I might need to add "Copper Blue" by Sugar. Such a great album.

 

I stuck "Giant Steps" on yesterday, just doesn't do it for me so much now. That said, "Lazarus" is still a killer

The great Bob Mould, how the hell could I forget him... "Copper Blue" is a cool as f**k album... "Candy Apple Grey" by Husker Du (Bob's old band) is a fukkin' killer as well....

I like this... One of those long-lost great Indie albums, like "Giant Steps" or "Just For A Day"

 

what are these?

"Giant Steps" was the third album by Liverpool indie rock band Boo Radleys, I consider it to be their most ambitious album...

 

"Just For A Day" was the first album by early 90s ethereal indie rockers Slowdive, a band who got a lot of undeserved bad press at the time....

slowdive, ive only heard the name in passing reviews due to members in Mojave 3

Yeah, Slowdive were great. I think shoegaze became a dirty word once Suede ushered in Britpop - hence the bad press.

So Suede were the firsy britpoppers then? looking at the dates they seem to be a few years before 96 in a kind of trendy (so probably london trendy seeing as they were the london suede :lol: ) 'glam' alternative to grunge

I might need to add "Copper Blue" by Sugar. Such a great album.

 

 

that comes in at 50 on my list. I made this list last year and is a pretty good attempt at my top 50... i'd change a few things now but oh well... Slowdive would make my top 100 with Souvlaki, along with Curve etc (showgaze is/was definately one of my fav. genre's).

Tigerboy - Suede weren't called britpop back then, but they were the first of the bunch to make it really. You can't include Blur or Verve cos they were doing different things before then. At least that's what I think.
