Goldie and Kemistry both being from Birmingham or the surrounding area. Big involvement in bassline. All this Jackin House shit that's going on now. All this stuff they're calling "B-Town" or whatever.

Big up Birmz, had its fingers in a lot of musical pies.

looool that video is so jokes

wherever basslien first came from is my answer so probs sheff

Before your post, I hadn't heard of electro swing, so I quickly checked some out on youtube. Now I can say there are two genres I've heard of that I don't like a single tune from so far.

it would be very hard to pick out good stuff from either moombathon and classic non roots reggae

its all about the russian donk/hardbass

thats gonna get a listen later on!

you must have proper shit music taste-Oasis' debut album is widely regarded as one of the best ever in "top 100" lists- Stone Roses epitomised their era and their comeback was widely recieved-as was/did James'-The Smiths-need I say more? I urge you to listen to more New Order. I think you're dismissing bona fide good bands and naming one "great" band.

this thread is twisting my melon

biggup the top 100 lists

where would we be without them

Oasis' success speaks for itself but (purely subjectively ofc) I think they're brilliant

best thing the gallaghers released imo

oi gen

Oasis and Stone Roses are regarded highly in the mainstream bullshit music press aimed at idiots who like middle of the road nonsense. Large sales don't mean fuck all. Oasis just churned out bland Beatles rip off tracks combined with some of the sound of general 90s British music with lyrics about being an everyday boring tnuc in the 90s. They appeal to mouth breathing Carling drinkers.

New Order basically were what happened when you take a collapsed Joy Division and get them to reform writing boring pop music with none of the dark atmosphere or post punk edge that Joy Division had

The Smiths wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Morrisey singing exactly the same thing over every track complete with corny as fuck lyrics. Add in then that he's probably one of the most annoying people in music as a person and it makes it even more difficult to like his tuneless warbling.

Don't you like metal though?
