That’s what the greats do. If you like boring single notes then cool, you probably like Pulp and Portishead. Jonny Squire, and pretty much any guitarist of any recent era has recognised this, is one of the most creative and skilled guitarists of a generation. This isn;t “90’s” music , Love is the Law is a proper lead guitarists track regardless of decade. If you think that its a two note where one will do then absolutely this not your genre. Its a proper track that didn’t get the recognition and the whole album is a brilliant guitar piece as a whole.

Strangely enough, I'll listen to this album from time to time, which is far more often than i listen to anything else from the Britpop genre, other than Suede. Has anyone ever heard the 2nd album demos? Found them online years ago and they're a real mixed bag! Squire a genius, but one who i think doesn't quite know how to get the balance right. Common knowledge that live gigs especially were very difficult because he wanted to be louder than everyone else. Chris Helme i think is getting a bashing here. A good vocalist, lent some decent lyrics and renowned for being a decent guy. Agreed the performance is a bit flat, and the crowd look disinterested, but probably the wrong platform for them really.

It depends how you define creativity in pop music i think.. and if you actually even consider it a genre at all. More a term for music press and media to use to help sell corporate product than a genre. Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Suede, Radiohead for example.. they don't sound like each other at all, they were just around at the same time. It's not a genre, it's a commercial label. "Guitar based pop/rock" doesn't sell as many NME's and albums as making people believe that a 'thing' is happening though.

I have to agree with you. There were big hair lead guitar driven bands like GnR and then the opposite like Nirvana. There was a backlash against heavy metal in the 90s including long noodling solos. You had to almost hide your talent in a band like the Stone Roses. Weller’s a great guitarist who didn’t indulge in much solo work until Wildwood. Check out Glenn Tilbrook’s super melodic, fast solo in Another Nail in My Heart 1980. He’s never really gotten the credit he deserves as a guitarist.
