"We need to start setting new standards. Make 1997 Year Zero. People say rock ‘n’ roll’s dead. Is it, fuck! It’s just people’s imaginations have died. The ultimate crime is not to stimulate yourself or other people, and then you get some spotty little student singing Kinks songs on The Chart Show. But it only sets it up better for people who are actually doing the business. And this time they’re listening."
Richard Ashcroft, NME, 1997.
