Never a fan of Ocean Colour Scene.

The Verve were quite cool but I only really liked the one song by them, which was History.

I don't consider The Verve as 'britpop' because in doing so would be a disservice.

They are a 'psychedelic rock' band and, quite simply, one of the best bands of the 90s.

'History' is atmospheric. Disregard Urban Hymns and instead listen to their first two: A Storm in Heaven and A Northern Soul.

I do wonder what all these Britpop artists are doing these days.

Maybe not the likes of Liam and Jarvis etc, but the ones lower down the food chain, like the members of Kingmaker and Sleeper for example.

They were doing 90s revival gigs with a pr company called starshaped along with the bluetones, dodgy, space and cast to name but a few. Very well attended and reasonably priced too.

I'd say no.

They started as your typical techno band (remember Charley and Out of Space) but developed into something a lot more heavy, maybe even industrial.

Feel another thread needed to bebate:-

US vs UK - which country has produced better music?

In all seriousness American popular music has been the dominant influence in music around the planet since jazz and blues started to spread about a 100 years ago.

Some would argue, the United States has produced the better music...

For me it's simply down to personal preferences, I've an eclectic taste and like all kinds of music from all over the World, be it soul, country, jazz, dance, classic, rock, etc. I couldn't care less which country produced it. If it sounds good to me and I enjoy then it's all good.

luv British artists like John Lennon, bands like Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Prodigy, etc.

Not so keen on the music produced after 1990's (1950's to 1990 - best music artists produced). Worldwide.

Apparently the Stone Roses are considered Britpop.

But id disagree. As would most Roses fans.

They were part of the Madchester/Baggy scene.

Along with the brilliant Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets

And James too.

Id suggest the Britpop culture started after the Roses.

Im a bit shocked, but no ones mentioned the amazing Placebo yet!!

I never even considered Placebo.

Maybe because I thought they wer American.

As for Baggy bands, I never saw anything special in what they were doing.

James had a few good songs, The Charlatans, Inspiral Carpets and Roses one good song each, and The Happy Mondays completely over-rated.
