Guns n Roses blow, Shed Seven had Chasing Rainbows. I'm giving the nod to Shed Seven - even if they could only dream of recording something as awesome as Insomniac by Echobelly.

Did you mean to admit that even you thought all your other threads were shit ones?

"Guns n Roses blow, Shed Seven had Chasing Rainbows. I'm giving the nod to Shed Seven - even if they could only dream of recording something as awesome as Insomniac by Echobelly."

I hate to say this, but all of this is actually completely OTM.

I am somewhat concerned to know what Ceezar's opinions are of the Manic Street Preachers and Sleeper 'though.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Sleeper = fab.

Manics = never made a great album, had some great moments, Wire would lok hilarious in a big banana suit and this has been something of a campaign of mine on ILX.

― Ceezar, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh you had to ask!

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:21 (twenty years ago)

At least my suspicions have been confirmed.

I did think he might have made a little more effort to conceal his identity than that 'though.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:23 (twenty years ago)

fwiw, swap "Insomniac" for "Dark Entries" and you have my M.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:23 (twenty years ago)

U don't like these bands Stu?

― Ceezar, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:25 (twenty years ago)

"Dark Entries" by Echolbelly???

A cover of the Bauhaus song?!?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:26 (twenty years ago)

"U don't like these bands Stu?"

I can't abide Guns 'n' Roses.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:27 (twenty years ago)

"Dark Therapy" excuse myself.

xpost me neither.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:28 (twenty years ago)

Oh me neither, I meant Sleeper and MSP?

― Ceezar, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:28 (twenty years ago)

Dark Therapy is fab. Echobelly are often seen as Britpop hangers on but they were from the pre-Parklife/ Def. Maybe and post Drowners era.

― Ceezar, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:29 (twenty years ago)

Echobelly, most of their songs could have been titled "I'm really pleased with myself", which gets a bit wearing. Except that one.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:31 (twenty years ago)

I don't remember "Dark Therapy" (I've only got their first album).

Echobelly = [Penetration + The Smiths]

Or is that just me?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:34 (twenty years ago)

Dark Therapy was, I think, a B-side and live fave. See their best of for it... it goes "if you close your eyes then I can take it all the way" if mind serves me right. It's very sublime and as close as Echobelly got to doing a really beautiful ballad.

― Ceezer, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:37 (twenty years ago)

Well nadeeda then!

Have you heard the new LP yet? I've not but would like to.

― Ceezer, Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:47 (twenty years ago)

Released in the US only. Check Amazon for cheap imports (apparently)

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:51 (twenty years ago)

Or cheaper, on e-bay.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 11:52 (twenty years ago)

This is a bit off-topic now.

But if you buy it will you burn me a copy? Heh heh.

― Ceezer, Thursday, 23 December 2004 12:03 (twenty years ago)

Don't want one. Soz.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 23 December 2004 12:15 (twenty years ago)

Bah.

― Ceezer, Thursday, 23 December 2004 12:21 (twenty years ago)

Shed Seven. Even if they were possibly worst of the Britpop bunch.

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 23 December 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago)

No that was Embrace.

― Ceezer, Thursday, 23 December 2004 12:55 (twenty years ago)

Shed Seven weren't bad.

Well, they were better than Oasis anyway.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 23 December 2004 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Oh now come on. Half the World Away, The Masterplan, Rocking Chair, Listen Up, Talk Tonight, Champayne Supernova, Stay Young, D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?, Don't Look Back in Anger, Live Forever... Oasis had some of the finest songs of that period.

― Ceezar, Thursday, 23 December 2004 13:45 (twenty years ago)

none of those are as good as Welcome To The Jungle

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Thursday, 23 December 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago)
