Album of the Day

With a title derived from Cockney slang, I SHOULD COCO captures the thrill of being young and running green. The members of Supergrass - guitarist/singer Gaz Coombes, bassist Mick Quinn and drummer Danny Goffey – hadn't all emerged from their teens when their debut album hit the streets on this day in 1995. The youthful enthusiasm of tracks like “Caught By The Fuzz,” “Mansize Rooster” and “Alright" is infectious, framing Kinks-worthy slices of British life in Buzzcocks-esque pop-punk. Tuneful, fun and occasionally strange, I SHOULD COCO remains Supergrass' most popular album, and one of the most likeable and listenable to emerge from the Britpop era.
