Worst Of These Mid-Late 90s UK Bands?

Gomez are actually waaaaaaay more popular in 'Merica than they are here.

Gomez's first album is fucking brilliant.

The first record is actually quite good (xpost, yeah, "fucking brilliant"! YEAH!). For a brief period later on when they released the Machismo EP and In Our Gun they were really good. I'll possibly need Nick and Dimension 5ive to back me up on this. I can't really offer much more than subjective opinion as yet, but they meld electronica with American rock in a surprisingly subtle, engaged manner. They don't overstate things and thus lose the chemistry.

And yeah, they have a massive double-disc live album from an American tour, which I don't have.

Plus, they don't really sound like anyone else, they have a great ear for musical progression, and a way with a tune. What's not to love?

The vocals?

The band and all of their music?

You've heard and don't like Cardiacs, you don't count.

i'm shocked. that's not nearly enough loathing for reef.

This is how Nazi Germany started (xp)

Gomez remind me of Canned heat.

A bit.

Steady on there! That's fightin' talk!

Fight!

I've just found the Gomez interview I conducted a few years ago. It is BAD so I'm not going to link to it. But t'was a friendly chat all the same.

Who in this bitch has a problem with Sleeper? Demz great.

yeah, shed seven are 9 times better than the stereophonics. way to be reasonable people.

Any nominations for a worst britpop song poll?
1 song per band

Dodgy - Good Enough is my pick.
So come on and name the worst songs and i'll poll them.

Must you?

Oh yes..
Reef - Place Your Hands? or did they do worse songs than that?

Stereophonics - Have a Nice Day.

alt: Reef: It's your letters.

Stereophx Mr Writer, surely?

MR WRITER.

I don't really think of Stereophonics as Britpop.But it's the worst song EVER.

ARGH XPOST

yeah mr writer

Which Oasis song? Cuz I gotta put Blur - Country House in.

actually Roll With it

I really really hate Don't Look Back in Anger.

Roll With It was still the worst crime by oasis

Reef - Yer Old

Which Suggs song? Come on Marcello!

His cover of I'm Only Sleeping.

what was that Hurricane #1 song that wasnt on an album that was a huge hit. Think the sun used it in an advert

Step Into My World?

wasn't it 'Only The Strongest Will Survive'?

Aye, it was Only The Strongest Will Survive.

ok i need nominations for worst space single.
Not the one with Catatonia (i may put that up also if enough people say they hate it too)

MR WRITER is my fave Stereophonics track. So far as fave goes.

Space - Neigbourhood

but its WORST songs

I just wanted everyone to know what my fave Stereophonics song was. :(

Step on My Old Size Nines is by far the worst Stereophonics song.

I think Avenging Angels is worse than Neighbourhood, but not by much.

Pick A Part That's New might have been the first time that I wanted to brutally murder a member of the Stereophonics. Although there was arguably worse stuff later, I was able to kind of ignore that.

I don't mind Space at all. They were kind of charmingly silly.

Nope

Fat Les - Vindaloo

good call

So get them in.

I'm swapping the Suggs song to Cecilia

King Of The Kerb is a worse Echobelly song, no?

ok i'll change it. I just listed all the songs I could think of.Dont necessarily hate them (ie i like the verve song) but I want it to be all inlclusive..
I picked that Manics song (despite being a manics fan) as its the worst thing they ever did IMO
