Problems[edit]

Shockingly bad page. John Robb did not come up with the expression "Britpop", and Sounds folded three years before Britop even happened. Sounds was a good paper - it deserves better than this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.50.152 (talk) 18:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have a vague recollection that John Robb did indeed coin the term Britpop, but he applied it to the Madchester/baggy bands of the late 80s/early 90s; a coinage that clearly failed to stick. Britpop as applied to bands such as Blur and Oasis was (I think) the work of Stuart Maconie in NME. Matthau (talk) 04:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ISSN?[edit]

What was the ISSN for Sounds? - David Gerard (talk) 11:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds Is Back :)[edit]

https://www.facebook.com/soundsmag/ Here is the evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.50.127.186 (talk) 20:10, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge Sounds Obscurist chart into Sounds (magazine). There is practically nothing that can establish independent notability of the former article. A mention of the chart in the magazine article should suffice. -The Gnome (talk) 10:54, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:35, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation[edit]

Seem to recall the name of the paper being pronounced "zounds"? Anyone recall this?85.255.237.48 (talk) 22:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
