Tell Application Quicktime Rotate

the guest of stone between Oasis and Blur


In the early 90's, appeared in the British Isles a musical movement inspired by the legacy of the Beatles, The Kinks and other groups of 70. Handfuls of young Englishmen concerned about the progress of American grunge (aesthetics depressive existentialist philosophy) and eager to shake off the stale whiff of authoritarian rule of Margaret Thatcher set out to infuse the music scene breaths of fresh air turn this tide would be included within a cultural movement more, known as Cool Britannia .
This concern became the Britpop, more than a musical style, is a generational movement, a way of seeing things. While the various groups share some values \u200b\u200band very British, very different from each other. Here we have as the main flag-literally some were proud of the British flag, "Radiohead at the beginning, Blur, Oasis, Suede, Pulp, Elastica, The Verve, etc.
quickly sparked a kind of gang warfare, especially between Oasis and Blur, spurred by the controversy of knowing who was more daring, more innovative, more influence. At the expense of other quality non-exempt bands, the debate greatly conditioned the popularity of both.
I hate Oasis, although most maintain that it is the largest, anyone out there, ventured the pretentious poster of "heirs of the Beatles'" I think the time put the record straight site. My pores do not support the false pose of the Gallagher brothers although I like his simple "Got let it out." Weakness , everyone.
On the other hand, step by Blur. Changing his style and arrogance will not convince me. Can not stand, but its simple Parklife and Country House have marked time.
I will not enter the sterile debate which of the two is the biggest, because, as in other facets of life, music is about taste, subjective assessments of taste textures, evocations. Although recently discovered, thanks to the film Trainspotting and despite its age, I'm certainly no doubt, by a band overshadowed by the brilliance of the previous trade, the terse and enigmatic PULP.
The origins of this band from Sheffield (northern England) back in the late 70's when its members were still some kids in school, which gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe degree of evolution the same, no doubt as all bands had to experiment with different sounds and themes, Amen numerous inquiries to be released in the tables. Despite the years covered, the success came quite late, in the early 90's when harvested some recognition, but not until 1995 that reached the height of his popularity with the publication of "Different Class " , without a doubt their best album.
restful and reflective songs as 'Bar Italia', 'Underwear', 'Something changed, "" Razzmatazz', 'I Spy' , dark lyric 'This is Hardcore', 'Help the Aged' and of course the monumental 'commom People' , a hymn generation and included among the 25 best Britpop songs by the magazine Rolling Stone.
One listen to Oasis or Blur and finds fast guitar riffs and choruses fresh, upbeat and catchy and a impudence and insolence so characteristic of youth and people wants to conquer the world.
In return, to hear Pulp, we need to stop, focus on virtuosity and testing of instruments and maturity reflective of the letters (not for nothing, lurked in the shadows desperate years before knowing the commercial success).
Unfortunately, with the passing of the years, their subsequent acquired a more cryptic or 'dark', although they were well received by critics, however, did not have much impact as popular at the beginning of its history, the group returned to the shadows until its dissolution in 2002.
Despite being well known and respected in the UK, Pulp did not have much international impact, especially in Latin America, perhaps to maintain their independence strictly stylistic or because they were unlucky solitary crow that thrives among the remains of large and noisy eaters.
been almost two decades and the echoes of the British wave sounds distant and, although some current bands are proclaimed heirs, are far from achieving greatness, perhaps because they are at other times. Oasis and Blur, have registered their names, but I have the impression that his fame will be extended further by the controversy of its leaders that his musical legacy. Pulp, time will do justice, lest it become a cult band, at least for this chest.
