I stumbled by the video on Youtube and I remember the days when MTV used to play music all the time. It is also one of my ideas to recreate that experience using Youtube videos and creating a playlist on my blog of the chart toppers. Lets see how successful that attempt would be.

Well, back to the song that used to dominate the screens when I started Secondary School.

Suede, known as The London Suede in the United States, is an English alternative rock band formed in London in 1989 by singer Brett Anderson, guitarist Justine Frischmann, and bassist Mat Osman. The band rose to prominence in the early 1990s, becoming a key figure in the Britpop movement alongside Oasis, Blur, and Pulp. “Beautiful Ones” stands as one of Suede’s most popular singles, released on October 14, 1996, as the second single from their third album “Coming Up.” The track features one of guitarist Richard Oakes’ first guitar riffs, who had joined the band after the departure of original guitarist Bernard Butler. Originally titled “Dead Leg” – a joking threat from bassist Mat Osman to Oakes if he couldn’t write a top ten single – the song indeed became a commercial success, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart and even topping the charts in Iceland for two weeks. “Beautiful Ones” exemplifies Suede’s signature sound, drawing from glam rock influences while maintaining the distinctive vocal style of Brett Anderson that helped establish the band as one of Britain’s most influential alternative rock acts of the era.
