The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

For pure pop and dancefloor perfection the Daft Punk track walks all over that fey arch student indie crap.

It's utter shite!

90s one-word Brit pop bands from a Yank’s point of view:

Oasis — very good stadium band, ever-present
Blur — one mega hit, bits and pieces all right
Suede — vaguely familiar
Pulp — sorry, only room for three Brit pop bands

Do Yanks talk about "indie" music?

Like is " Britpop" really "Indie" ?

And weren't the Reynolds Girls in fact "indie" ?

1. Yes, we talk about bands like Superchunk who started independent Merge records 30 years ago so that young people today can discuss how wonderful Arcade Fire and Titus Andronicus are.

2. No Brit pop is not indie.

3. I do not know.

Name one dance song you like :)

AZ Daft Park Ultras trying to get in the Pulp family stand on this one. All kicking off!

These threads dislike dance music generally, a fact I’ve grudgingly grown to live with :)

Quite. That’s why I normally restrict myself to the dance threads (or the rock ones ;-)

Agreed. I don’t really like much dance music but it’s better than whiny Pulp.

 

[hilts]

Fuckin hate that song.

I love Pulp, but I hate Common People, 2nd worst track on Different Class (after Disco 2000)
But I don't like Get Lucky either...

So Pulp
