Daft Punk, Homework or Discovery?

Homework 365 days of the year.

For me, Homework & Leftfield’s Leftism are 2 of the most defining moments in the history of electronic music.

Absolute sonic perfection. And still as good today as the day they were released.

Meanwhile today’s generation has David Guetta.

So much for the choooooooone "only music thread allowed in afterhours"....

Oasis were a miserable bunch, Blur were more chilled out, but for me the best BritPop band of that time were Pulp

Pulp were incredible, but they were about since 77 or 78, well before britpop.

Blur FTW

Look at the mad looking head on Liam Gallagher. He looks like some sort of escaped 1960's sex deviant/perv who's travelled forward in time.

Oasis

There really is no comparison. Oasis were a rock band, Blur weren't. Oasis were incredible live. Listen to the live album Familiar to Millions. Noel Gallagher is a huge talent & a wonderful writer. The Beatles clone criticism is stupid - the Beatles were only a rock band in their early days.

Noel's new album Who Built the Moon is remarkable & will be seen as a great album in the future.

Speed or E's?

Nickleback ruined both the bands careers. Far superior.

I agree. Saw Noel live last month and he's great.

Oasis ripped off a heap of songs. That taints them in my book.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants alone is an extremely turgid pile of muck of an album.

It started off promisingly with Fcuking in the Bushes, but ended up a big disappointment - the first and last time I bothered to get an album on release date.

Hercule Poirot · 22-04-2018 09:07PM

Was always partial to bit of Blur and never really had much time for Oasis

But the more serious question is: Chemical Brothers or The Prodigy?

buried · 22-04-2018 09:12PM

Blur.

Aphex Twin's 'Blur' that is

Try_harder · 22-04-2018 09:13PM

Shangela or Ben De la?

And some of the new tracks are a bugger to play live - even with a French Bird playing the scissors

Then that taints thousands of bands. The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Kinks etc all ripped of early bluesmen. Music has reached the point where you can find something almost identical if you are willing to search hard enough

Akrasia · 22-04-2018 09:55PM

Pulp

Ah, the music died the other day with Big Tom!

Everybody ripped off everybody really. The only British act from the 80's/90's that I think didn't rip off anyone was White House. White House are f**king class, wouldn't be for everyone, but they are one act that didn't rip anyone off from the get go. Pump it UP, don't just sit there, chatting amicably

Blur. Better, more varied body of worm although Oasis had the better singles in the early day.

Super Furry Animals are better than them both though.

Sile Na Gig · 22-04-2018 10:50PM

I was firmly in the Blur camp back in the day but liked Oasis too...remember putting on a ‘disguise’ to go see Oasis at the Point so I wouldn’t out myself as a Blur fan (childish melodrama, the rivalry was mostly manufactured to the benefit of both bands). Nowadays I listen to Blur fairly regularly, Oasis not at all but I still get a special tingle when I hear Champagne Supernova. Also agree that there were so many other great bands from that era that deserve equal/higher recognition. Pulp have already been mentioned, also the Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead, Belle & Sebastian...I could go on...

Well you have your Block Rockin Beats and Setting Sun vs Breathe and No Good (Start The Dance), so I can't answer that.

buried · 22-04-2018 10:58PM

The Chemical Brothers made some of the best tracks of the 90's using 'Britpop' artists. Like this one here. This is a F**king brilliant track and song.

cantdecide · 22-04-2018 11:05PM

This too, of course...
