im talking about this

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Britpop

seems like a fairly decently defined sound that includes suzuki's 2nd category and not remotely your beloved Franz

Early kasabian f***ing RIPPED man

I like these bands enough but they are mopers and snoozeworthy too

Feeder were an awesome band though

thought you trusted me

and I just took like ten album recs from you smh

When i first discovered the american indie press when i moved here and saw p4k gave kasabian debut a 5.2 i was so f***ing confused lmao

ill take any rec you give thats relevant to the phase im doing

youre rigid with your years thing and im rigid with the big marathon phases i do. and more Franz belongs on an entirely different phase like Blur, Suede etc.

and im throwing in Steeleye Span album randomly this week just for you

was gonna peep Boo Radleys soon

U heard the spiritualized records i assume?

peak

I just consider bands like stereophonics and keane and snow patrol to be bland facsimilies of the real thing (90s radiohead) which i dont like that much in the first place. But yes all these bands have decent tunes just mopey

Franz one of the only bands that carried on the spirit of britpop imo way more tuneful than those other bands Suzuki named imo. if you only heard the debut a few times I dont get why you won't trust me.

Like that first keane album was a PHENONEMON but tom was a posh git and by the time of their second album everyone was sick of his whiny arse

I dont f***ing much like u2 either and all those bands sound like u2

man we never even heard about Suede over here. barely heard about Pulp and Verve aside from Common People and Bittersweet Symphony.

also s*** like New Order, Banshees, OMD, Talk Talk were rarely mentioned when I first started reading about good old music.

Crazy...thank god for the internet

only Ladies and Gentlemen, liked it but never loved it

okay fine you think its better than debut or what?

Idk its way better than listening to f***ing snow patrol and travis lol

ok well im a diehard U2 fan so how can i trust your opinion on those U2-esque bands now

Now im older i understand kasabian were derivative and also the early 00s american hipster was extremely anti lad-rock and any music about getting off your head and getting p**** so i understand now but at the time i was like "how can anyone not like KASABIAN" lol

I think they did the dance rock better on the first and third album but started writing real melodies/ballads on the 2nd album.

I never really gone deep on the pre joshua tree stuff i know theres good s*** there and i love one with MJB

need your thoughts

This is from the album they forced on everyones phones?
