It'll be alright and ever so nice

Ah Britpop. I love you so. Britpop for a time churned out a lot of awesome music. It also churned out a lot of shit. But that's neither here nor there. Today we'll look at one of the good ones.



Suede were great. Controversially, I prefer their later stuff as opposed to their early bits and bobs with Bernard Butler. That's not to say I don't like Bernie (some of his stuff is cracking)I just liked their later songs.

Songs like Film Star, Trash, Beautiful Ones and She's In Fashion all rock my world. Of course, Suede fucked it all up and split, but at least for a time, they made awesome songs. From the remains of Suede came The Tears, who had a few good tunes such as Autograph and Lovers, and then solo careers ahoy. Brett Anderson went on to do not much, and Bernard Butler went on to make great songs and then produce.. Duffy. Eeep.

I leave you with one their best songs and saddest moments: Saturday Night. Eagle eyed viewers will notice Keeley Hawes looking glamorous, whilst eating chips. Woof.



And for the record, Film Star is one of the best songs to strut to EVER
