i'm really glad i liked Oasis when i did, and i can say proudly that i was not in, duh, i was never in UK, but I was all caught up in that whole Britpop era back in 96.
Listening to this Britpop station on Yahoo Launch. hmm... They've been playing all these classic britpop bands: Mansun, Suede, Oasis and Blur (the godfathers of britpop), Kula Shaker, The Verve, Massive Attack, Placebo, etc..
It's wonderful you know, and it's so weird, or wonderful to realize that my preference for music is so very inclined towards britpop sounds. Like even after the whole britpop age, i tend to drift towards music that sounds britpop... hence why i like non-English bands like Asian Kung Fu Generation and The Pillows and the likes...
Oddly enough though, I've never checked out bands like The Smiths or even Morrissey for that matter. I mean i did check out The Stone Roses (due to Oasis) and i did prefer them way better than Happy Mondays though... but i wonder why i missed the whole Smiths thing, considering that they're like legends.
Neways, better late than never. gonna check them out now.
