Worst Of These Mid-Late 90s UK Bands?

Adorable were great!

zero votes for bluetones is a disgrace

Disgrace to the corpse of Sid.

I'm sure everyone thought someone else would vote Bluetones.

And Dodgy on got 3 votes. They deserved more.

Bluetones first album Expecting to Fly is brilliant, they kinda lost it after that.

Adorable were great!

OT(fucking)M

nothing like a little hate to get ILM going, i think this is this boards biggest poll.

i refused to vote, though there are some bad bands on here, because i happen to like and even flat out love one of these bands.

i happened to like the fact that the Bluetones didn't get any votes. as i happen to like the first and third album, i could also add a few songs from the second and throw in some b-sides. their last two albums including last years self titled left a lot to be desired however.

Four people need their heads checked. Probably Yanks who think they're being culturally thefted.

Or maybe some growly walruses who think they're being parodied.

Louis, you just cant defend Gomez!

I can and I will.

It's impossible!

do it Louis!

and I'm disappointed Ocean Colour Scene didn't get about 200 votes.

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
