glowingember Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 My earliest memory of Brit Pop...7.30 am, tuning into BBC radio listening to the chart review.It was 1981 or 1982, the crackling sound of BBC and the accent counting down to number 1. Human League's Don't You Want Me was in the top 5 and when they announced number 1, Bucks Fizz's Land of Make Believe started playing...It was like magic...and I fell in love with Brit Pop.

PaterTenebrarum Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) You know, I have a theory why Lady Gaga is so popular now. Even though I dont like her, I admit she makes great pop songs with great melodies. I think people welcome her after an RnB fatigue. If you listen to her, the tunes she churns out are reminiscent of those played by artists in the 90s and even earlier -back when songs had great melodies.Anywho, that is just my theory. So, here's Jesus Jones with a piece released from a time when songs had great tunes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6dxQVhE8o&ob=av2e Edited August 23, 2011 by PaterTenebrarum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derryfawne Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Another popular Brit band: STEPS!Ah! I really really liked 'Last Thing On My Mind', though it hasn't aged very well. Nowadays, it just sound like some upbeat Eurodance for some aerobic video.I remember liking their Danish counterpart, Aqua, too. Again, the music hasn't aged very well, but at least the band was funny and they didn't take themselves seriously. I think she guest-starred in BBC's Ab Fab, wasn't she? Never got to sample her tunes though, neither have I given PJ Harvey's music a try.You should. Terrific musicianship.Best starting point is Stories from the City, her most accessible record; her masterpiece though, imo, is Is This Desire?The video below is Dress from her debut album (Dry), which I love to blast full-volume with my headphone on. Really tight and bombast rhythm section, and PJ Harvey's aggressive delivery nails it (although she would get even more aggressive on the next album, Rid of Me, but I find that album a bit too rough). “Do not take life too seriously.

Both are good albums, especially the latter, but I don't think they are representative of PJ Harvey's classic sound. Had I listen to some other PJ songs right after a song from those two albums, I wouldn't even be able to recognize that it's the same singer. Nevertheless, The Last Living Rose is my personal recommendation if you want to start from her quieter songs. If you want to get acquainted to her rock sound, Stories from the City is still the best place to start. Catchy, glossy, pop-rock tunes. “Do not take life too seriously.
