The best things they ever recorded were the Stay Together EP and Dog Man Star which, flat production aside, was a masterwork of over-the-top songwriting.
There's a very special place in my shrivelled little heart for The Wild Ones. I was absolutely gutted when it didn't make the Top Ten.
― klee (klee), Monday, 13 March 2006 16:36 (twenty years ago)
I just heard "The Drowners" for the first time a few minutes ago. It seems a rather unremarkable song; I'm surprised it generated much attention. Was this really revolutionary at the time of its release?

I only heard (some of) the B-sides quite a while after the albums, and maybe I was no longer in a Suede mood, but though some of the songs were good enough to make it to the albums, I don't know that any would make my top 10 songs (or maybe even top 20)?
I'd pick "She's Not Dead" or "Picnic by the Motorway".
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 27 October 2023 16:25 (two years ago)
every song on the first album is the best suede song. but also...stay together. that's the one. the magnum opus.

'Animal Nitrate' from the first album. I was 19 when it was released and as a teenager living in a satellite town of London it was a case of right band right place right time. Maybe even more so than Nirvana had been two years previously. Alternatively, 'We Are The Pigs' from the second album. But there are so many great tracks on both albums that really it's impossible to choose.

I have signed up to do the Suede poll but now they are releasing new music and not up to date. If someone wants to take over that would be great. I would love to do a deep dive.
I think their B-Sides are Top 5 best from the 90s along with the Cure, MBV and the Boo Radleys...
― Bee OK, Friday, 27 October 2023 17:48 (two years ago)

Not that I’m going to take over the poll from Bee but per that point new music sure as hell keeps being made by them and “She Still Leads Me On” not only ate part of my brain last year, it was the lead off number to their absolutely killer show here and I still hum it randomly just because.

― imago, Tuesday, 7 November 2023 20:00 (two years ago)
There really are so few bands where there are not only b-sides in the running for "greatest song" but too many to easily pick. Even the Pet Shop Boys, with their own nearly unparalleled run of b-sides, as many of those that I love I'm not sure how many leap to the level of the group's astounding singles.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 7 November 2023 20:21 (two years ago)
yeah it’s crazy. they played “flashboy” when I saw them live and my lord it was good
