Travis

[Inner Smile]

I've been listening to a lot of Travis lately and they have some real gems

Sing
Turn
Driftwood
Side
Flowers in the window

Thoughts??

AGOG this hasn't been met with a FLURRY of engagement.

Sing and Flowers In The Window are amongst my most DESPISED songs of all time. Twee twee twee.

Turn and Driftwood are the keepers.

It's strange how FORGOTTEN they are, given they're really to blame for the Coldplays and Keanes and Snow Patrols.

God it's annoying.

I mentioned this recently in the TOTP thread but I hold The Man Who by Travis fully responsible for the flood of shite maudlin indie that haunted the charts for several years afterwards.

For the most part, in small doses they fell JUST the right side of twee for me. But yes, their success did usher in some horrible shite.

Don't you like Side @Shoat ? Thought it would be right up your street

The Invisible Band is a great album but the singles didn't reflect the more experimental nature of the album and all sounded as if they could have come from The Man Who. Releasing "Reoffender" as the lead single from 12 Memories was commercial suicide - a song about domestic violence with a video in which the band beat each other up and all have graphic injuries by the end was never going to set radio and TV alight and, by that time, Coldplay had stolen their shtick.
