like the smiths, how much you like suede is directly proportional to how you respond to the flamboyance/charisma of the lead singer. i saw 'em in london in the early 90s and came away with mixed feelings--great guitarist and very good songs, altho the singer was ultimately a bit over the top with his bowie-ism. still, 90s britpop is a good genre--unlike most of the 80s new wavey stuff, the first couple of suede records (as well as early oasis, blur, pulp) still hold up very well.
90s Britpop.....
Although the genre was relatively short-lived....it did bless us with one the best bands ever...that would be Suede(the London Suede in the states)...unfortunately it also spawned posers like Shed Seven, BLuetones, etc...any thoughts?
