One of the best albums of the 90’s UK Rock explosion of bands. Supergrass and Super Furry Animals just made albums that they wanted to make. And both were faves .
The mid-90s was probably the period in recent history when popular music tastes were most different between the USA and the UK. Pop and Rock ('Britpop') stayed huge in Britain while Grunge was all the rage across the Atlantic.
Youthful exuberance is right lol. Alright was their biggest hit, but they were only like 18 here & it's a pretty poppy track. Personally, I like their later stuff better; which is some of the best of the Britpop genre IMO. It's a shame they never broke it in the US, as they are uber-talented. Brilliant song writers and so original with their song structure, chord changes and they're very Beatles-influenced. Would love to see you guys check out Richard III, Late In the Day or Moving ✌
Britpop is the new wave of new wave. '90s, '00s was its peak. British alternative music. Its' kind of Beatles inspired rock, too. Some psychedelic/shoegazy, pop-rock, indie pop, punk rock influence, new wave/post-punk influenced some synthy, etc. Britpop bands like The Verve, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead, Pulp, Suede, Elastica, Travis, Coldplay, Supergrass, My Bloody Valentine, Stone Roses, Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush, Slowdive, Stereophonics, Feeder, Bloc Party, Artic Monkeys, PJ Harvey, Republica, etc Also, many people have been listening to music from the UK for years, decades past and present. Lots of influences, too. Many American bands for example: Metallica (especially early Metallica) was inspired by older UK punk rock and NWOBM (New wave of British metal). No Doubt was inspired by ska-punk from UK bands and new wave/post-punk, synthy. The Killers are inspired from new wave/post-punk, some synthy. Interpol is inspired from UK post-punk/darkwave gothy bands like Joy Division, same for Yeah Yeah Yeahs (from Sioxsee and the Banshees, The Cure, etc). Santigold inspired from a lot of new wave/post-punk UK bands. Green Day (especially early Green Day) inspired from older British punk rock Also some rappers and R&B artists influenced by some UK music. And many more other examples. . Next for Supergrass yall should check out videos "Pumping on Your Stereo", "Richard III", "Sun Hits the Sky", "Grace", etc Songs from the '90s and '00s. Funny yall mentioned Madness "Our House" They were a very fun influential new wave/post-punk, ska band from the late '70s, '80s and early '90s. Also from the UK.
@@Chris-ImperialAerosolKid It wasn't just fixated into a 4-5 year period. Those were the PEAK years. It's actually from late '80s - early parts of '00s. Mid '90s were the PEAK years.
Supergrass were are huge part of the 1990's Brtipop era. Stephen Spielberg was actually planning to make a TV show with them. To be a like an updated version of The Monkees however it never happened. Britpop was unique to British shores and Supergrass were at the forefront.
I apologize in advance for the namedropping, but I used to be a musician and when my band went to America for the first (and only) time, we played the same festival as Supergrass. (I think it was their first time in America too.) We got talking and went out and got drunk together. Great fun! Very nice guys!
@@mekkio77 That wasn't the purpose of the anecdote, you know. But OK, we were The Time Lodgers from Oslo, Norway. (Similarly melodic, but a fair bit more lo-fi than Supergrass)
I have heard this and really like it , it reminds me if you look at this video of watching The Monkees sing we are the young generation Hey Hey We are the Monkees. Its same kind of theme. But I like this its a feel good song that you feel young and happy. and they got that cute look that teen girls are going to go for
Having not heard it enough to get sick of it, I instead was able to love this song and video every time I've seen it. I love the energy of it all. This time it managed to bring a tear to my eye though. That sucks.
they remind me of a Canadian band called Sloan. actually i should say just this song. not sure on their other songs but this sounds like something Sloan would have sung.
My favorite of them is Mary, the song is somewhat sinister but with a lot of fun, the guitars and especially the electric organ make the melody very interesting.
Try "Moving" from their self-titled 1999 album. One of their best tunes from a ridiculously underated album. It is such a big leap from the novelty vibes of "Alright": moody, artsy, and even groovy...enjoy!
This is from the height of 'Britpop' where Indie became more commercial than ever before, up to this point Indie music was always coined as 'Alternative' music and even had its own chart, magazines and radio station slots, even its own midweek slot at most nightclubs, these guys would have grown up with post-punk, mod revival (Our House - as you point out) and 80's Indie/Alternative which was their main influence, this was a great fun band, great to dance to, they'll never be revered as one of the greats, but no one can ever argue that they weren't FUN!
I remember partying in a cave, behind a waterfall with my school mate's back in the mid 90s and singing this very loudly while inebriated, lol. We was away for the weekend doing the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. Great treasured memories.
Another track (& video) of theirs that share the same 'Madness' of 'Our House' fame kind of not really taking it seriously vibe is 'Pumping on your Stereo' - & their track 'Richard III' is just a straight up Rocker. Well worth a listen.
you say its not exactly how you think of pop because its britpop a British pop music culture from the 90s just seen you guys reacted to oasis aswell, HUGE HUGE part of britpop
"Youthful exuberance" sums up quite well hw the mid-90's in the UK were an optimistic time. We had blazing hot summers, the Tory government on its way out, Euro 96...., and Britpop.
One of the great bands that never broke big in the US, makes me feel old, they have a Rotary telephone in the video.. When music was just fun, not much of that today.
They have a fun song called "Pumping on Your Stereo" that you should check out. Also a lovely ballad called "Low C" where they shot the video up at Weeki Wachee!
so fun being able to hear so many songs for the first time again through you guys. check out supergrass - mary, totally different vibe. or pilot - magic, if you haven't already. cheers.
This strikes something deep in my childhood memories - pretty sure it was used on several Bri'ish TV adverts, and possibly in an episode(s) of Baywatch? I forget what other Britpop you reacted to already, but Blur, Pulp, Oasis and The Verve are all out there, and a degree of separation away are Embrace, Manic Street Preachers, The Charlatans, Ash, Garbage, Stereophonics, Muse...
I love that you’re reacting to off the beaten path artists that were talented but were largely overlooked in the states. You should react to to their other songs like: -Going Out -Caught by the Fuzz -Diamond Hoo Ha Men -Rush Hour Soul -Mary -Grace
You've finally checked out a hidden UK gem, and this is a fitting introduction song for them. Now you need to check out "Pumpin On Your Stereo" next :)
Supergrass were one of my faves in the mid 90’s. This whole album “I Should Coco” is brilliant and although Alright was the main hit I think it’s my least favourite song on the album. Top tracks by Supergrass are Mansize Rooster, Caught By the Fuzz, Lenny, Sitting Up Straight, Strange Ones and from their 2nd album Richard III and Sun Hits The Sky.
Good old Britpop, what a time to be young.
Man, this song was the sound of summer back in the 90s 👍👍👍👍
Summer of 1995 I think. Was everywhere
@@ltd1980 yes
Supergrass " Pumping On Your Stero" is a total rocker....hopefully we'll get a 90s stream soon!
Yes but please not on live stream. I'm in the UK. We don't get the live streams.
Banger. Big Rolling Stones influences on that one. Fun clip too.
@@paul.kristoff I always thought the music on that track sounded like T-Rex with vocals sounding like a cross between 70s Jagger & Bowie
@@rosa32 Yes we do, just at inconvenient times
@@dopiaza2006 I know I thought they may save it or whatever some other reactors do. No way can I stop up until ridiculous o'clock.
Their album In It For The Money is a bone fide classic. So many great, catchy songs.
Top LP. No filler
My fav album by them. Banger!
Ya it rocks!!
One of the best albums of the 90’s UK Rock explosion of bands. Supergrass and Super Furry Animals just made albums that they wanted to make. And both were faves .
I got the album with a extra disc of their B-sides. Good stuff!
Youthful exuberance!! That’s it exactly!
“Caught by the fuzz” is another good one of theirs
Nice. One of the best, and most consistently quality British bands from the 90s. Brad nailed it.
Nice location at Portmerion in North Wales where the tv series The Prisoner was filmed
Love love love! Supergrass! English 90's pop just rock's!
oh man these britpop reactions are hitting me hard with nostalgia. right in my informative years. getting me emotional.
Formative years. Unless you spent your teenage years imparting useful information to all and sundry?
The mid-90s was probably the period in recent history when popular music tastes were most different between the USA and the UK. Pop and Rock ('Britpop') stayed huge in Britain while Grunge was all the rage across the Atlantic.
I love this song. Always makes me smile. Now it’s in like a million commercials so it’s strange hearing it in random places.

Stereophonics is a great Brit band to checkout
Indeed.
Can't stress this enough! pleeeeeeease yes , you need some Kelly Jones.
Defffooo!!!
supergrass are a fantastic band. so many good songs. in it for the money is one of my favourite albums
Supergrass are criminally underrated. Try “Richard III”
Quintessential "Brit Pop"!
Youthful exuberance is spot on.
saw them live in '97, good times.

It's actually from late '80s - early parts of '00s. Mid '90s were the PEAK years.
"Pumping on your stereo" is a banger and has a hilarious video ass well - definitely worth checking out.
Best TH-cam channel Iv found in over 2 year❤️
MOVING by Supergrass... most definitely
God damn this brings back good memories. British music back then had a feel that just made you happy

What was the name of your band?

Smiled right through that song, I was 12 when this came out. It was all over the radio in Ireland every summer
a song and video doing a great job of describing nearly every young adult's life in the 90s.
Loving you guys expanding your palette. Peace and light to your days🙏
also part of the "clueless" movie soundtrack
I have heard this and really like it , it reminds me if you look at this video of watching The Monkees sing we are the young generation Hey Hey We are the Monkees. Its same kind of theme.

great reaction- pumping on your stereo is brill too.
Gaz, the singer, had just turned 19 when this came out.
YES! SUPERGRASS!

Would be a great tune for them to react to on their Halloween night stream.
Agreed 👍🏻
Well that’s something I never heard of before wow incredible thanks for introducing me to that that’s absolutely exquisite….
Hah! They're playing this song a lot on my local 90's radio station recently.
Try "Moving" from their self-titled 1999 album. One of their best tunes from a ridiculously underated album. It is such a big leap from the novelty vibes of "Alright": moody, artsy, and even groovy...enjoy!
Always on my playlist while traveling through airports or for that detached vibe
absolutely magnificent song!
Ah man so cool to dabble with a bit of Brit indie. Was great at the time.
Try Pulp - Babies!
V.apt too :-)🎉

this song shaped my feeling of the 90s in a way that the 90s probably didn't deserve
Yay more Brit rock!!
“The sound of youthful exuberance” - Brad got it in one! 😊
Other than that, yeah this is definitely a very “British” song.
Great band, very catchy!
I remember partying in a cave, behind a waterfall with my school mate's back in the mid 90s and singing this very loudly while inebriated, lol. We was away for the weekend doing the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. Great treasured memories.
Great memories!
Love that you are covering some 90's UK classics. Stone Roses next?
Omg Im 15 again 😂 great summer that year in the UK
Did I see Brad smiling and jyst enjoying this song?
Lex, you are rubbing off on him. He's learning to feel the music!
Most English Groups have a great sense of humour which is why you, rightly,picked up "Madness-Our House" vibes😀
Supergrass is amazing. It was also featured in Clueless.
90s Brit Pop🎶🎶🎶
Staying Out For The Summer by Dodgy has the same vibe. You'd like it too. Both Britpop classics.
One of the very best bands of the 90's. They have some amazing songs.
Another track (& video) of theirs that share the same 'Madness' of 'Our House' fame kind of not really taking it seriously vibe is 'Pumping on your Stereo' - & their track 'Richard III' is just a straight up Rocker. Well worth a listen.
Sounds like post-modern bubble gum music
you say its not exactly how you think of pop because its britpop a British pop music culture from the 90s
just seen you guys reacted to oasis aswell, HUGE HUGE part of britpop
This has a real 60s vibe to it, one of their best tracks. :)
Madness and supergrass never broke America but they were both popular in Britain
Welcome to Britpop. Supergrass were definitely one of the best, maturing and evolving with each album.
"Youthful exuberance" sums up quite well hw the mid-90's in the UK were an optimistic time. We had blazing hot summers, the Tory government on its way out, Euro 96...., and Britpop.
One of the great bands that never broke big in the US, makes me feel old, they have a Rotary telephone in the video.. When music was just fun, not much of that today.
This was how Brit Pop was! Great years!
Not a group i was really 'in to', but always made me smile.
YES!
Supergrass and The Cars, two of the most underrated bands in rock history
They have a fun song called "Pumping on Your Stereo" that you should check out. Also a lovely ballad called "Low C" where they shot the video up at Weeki Wachee!
so fun being able to hear so many songs for the first time again through you guys. check out supergrass - mary, totally different vibe. or pilot - magic, if you haven't already. cheers.
I used to work with Gaz when he was 16 and just starting out, Imagine my surprise 2 years later when this became number one and I saw him on't telly!
They were kids. 18 or 19 when this came out
I've heard this on a movie, I think it was Clueless. I may be wrong though.
One line you definitely couldn't put into an American song . " we go out smoke a f#@ put it out "
Ha ha I was thinking the same thing lol😂
Brits have always had a sound and it’s beautiful
Emerged from Oxford about the same time as Radiohead, completely different vibe but great memories of the 90s....
Love Richard III, among all the others listed before. Very different band from one song to the next. Love these guys.
This strikes something deep in my childhood memories - pretty sure it was used on several Bri'ish TV adverts, and possibly in an episode(s) of Baywatch? I forget what other Britpop you reacted to already, but Blur, Pulp, Oasis and The Verve are all out there, and a degree of separation away are Embrace, Manic Street Preachers, The Charlatans, Ash, Garbage, Stereophonics, Muse...
Check out more Britpop bands like: The Verve, Shed Seven, Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, Pulp, etc.
Loving the Chelsea shirt. Blue is the colour.!
This album was an instant buy for me.
Yer supergrass cool little band!!
It's very different to what we have in the UK too. In the grand scheme of things there's not much British music that sounds like this
Used to be..
Great live band great performance live
That is 1990's Brit Pop!!!!
Caught by the Fuzz got me with these blokes.
Great band! You'll like the pumping on the stereo video! They worked with Jim Henson who did the Muppet show etc
It IS very different it's Brit Pop!
I love that you’re reacting to off the beaten path artists that were talented but were largely overlooked in the states. You should react to to their other songs like:
-Going Out
-Caught by the Fuzz
-Diamond Hoo Ha Men
-Rush Hour Soul
-Mary
-Grace
I was young at the time.
You've finally checked out a hidden UK gem, and this is a fitting introduction song for them. Now you need to check out "Pumpin On Your Stereo" next :)
Listen to Sun hits the Sky, brilliant!!
You should do their song "Pumping On Your Stereo" is has a unique video and "Rush Hour Soul" is another good song by Supergrass.
Long live powerpop!
Supergrass have propers bangers…. RIchard III is good as any rock song of the past 30 years
Supergrass were one of my faves in the mid 90’s. This whole album “I Should Coco” is brilliant and although Alright was the main hit I think it’s my least favourite song on the album. Top tracks by Supergrass are Mansize Rooster, Caught By the Fuzz, Lenny, Sitting Up Straight, Strange Ones and from their 2nd album Richard III and Sun Hits The Sky.
I'm surprised they never heard this song before. It has been used in many commercials.
They some more great songs like “Late In The Day
Love super grass please do more
Need to check out "Moving" as well by Supergrass.
