Was listening to a Right Said Fred DVD this week and I've come to the conclusion that Dipply Dippy could be seen as one of the first britpop songs - it is almost so proto-Dodgy Good Enough that it hurts to think about it (but obv Dipply Dippy is much better than Dodgy)!!!!

surely the first britpop song would be 'love me do' !!!

I am sure one of the guys from Right Said Fred appeared in the video for David Bowie's song Blue Jean (guitarist)

but isnt one of the main points of britpop that it encompasses that kinda vibe from the 60s when the beatles and the kinks were about - and so it would have to be an original 60s song - but one of the first in like the 90s to get back to that way after all the synthetic 80s...

not watched this video that last few times i had the bowie dvd out - and not interested watching it as i've got laibach on at the moment - tho i think you could be right - think i read this bit of trivia or something like that before somewhere.,..however rumours that the presenter of popular Dave TV show Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld was once the guitarist in right said fred maybe a bit far of the truth (surely theres only 2 blokes in RSF :lol: :lol: )....

id suggest that the sound never went away post punk, being found in (real) indie...

but it could be said that real indie has to channel the jangle of Clark and McGuinn - as when you read reviews of old 1980s bands many of them seem to have a Byrdsian jangle to them and so we're getting more Layrol Canyon than Carnaby Street

 

(btw i may have watched a certain bbc4 documentary again and just misheard my mum saying will young as neil young just now!!! :lol: )

dunno... it depends upon what exactly 'britpop' is... to me 'britpop' was just the latest version of 60's mod/beat. guitar based british pop groups are all just a variation on a theme, from beat throught to todays 'indie' and encompasing everything in between (inc glam, punk, new wave, indie). mod = modernist, an unfixed term in regards of style .

but i guess that the rejection/reaction of grunge in the early 90s is important and right said fred were around that time of grunge and dont sound much like pearl jam...

 

if britpop was just the same thing it would have probs be called classic indie or nu-beat...but then again you could argue that all this music genre labeling is a lot of music juno w*** employed to make them look like they are doing something and cool because they found the latest art-rock happening and realkly it may have nothing to do with music just pants...
