Amount of Electric Guitar

I don't know much about Ocean Colour Scene, but the songs I do know seem to contain a fair amount of electric guitar, which goes against what's said in paragraph 3. Could anyone who knows the band better help on this subject? Thanks. Tkos 22:15, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: On the leyline

The new article On the leyline relates to an anticipated fourth album release, indicating that not much is known about the album. Until details are available on the album, I would suggest that the album title be a redirect to Ocean Colour Scene and that a section here be devoted to the anticipated release. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the album is to be realised within the next few months, as the article suggests, then why not leave it as it will soon serve a purpose merging it to just have the article created again in a matter of weeks seems a waste of effort. Kejoxen 21:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Colaborations move under the heading of trivia, this is because only Simon was involved in the making of the world cup 98 song

Contributing artists

Is it really necessary to have such a long list of people who have contributed to OCS albums? Most of the people listed are only session muscians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Souldriver x (talk • contribs) 11:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How did they get their name?

If any one knows how they got their name, an improvement to this article could be if that were explained in the article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A simple Google search reveals an explanation on their official site. It's not detailed, but given that it's on their official site, it's probably the most accurate explanation out there. Julianhall (talk) 11:15, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you'd taken the time, Julianhall, to tell us just what that explanation was; because it's not there now!

Ocean Colour Scene, TFI and Britpop

a quote from the NME^[2]:

"With only maybe 20 actual Britpop bands to play with, compilation compilers, listicle writers and documentarians, by necessity, expanded the edges of the scene to take in swathes of bands that had arse all to do with it: The Verve, Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead, Ocean Colour Scene, Reef".

I would agree with the NME that Ocean Colour Scene are not really a Britpop, but - along with Reef - lumped in with the scene due to their association with TFI Friday^[3]^[4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.172.230 (talk) 13:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
