the rectal prolapse of norman lamont: terrible post-britpop/dadrock ephemera

^fronting

18 wheeler - are these one of those sub-Teenage Fanclub tribute bands to Big Star? probably dire

werent they more shitty indie dance?
David Keenan (LOL) was in them (LOL)

dodgy - scientists said it was impossible to make Cast sound like peerless sonic futurists but then these boys stepped up to the plate

actually that whole post of yours is lol. The gomez one had me in stitches

space - the 90s Scouting for Girls except without the charm

See this is one of those examples of it being nice to have been in the States and been able to frame "Female of the Species" as some kind of disposable novelty hit and not realize they ever did anything else ever.

am voting for Space because thinking of the singer's face even now is raising my blood pressure

Salad had the dutch MTV VJ

Dave the Thief I think he was called

NV which singer in Space? There was 2 of the fuckers

the one with the face like a weasel

ahh the non ginger one. was it james or jamie?

the sister of one of G0m3z asked me if I thought they'd win the Mercury and I coughed and said something about it being a very open field that year

My contenders for worst of the worst:

3 colours red
embrace
hurricane #1
powder
sleeper
northern uproar
the gyres

Can't decide.

I met the drummer from Dodgy at Truckfest once, he was actually really funny and a pretty sound dude.

Also, is now the time to wheel out the always interesting fact that the guy from Jocasta was Dot Cotton's nephew? Or actually, maybe grandson or godson or something.

if you ever wondered if you could take 2 shitty britpop bands and cross them, would the sum of their parts result in a 10000% increase in shiteness or just double the horror ?
the answer was
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caXkHq3Q0N8

Louise Wiener bringing all women ever into disrepute surely a vote-winner

"I've never thrown my knickers at you " "i dont come from wales" must be the worst lyrics in a chorus since any of catatonia & space's previous hits..

god theres so much to hate in this poll

Im pretty damn sure Space will win this poll

still like Ballad Of Tom in all its crapness tbh

smaller - not a fucking clue. name on a par with Powder

they got some press and gigs on the strength of Noel Gallagher having written a song about the singer liking to eat lasagne

^^ this is NO WORD OF A LIE

were the real people around then or were they around the time of the coral?

real people were late 80s early 90s

Audioweb. Surprised NV has forgotten this band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Rv59G12T4

Would have posted the TFI clip but it was really poor quality

even worse song possibly

dodgy - lol geir hongro
echobelly - mehhhh
embrace - lol sick mouthy
gomez - isn't this a jam band or something??
menswe@r - not actively offensive
warm jets - fuck these guys for naming themselves after eno, haven't heard em though

voting......... oh who cares

warm jets had one really good single but the album was v embarrassing for using the word 'internet' in the lyrics somewhere

I saw Midget supporting Redd Kross around 1997. They were a steve lamacq approved band (yes a 3 piece pop punk band) they were fucking awful evening session pish.

Warm Jets supported Blur at the SECC on the s/t album tour. They were crap (blur were great)

(blur were great)

lol @ u

this was dreadful

xp

oh i knew someone might want to have a go at blur

ooh no not the sacred cow

Check the Shine series of cd's for all britpop/dadrock horror (there's TEN of them)

If the longpigs are a sacred cow of british english music then quick get them to mcdonalds.

british indie, not english obviously

british english music

haaa

you guys should feel lucky you did not get TFI Friday with Chris Evans over there. Most britpop bands who appeared on that got a hit because of it.

ilxor youtube a track by beach band here and review it

fuck my typing is real shit tonight. i better go to bed

everyone vote for kenickie to annoy ilms true indie kids ;)

I liked a number of these bands (typically their first albums only), and Puressence is still going and producing good stuff.

However, for some inexplicable reason I have everything Warm Jets ever did.

sb'ing you if they get a single vote now

Wasn't Number One Cup a Chicago band?

Whither These Animal Men? (shudder)

Fuxake. No Way Sis were great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_XQdBWjQ1g

voted kenickie

I see whatshername from Sleeper virtually every morning when I drop my kids off at school.

No Kula Shaker?!

No Skunk Anansie

No Catatonia.

i hate these kind of polls.

Rialto are by far the worst of these bands that i have heard.

the best album is Embrace Drawn from Memory with Unbelievable Truth and the Bluetones having some good moments.

See, Geir has also showed the confusion inherant.

No, I don't believe Kenickie and Dubstar got that many "worst" votes.

Dubstar, particularly, people either liked them or weren't bothered. Nobody actually disliked them to the point of hate over all others...

Given that is says "vote for worst" in about the fourth post, it's only confusing if you can't be bothered to read the thread or are a fucking idiot.

Which category are you proposing that Kenickie and Dubstar fans fall into there?

Maybe it's difficult to read with all that glitter in your eyes.

Fifth post, after one whughe pic and a very long list and a few "eh?" type posts...

also it is a follow-up poll to the other one

anyway, you look for the guy dancing around at the end, and that's who won

i thought it went pretty well, but a bit more focus will ensure some epic levels of butthurtedness next go round

I mean, I knew, and voted My Life Story....

OK - RERUN!!!---

terrible post-britpop/dadrock ephemera RERUN VOTE FOR WORST

Maybe it's difficult to read with all that glitter in your eyes.

what lp is that underneath the video next to thin lizzy?

Dunno, too shiny.

I think it's this album:

Think yr right.

Funny, on my home laptop, it's less shiny.

oooh well done, that looks spot on

lol indie in excelsis:

"These young fucking art school kids attacked me because I took off Duran Duran and put on [experimental minimalist] Tony Conrad. I don't understand what kids want any more, and I'm not interested in catering to it. All they want to do is dance and fuck, and those are two things I'm completely incapable of."

dude probably means physically, though, right?
