I can understand why people would like them, but the whole Whippin Picadilly era of publicity for them left a sour taste in my mouth, then Basement Jaxx brought out Remedy and I moved away from guitars altogether for a while.bass_culture wrote:One of my favourite bandswub wrote:They won the Mercury in 1998 and were touted as the 'saviours of British rock' and everyone at my college went apeshit for them.southstar wrote:I've never even heard of Gomez
I was a bit to young to appreciate them back in 98, my mum had the record and I didn't really "get it". Was about 2002 when I started getting into their music.wub wrote:I can understand why people would like them, but the whole Whippin Picadilly era of publicity for them left a sour taste in my mouth, then Basement Jaxx brought out Remedy and I moved away from guitars altogether for a while.bass_culture wrote:One of my favourite bandswub wrote:They won the Mercury in 1998 and were touted as the 'saviours of British rock' and everyone at my college went apeshit for them.southstar wrote:I've never even heard of Gomez

There's a point.wub wrote:Basement Jaxx brought out Remedy
The ultimate 'bro' band. I don't think ANYONE into music still really takes them seriously. "Sup bro, let's chill and have some brewskies and bump to that Sublime dude. Have a toke or two. It's gonna be sweet"kingldub wrote:Sublime - Sublime. Seriously.

Agreed. Though the first one was high-lair-e-ouse when I first bought it, but on revisit plays it's just a bunch of shit skits with a few Ugly Duckling style raps thrown in.magma wrote:DJ Yoda - How To Cut & Paste series.
All of them.

Never really understood the hype on this. Blue Lines and Protection most-assuredly-fuck-yes, but Mezzanine seemed to make it into all the "Best Albums Ever" lists and it was pretty mediocre compared to the rest of their work.

Coffee table as fuck. Spybreak!'s still good when it's soundtracking Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss shooting up a lobby, mind.
