Southy's the Embrace defence league. But they're not on this,.
Embrace were OG Radiohead-Lite & should not be here in the absence of Colplay & Travis.
Shouldn't Terris be on the roster tho?

not exactly -- embrace were solidly post-oasis anthemic northern rock. coldplay and travis were designated post-radiohead... post-'high and dry' radiohead i guess.

Terris don't really belong here, they really sit alongside My Vitriol and JJ72 and the likes when it comes to failed 2000 attempts to guess the future of rock.

TD being one of the last bands that EMI spunked a wad of cash on (v. nice promos/pacakaging etc) prior to the labels fall from grace-n-favour, only for no-one to give a shit, as the album bombed out of sight (but at least it got released unlike joe jing jang wrong)

talk of Terris reminded me of seeing them play 1.5 songs, have horrible sound problems, get into a bit of handbags, and then apparently split up, at this Reading Festival:
http://i51.tinypic.com/j9a45y.jpg
these festival posters are fascinating because they are a great reminder of all of the dross that your mind has let you forget, but it is crazy looking back at the bands that were actually there that i have no recollection of.
