It's a great lbum i think. A lot of Britpop was very macho, but there was something quite feminine about The Bluetones that i liked a lot. Some of the B-sides from this period were great too:

Colorado Beetle
Glad To See ya Back Again
Nae Hair Ont
Don't Stand Me Down

Apart from a few s0-so tunes and some appalling lyrics, i quite liked The Tears album. Refugees, Autograph, Ghost of You, Apollo 13 were all good songs

I think it sounds pretty good on Urban Hymns. One of the better tracks, along with "Come On".

I'm sure it was played on a radio session from around 1994.

The last compilation definitely came out no more than 5 years ago. The record company should be ashamed of themselves. I see it has the obligatory 2 new songs as well to attract the completists

This review is bang on the money. I think "Casualty" is a really good song, but this kinda thing has been done to death in the last 5 years.

There is an anti-George Lamb article in this month's Word magazine by the way

I like "Cavorting" and the acoustic version of "Not Nineteen Forever"....but the album is a big disappointment

I've heard that is a really lovely album......i must check it out

I hate it when bands assume that an appearance at T in the Park covers the Scottish leg of the tour!

Think this stuff might get a bit much over the course of a whole album though. I don't expect them to last, but right now they are putting out classic singles

The one reviewed above is completely pointless. So, off the top my head, here is my suggestion:

Suedehead
Everyday Is Like Sunday
Hairdresser On Fire
Interesting Drug
The National Front Disco
Certain People I Know
The More You Ignore Me....
Hold On To Your Friends
Sunny
Boxers
Alma Matters
Irish Blood, English Heart
The First of the Gang To Die
Let Me Kiss You
You Have Killed Me
There Is a Light (Live At Earls Court)

Would have been MUCH better!

V97 might have been great but T99 certainly wasn't. They pretty much played the whole of "13".....in track order. Then threw us a few scraps by playing one or two hits at the end!

Cheers.

I have noticed that people who are not from Glasgow have started using the term "Glasvegas" as a supposedly cool thing to call the city........not good

Say what you want about them but they made 4 great albums in a row between 1995 & 2001.

....haha, that's fantastic. I never thought i would see the day that my home village would have a song!

I think it is true that there is a lot of bad feeling towards Glasvegas in Glasgow at the minute. However, i think it is because they have been knocking about for ages and genuinely were rubbish until "Daddy's Gone" came out. That single took everyone by surprise and i think many of the Glasgow scenesters are pissed off they are getting attention form outside the city

That is one of the worst tracklistings on a Best OF/Greatest Hits i have ever seen. I thought this was going to be a great career overview! It's completely pointless

"Daddy's Gone" and "Flowers & Football Tops" are great. However, time will tell if they can make a whole album of quality like that. Very strange that they are suddenly getting loadsa attention, as they have been around Glasgow for a few years and were considered a bit crap

Having read the NME article now, i really don't know what all the fuss is about. It wasn't a stitch-up cos Mozzer gave his thoughts on immigration unprompted. However, all he seemed to be saying was that Britain is a very different place than it was 30 years ago. Not better or worse, just....different

^

I LOVED "Phoenix" so much, so i'll be giving this a listen

Why the hell is that not on it?

Is a great recent soundtrack. Also, a special mention for "Paris, Texas".

It was obvoiusly going to happen though just so they could get "Don't Look Back" and "What A Waster" on an album

What a strange choice

I agree that Bernard Butler was better than Mick Jones. See the Butler version of "Death On The Stairs" for proof. However, Jones production did have its moments, for example his version of "I get Along" and the wonderful "Can't Stand Me Now".

...is their best tune but the version on the 1st mini-album/EP thingy is better

Was quite suprised by this collaboration. I have never once heard Weller say anything complimentary about Blur.

I must be one of the very few on here who don't mind the View at all. Sure, there is a lot of filler on the album but "Superstar Tradesman" is great. And they caused a riot at a secret gig in my hometown of Falkirk the other week and said they wouldn't be back..so respect for that! Nothing that exciting has happened in Falkirk for many a year

Don't be daft, the NME never gave them any hype. It now seems that if a band merely appears in NME these days they are being "hyped".

I really don't mind em. Some of the songs are awful (Cloudy Room springs to mind), but i like Either Way and Two Lovers. Nothing wrong with those tunes at all....nice guitars on them.

I still think this is a great album. Sure, they could've dropped a couple of average tracks from it but it's still a great pop album. "Apollo 13"......wow! Seems weird that it flopped. Think it just shows that Suede are going to be a mere footnote in pop history rather than the headline they deserve to be. Shame.

Oh, and agree about the Guitarist....he's brilliant!

I like the fact that everybody has a strong opinion on this band. Personally, i like them. Saw them twice the other week. However, i think "Cloudy Room" is pretty awful - "Lets get some Gianluca, better call the dealer" and all that. "Either Way" is their best tune

Haven't heard this album yet. I absolutely love his debut album though. "The Fine Art of Self Destruction" is a fantastic record!

I seen them twice this week. In Stirling and Glasgow. I went more to see The Motorettes to be honest but i have to say i enjoyed The Twang. Sure, the laddish attitude grates and their so-called anthem "Cloudy Room" is terrible but i couldn't help but dance when that pure baggy riff from "The Neighbour" started up.

I really like this track on the album, not sure it's a great single though. It's their most straight-ahead "indie" tune without their usual dancey-ness. They are brilliant live though

I'm pretty sure that Campag weren't the first release, that single came out in '97
