspanic (and maybe Stop Crying Your Heart Out but I am not going to tell anyone that).
 
Reef - First album was good. I have some of their very first singles on vinyl and they had some great b-sides too. All the laterday stuff was a bit pants though.

Shed Seven - likewise. Their last album was rubbish but the Going For Gold (The Greatest Hits album) was a quality collection of tunes which I listen to a lot still.
 
Then there was Kula Shaker :(

Ah yes, Kula Shaker, who proved that even when you think the depths of nauseating tedium have been reached by Shed Seven and Reef, and the heights of arrogance reached by the Gallagher brothers, there's always some band who're more useless, and a frontman who's a bigger pissflap.
 
Not a fan of Shed 7 as such but Chasing Rainbows, Going For Gold and Standby were top tunes. Kate Nash and The Feeling are far more annoying.
