My 3rd favorite band of all time. Have just about every single physical CD release they've done (singles included). It's amazing to me how their sound matured from their first record to their last one. Any other fans out there!? 8-)

    They're technically the first real band I saw live in concert, opening for Pearl Jam in 2000. Not a bad band, but I never listened to much of their stuff.

    Listened to Road to Rouen today on the way to work. What a great album - I think this is the peak of their diversity in their catalog. Saw their final album as a bit of a return to form. "I Should Coco" is still one of the best records I've ever heard though. Love the BritPop sound!

    Really loved them up to Life on Other Planets, but the drop off in quality really made me lose interest.

    Those first three albums though, man.

    I have been loving the Self-Titled area, just picked up all the singles from that time too. Well worth seeking out.

    Such a great band all around. Surprised they weren't more popular in the USA. I remember front row for Pearl Jam in 2000 and the band all turned my way and the drummer pointed me out and played Caught By The Fuzz by request! Yeah!

    Gotta love Supergrass! I always thought they were pretty underrated, they always seemed to lumped in with the 'pop' crowd (probably because of how big a hit 'Alright' was) but they had some really great songs. "In It For The Money" is a fantastic record, I played that to death when it came out.

    Have you heard the Hot Rats album? It's Gaz and Danny's covers album and it's worth checking out too.

    Supergrass rules! Caught them with PJ in 2000 like many here. 

    They are always in my regular rotation.

    Is this reissue basically what came with their mega studio box set from 2019? In It For The Money is my fave from them and they are still in my top 3 all time fave bands!
