It has been a good few months for Britpop reunions. I was there when Blur got back together at Glastonbury, which was quite an occasion.
I would argue that Suede were one of the most important bands of the nineties. The debut album kicked down the door and allowed Britpop to happen. Dog Man Star was an album of end to end, pure magnificence and Coming Up has nuggets of pure gold that reverberated around indie dancefloors. True the final two albums were disappointing but live, until the very end, they still packed one hell of a punch.
It's great news they are getting back together. Let's hope that Bernard Butler can get back involved somewhere along the line. And let's hope that it is more than a one off reunion. Hopefully Glastonbury in June awaits.
I wholly agree. Suede were just one of the best bands arounnd back then (is it so long ago) and encapsulate those heady Uni days.
