Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
Was there any? or was the likes of Noel Gallagher and Bernard Butler just miles ahead of everyone?

Would he not be considered well appreciated like Gallagher?

Butler is great, Noel is a hack.
What about Ed O'Brien and Johnny Greenwood!? Well appreciated I suppose
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

As much as I FUCKING LOVE RADIOHEAD!!!!!!! O'Brien is effective while Greenwood is fucking excellent. They were well appreciated IMHO.

Re: Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
Butler was tremendous. Really, really great.
Coxon was the next best. Greenwood is good but I think he's more singular as a producer/arranger.

He always struck me as the Jimmy Page of that era.

Re: Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
I suppose it might have been production tricks rather than any artistry, and they peaked a few years before Britpop, but the guitars on the early Ride EPs are pretty good. I always liked the Family Cat live as well.

In what sense? He's very thin? He stands stage left? I just watched some videos of his solos, and he seems more indebted to Roger McGuinn "random note freakout" than (often tiring) long solo lines that Jimmy Page played.

That he's a better producer and arranger than guitarist.

Re: Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
Ah I get you. (I don't agree that's the case with Jimmy, personally. I think he's very much one of the best guitarists ever, almost perfect. But I know many feel that way.)

He's great, but can be sloppy and is not on par with some of his era or even guitarists in his former band, The Yardbirds. But let's put it this way, his arranging and producing talents are on par with his guitar playing. He's a triple threat, as his Greenwood.

Re: Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
I'd vote for Bernard Butler and Jonny Greenwood aswell. Butler had that Johnny Marr style, lead and rhythm fused into seamless guitar lines but then supercharged with fuzz, phasing, overdrive etc.. You could argue that he overwhelmed some of those early Suede songs but its a real treat to listen to. Its no surprise he went into production, he knew sound. Greenwood was more collaborative, less showy but phenomenal too, especially during the melodic years when he had something to do.
Gaz should get a mention aswell - the only Britpop guitarist playing a Burns, an actual British guitar, and he could turn his hand to anything without it sounding too familiar.
The guy from Boo Radleys should be mentioned aswell.

Re: Underappreciated/Under-rated Guitarists Of The Brit Pop Era
The twin guitar attack of Jelbert and Frederick in the criminally unappreciated Family Cat and Martin Carr from the Boo Radleys all deserve a shout along with Butler. Never really got into Blur, but am prepared to believe Coxon is great.
Andy Miller of Dodgy also deserves a mention: nothing terribly exciting, but if Gaz Coombes is getting a mention, he deserves one too.

I never liked Blur but Coxon was pretty good - when he wasn't falling down drunk or phoning it in.

I think Burns guitars may have been made in China by the 90s!

My son rates him / them too, but I just never really heard much apart from a couple of singles. Found AllBran and the Cheese Monkey a bit – well, a lot – of a turn-off
