after garage rock, oldskool 88-91 smiley-era dance music, and early 80's wire/gang of four type post-punk, which is the era most due to be looked back on with rose-tinted specs ?

Post Britpop anthemicism. I'm not even joking. It's going to happen.

I'm talking Urbane Hymns, Embrace, any fucker who slaps strings over everything and is afraid of technology.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I think there needs to be an early 00's retro 80s histrionic rock revival asap. I'm talking Van Halen rip off rip offs.

― hmmm, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Coldplay aren't hot on orchestras, Tom.

urbane hymns !! love that even if unintentional.

― piscesboy, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

It's always intentional, such is my distaste for that record.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously; search it on ILM, I've used it loads before, I'm sure.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

God I fucking hate that record.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

It's always intentional

Boring cool people

How's about orchestral 60's chart pop? Early Cat Stevens, Mark Wirtz etc...

― aleksandr supertramp (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

ARGH. (If only because "I Miss You" is the song that killed my love for Top 40 in 1986.)

hopes: shins/sea & cake style indie --> look into am lite rock both as texture & emotional mode (same thing i guess)

nu wave electrowhatev --> tones down depeche coke haircut exclusivity in favor of populism; bigger, blacker, more gauche: cameo, jam & lewis, hall & oates, inxs

reappraisal means => Mojo/uncut bullshit and we wouldn't want that.

1981-style American (and Canadian!) AOR (i.e. Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon), since it (deservedly or not) was never given much appraisal at all, except maybe by Chuck Eddy.

― Scott, Friday, 23 January 2004 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping that this would be about Melbourne band Ripe. They went a bit ROCK in their Sub Pop period, but they left some great stuff before that. I think one or two of them went on to be the Avalanches. Well, that's what someone told me anyway.
