Dan Albarn is a very talented musician. His knowledge of song writing and chord progressions supercedes most other 90s musicians. I remember I heard the song "Ernold Sane" for the first time when I was 19, and being a musician myself, was amazed at the song, which is slightly out of harmony (deliberately) yet still sticks together. I forget which classical composer used to do the same thing with his music. The name will come to me one day.
Read it up, during the "Battle For Brit Pop" (The day Oasis and Blur released singles on the same day.) Blur out-sold Oasis, making them better statically.
well i had only seen this video maybe once or twice on mtv in 95/96 whenever it was released, a time i knew nothing of Matt Lucas, so when i stumbled on this video again the other day and saw someone who looked like matt lucas, i thought id ask and now i have the answer :)
luv me some quirky Brit-rock... i think this band was over most Americans' heads (yes, i'm American). I'm lucky i ever heard of em to begin with, but they're 1 of my favorite 90s bands!
@PhantomAlxa99 oh just surprised,wow, was that it, right on, next time maybe dont announce to everyone that ur a daft ass bc usually ull elicit some agreement, but i guess an 'idiot understanding something simple' is an oxymoron...
The Fact Oasis & Blur chart battle is still being talked just about show the mess the uk music is in today how badly it has fallen in the last decade these 2 will forever be heard!!
and I do not want to know about Jessie J she and her music really will not rock my world!
@rustykeys178 most people would agree with you, i love the beatles (fuckin hate Oasis but thats a different matter) and musically they may be superior although Dave Davies, Kieth Richards and Harrison are the big 3 of guitar in my book, i find Ray Davies lyrics to be better than lennon/mccartney. my opinion, im sure many disagree would disagree with me but come on, its impossible to beat Waterloo Sunset. Not to mention the kinks invented punk and Davies has been labeled the Godfather of britpop.
ck@Veggie449 more than likely because im a fuckin thick retard and wanna spread the love, soz for not being an individual anyways.. god i wanna be an individual, one day one day..i
I know a comedian who is very much like Keith Allen and he's an Englishman who suits a bowlerhat very nicely. I was wearing my bowler hat with 3 piece when I requested this song and tipped my hat off my head at 1:36 said "Allo James" walked out and cracked my neck bones but VERY LOUDLY. People took off sickened by that leaving their food behind.
Oasis won, good song tho
