iirc menswear's moment in the sun consisted of ripping off elastica ripping off wire.

This is between Ride and Geneva. I love Ride, but went with Geneva because they were always extremely underrated and are a much, much better band than everything on this list (Ride aside).

Rightly so.

Ah, didn't see Adorable there... but could have easily voted for Adorable too.

I didn't buy any of Geneva's singles, I did invest in their albums though... always thought they got a bit of a bum deal from people, I remember the lead singers voice was a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it thing. Surprised that Marion haven't been mentioned once in this thread so far.

Have had 'slight return' in my head for the past two days since seeing the RW blog post. A few weeks ago my parents and my o/h's parents unloaded a ton of boxes of our old stuff on us and we saw our CD collections for the first time in years. At least 50% of these are in there somewhere (not Northern Uproar though, never Northern Uproar)I saw someone doing karaoke to Menswe@r in San Francisco in 2012

btw Republica are playing in my town soon. They're not really akin to the rest but I did raise an eyebrow and furrow a ... brow

Marion's 1st album was good. Saw them live at t in the park 95 too (prob saw a lot of these britpop bands there but most weren't very good live but Marion & Menswe@r were as were Cast)
Voting Ride, even in britpop era Ride's Carnival Of Light was really good, not a patch on earlier albums however.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 22 March 2013 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
Saw Marion sometime in the past... 7 years? when they had their massive comeback
― kinder, Friday, 22 March 2013 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
Uh, they had a massive comeback?

xxxp huh, according to Wikipedia, almost exactly 7 years ago, I have a pretty finely tuned internal clock ... Which is actually why I'm such a good natural percussionist
― kinder, Friday, 22 March 2013 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
i still listen to, and enjoy, the menswe@r album (wasn't it rumoured that the band had little to do with it, and it was all production/sessioners etc). well, a couple of times a year.the rest, except curve and adorable of course, nah ..

you just realised its a best not worst poll?
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 22 March 2013 19:36 (eleven years ago) link
*head in hands*
Wonder what Symposium's Spotify stats are.
― Late night with Amazing Bo (MaresNest), Friday, 22 March 2013 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
Who the hell are most of these
robbie otm I'm sure
every time there's one of these polls of a load of lol landfill acts people pop up to say things like "powder don;t belong on this list" or "symposium's first 2 singles were actually quite good" and I just know without checking that this isn't true

both were utter shite so they do
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 22 March 2013 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
Powder are the fucking worst.
― emil.y, Friday, 22 March 2013 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
Well, actually, I'm not sure anything could be worse than Northern Uproar. But they make a good stab at it.
oh sub in any name here
― dat neggy nilmar (wins), Friday, 22 March 2013 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
Powder were one of the bands I saw at TITP 95 and they are by far the worst band I ever saw in my life
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 22 March 2013 19:58 (eleven years ago) link
Lodger were just as bad.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Friday, 22 March 2013 20:04 (eleven years ago) link
Tomorrow sees the 18th anniversary of the day I saw Powder live
― 'Separate Lives', by Phil Collins & Marilyn Manson (PaulTMA), Friday, 22 March 2013 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
is this Powder the same white-power-looking Powder I found on Spotify? because fuck if I'm gonna listen to the Spotify thing I found
― Darth Icky (DJP), Friday, 22 March 2013 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
iirc this was their album

Am I reading this right? Was there really a band named Salad?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 22 March 2013 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
Indeed there was. If memory serves, the singer was an MTV Europe presenter (or something like that)
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 22 March 2013 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
yes. they werent very good though.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 22 March 2013 22:18 (eleven years ago) link
On the 2nd day of titp 95 i walked past her in the street on my way down to strathclyde park. Also bumped into Martin Carr and John Power (who said "alright La" ).Also saw Rick Witter and Joe Strummer walking past me inside the festival.

Ride seem quite out of place in this list, but then again he mentions Hurricane #1 in the same breath. I think it's an Oasis thing
