There was a moment in the 90s for maybe like 6 months or so when Suede were unequivocally the most important band in the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNlLkF3_cH8

Yet another example of how Brits can be the most insular and provincial people in the world. I can buy that Suede might’ve been the most important band in the UK for about six months, but they were never among the top 5 most important bands in the world at any given time

So remind me who were the major shartmerican bands of 1994? Pearl Jam? Green Day? Lmao

Suede [Columbia, 1993]
Make-or-break is "Sleeping Pills," when Brett Anderson drawls/whines/croons "You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign" so tunefully, repetitively, naggingly, inescapably that you swear he said "I'm an asshole" even though he pronounces "air sign" a lot more clearly than the line about Valium that follows. It's fingernail-on-blackboard city for anyone who doesn't believe Marc Bolan is Chuck Berry, and at first I couldn't stand it. Now it's a fave moment on this appropriately overhyped, surprisingly well-crafted coming out. More popwise and also more literary than the Smiths at a comparable stage, Suede's collective genderfuck projects a joyful defiance so rock and roll it obliterates all niggles about literal truth. If you think their victories over depression have nothing to do with you, be grateful you can make do with a report from the front. A−

They had some brief US buzz before that guy sued them and they had to change to "London Suede", however they were always too "artsy" for the American normie who preferred the plodding lad rock of Oasis. I mean even early Blur was too much for the yanks. That said Suede were the best of all those bands

Suede definitely were one of the best britpop bands, but never managed to have their own Wonderwall or Bittersweet Symphony or Song 2, so they lost the game unfortunately

Their androgynous shtick kinda doomed them to a niche audience, despite having great songs with pop melodicity.

I bet metal bands have similar stats.

How do they compare to another 'hybrid sex' band like Placebo

Again, learn English before you try to talk down to anyone about the color of their skin. Also, Suede weren't even the biggest band from their home country let alone the world so shut the fuck up already.

Suede was very popular among the US alt-rock "elites" back in the late 93, early 94.

Cobain was wearing this badge with Suede's debut single Drowners that came out in 1992, picrel

Evan Dando took a selfie with a photo he had taken with Bret in 1993. Picrel.

These people were up to speed and keeping an eye on what was going on on the Brit scene. And the knew a great band when they saw one.

>>131955846
Mansun was another good band that remained even more niche than Suede.
Their sound was too sophisticated for a mainstream audience.

OP, were you even alive?
