Just wanted to say, I really do appreciate you doing the Brit Rock series like feeder, placebo and Manics in particular. I guess while viewership wise they underperformed, they’ve so important in keeping the memory and history alive as time passes. It’s appreciated!

My guy, you were born to do this. I love your work. The way that you talk about music is beautiful and meaningful and almost always interesting.

Rlitzkrieg Bop Feb '76, Anarchy UK Nov '76. first punk song. I'm subbed to a lot of music channels. YOURS is my favorite. I share it all of the time. Your channel is superior to Professor of Rock, Rick Beato, and Rock and Roll Stories, even though I like that kid.

late to this party but i would love another placebo video personally. woulf also like a video on the B and C tier britpop bands of the era – the stuff below the Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede milieu. also, love the Tegan & Sara shoutout – i wish everyday they could put something as unique and interesting as their 2000s records again

Shame to hear the Brit rock are your most underrated.
I got into your channel via the Skunk Anansie one, I guess there's prob little chance of a Terrorvision or Reef one now 😢

Is there a Strawberry Switchblade video in the works?

Late to party, I am presently binging your video essays to an unhealthy degree. Each video is like a musical composition, a concept album of sorts, with specific tracks, rhythm, musicality. You rock! As mentioned in a previous post, I would love to see a New British Cannon on Remain in Light (after all Eno is a Brit, right?). It is such an epic album that cemented afrobeat in western pop.

RE: Canadian bands. TEGAN & SARA are incredible. But check out METRIC. They are FANTASTIC! Along with T&S they are my favourite current Canadian bands. In the end, though, I feel that METRIC is the better out of the 2.

i just want you to know that I've watched yr videos on Skunk Anansie and Placebo at least 3 times each, they're two of my favourite bands ever <3 <3

Think my last song will be Sitting in Limbo by the legend Jimmy Cliff. Pretty fitting summary of the end of this realm… As to 4 years into 2020s I'd put Wolf Alice album Blue Monday at the top, so under appreciated that band. I also had them as my favorite band of 2010s, lastly Daliborova Granje's "Hainan" was my album of year in 2020. Great Channel!

I love your content. I am a metal and hardcore fan, and mostly the underproduced, raw and aggressive underground side of it, but whenever a new TT video drops, I'm there! Even if it's about something I couldn't care less about, there's always some interesting tidbit to be found, as for an example, the one about Spice Girls was a lot more interesting than I gave it credit for. I also got to know stuff I did not know about, Slowdive, The Rentals or 3Teeth for example, for which I am eternally grateful. Despite my kinda neanderthal listening habits, I do appreciate a plethora of other styles/artists, and some of those I wouldn't have known about without your channel.
And as always: I really hope you do a New British Canon one about Napalm Death one day.
Cheers!

Slowdive, "When The Sun Hits". Brings tears to my eyes every single time.
@frequentfaetrapflyer

That's really interesting that your Brit rock videos didn't do as well. Most of the videos I've watched completely have been about specifically British artists.
@bouncypear_net
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
I'm surprised you've never done a video on Jamiroquai, at least not that I could find.
@marcelozilinski5449
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
I didn't know you had a video on Placebo, which happens to be my favorite band, so I'm immediately going to fix this mistake and watch it. Cheers!

tbh, I was so thankful you made this Feeder video! They were the first band I reeeaaally got obsessed with.
I remember, my best friend got a pc with internet and iMesh and stuff, and I got to know Feeder & Ash thanks to the Gran Turismo soundtrack, and just tried to get absolutely anything, these guys put out. GT my brother and I played like endlessly, obsessively (with him at one point deleting my safe file after weeks of progress, and me getting a nervous breakdown…), and Feeder’s "Sweet 16" burnt through our brains as did Ash’s "Lose Control". But, you know siblings, of course, my brother was into Ash, I was into Feeder, and we gave each other shit, all the time. I also remember, driving the Trial Mountain circuit sooooo much, and waiting for the countdown at the start of the race, while the intro of "Sweet 16" got me all fired up… or "Shade", making me drive like a berserk… good times!
Btw., I made my Feeder playlist with 80 personal faves, sometime after I watched your video essay, smth I’ve tried multiple times before but never really got done until then tbh. Regarding Feeder, I definitely had this negative bias for quite a while, because I liked them when I was so young, 13, 14yo, I could hardly like ’em now, right?!
Of course, that was a bit dumb. And, even though most of their songs are quite conventional structurally (other than "Bad Hair Day" which I hated back then and love today), now I really can appreciate their sonic and stylistic variation, like on my all-time faves "Living in Polaroid", "Bug", "Child in You", "Getting to Know You Well", "Piece by Piece", "So Well", "Cement", "Crash Mat", "Opaque", "Dove Grey Sands"…….. there’s just sooooo much there. I also think, it’s still impressive how vast their b-side catalogue is to this day.
Thank you for your impetus to make me go through these old songs once more and actually find some old hidden love for them, and thanks for the appreciation for this band, which was so important for my personal upbringing and music socialization.
PS: Ash are also nice, but sorry, Feeder up to ’05 win 🙂

I found bands like Priests, Girl band, Deafheaven and many more thanks to your documentaries.
It´d be really cool if you could make a video of A Place to bury strangers.

Would be super interested in a video on the Dunedin Sound genre out of New Zealand in the 80s. Flying Nun record label

August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
You very likely won't read this, but as an American viewer, I'm a huge fan of your Britrock series. Placebo has been my favorite band for three years now, but I also love your Manics video. It was singlehandedly what convinced me to listen to them, and now I have The Holy Bible on CD and Manics as my top artist of the year. I've always sent that video to people to try and make them understand. I watched it in January, and its effects on my music taste still show. The videos may have flopped view-wise, but they've had an impact imo!!
@jessejace
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
You should do a video about the 90's-00's big beat phenomenon (Fatboy Slim, Crystal Method, Chemical Bros, Death in Vegas, etc etc). If you already have, I was unable to find it.
@stephenerickson8107
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
I wish I'd gotten in on the Q&A because I would have asked why no video on There She Goes/The La's
@jaybarrett1227

Jamiroquai need a video 🤷

Would love to see a trash theory on the following,
King Crimson – and the creation of Prog Rock.
Vince Taylor – the drug fueled self proclaimed messiah.
Scott Walker – A man out of time and if god was to sing he would sound like Scott Walker.
Vertigo Records – The first alternative label that became the holy grail of Vinyl collectors.

This is gonna sound weird but you defined my music taste. It was through your videos that I started looking deeper into music.

With your research, storytelling and editing skills, a video about Boards of Canada would've been great!
@TomBarnesmediathink
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
Most significant release of the 2020's? I'm shocked you went pop and missed the chance to call out Sleep Token and dip into the post-genre movement, Oh well, seems like a perfectly good video idea. MMW post-genre is what the 2020's will be known for. Thaks por the post hardcore tips. Love the channel.

wow … as a very long time fan and music listener since the Beatles i hoped that your favourite song by a Canadian band would be "Chapter 8" by Saga. Maybe i am too old being nearly 60 having lost the connection with modern music.
@NoisyAndrew
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
Please don't let the US "we are the only culture" attitude sway your creativity. Brit pop was totally a thing here in Australia and we'll be looking up those videos we may have missed.
Keep up your fabulous (an underused word) toiling.
@starbrite526
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
I'm listening to your videos, you forget there is a person behind the narrator, so it's nice to hear you answer questions based on your insight.
Also, in mentioning ZZ Top's Eliminator inspired the Pet Shop Boys, it was Depeche Mode that inspired ZZ Top for that album. So it comes full circle in terms of how interconnected music is
@jongabso9498
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
As an American fan who loved your Manics, Placebo, Feeder and Skunk videos I take issue with your assertion only Brits love those bands 😂. I'm a queer punk sorta guy and Nancy Boy is a frequent karaoke pick lol. But especially the Manics video, they're amongst your best for sure
@josephyn89
August 11, 2025 at 2:17 am
NOOO I've been a fan forever, can't believe I missed the chance to ask a question. But I love the video anyways!

Sloan Underwhelmed made me go "well fu…" and I had to go see them. I saw them at a college campus months later and started chatted with with bass guitarist after the show. The girl I was with must have looked cold because he offered his cashmere V-neck sweater to her on the condition she came back the next night with it.
I didn't get the girl and he didn't get his sweater back either.

I was very much the right age when those UK post-hardcore scene bands were first around, and if you'd ask people in 2004 who they thought would go supernova and be headlining festivals in 20 years, the answer would have been Hundred Reasons, Funeral for a Friend or Hell Is For Heroes, whose first albums probably outsold Biffy Clyro's many times over. Funny how things turned out.
