Britpop (mid-nineties, in fact) threw up some garbage, I agree, but at least it provided a scene that had a few personalities and 'faces' emerge from it. I kind of like pop music to do that - I appreciate that this isn't what yer US stadium bands are 'for', as such. (NB Hot Pepsi, I wasn't actively dissing any of those acts - I've liked stuff by Boston and Toto, for sure. Just not Journey.)
NB I don't think that Abba are a punch-bag at all these days, are they? Call it revisionism if you like, but I think that Benny and Bjorn's pop 'genius' is generally accepted across the board nowadays.
Put me down as another for the Ghost In You fan club - great song. Think Pretty in Pink remains the Furs' best-known moment, though.
