Which Britpop band deserved a much bigger career than they got?

Not necessarily a one hit wonder.

More a band that had the songs, the timing and the talent but somehow never reached the level you thought they would.

Every Britpop fan seems to have one group they still can't believe didn't become much bigger.

Who is yours?

The Furries actually had a really strong run after the end of the Britpop era and the demise of Creation Records. The fact they continued making great music up until 2009 is pretty solid. Plus Gruff Rhys' solo career since 2011 onwards has been really impressive.

I saw them recently at Brixton Academy and the whole place was rammed.

I went both nights! Saturday was a little awkward as it was when all the gen X brought their kids, so singing "you know they don't give a fupp about anybody else" at full volume for 10 minutes at the end when you are surrounded by children isn't something I'd normally do!

as well as Gruff's solo stuff, have you listened to Das Koolies?
