I wonder who I'm thinking of then... I think they might have been a jazz outfit, but quite modern, dancey.

In an entirely aesthetic and platonic sense, of course.

Particularly the one with the quiff.
Slowdive, they got better for certain. Pygmalion was a work of singular beauty, and their last album.

Oasis - although maybe I just grew out of them.

"Oasis - although maybe I just grew out of them."
No, that's a common opinion. Oasis' first album "Defintely Maybe" is far far better than its two follow-ups and even Noel Gallagher acknowledges that DM is a better album than "What's the story...". Oasis were a classic example of a band that ran on media-hype and believed what they were hearing about themselves and acted accordingly. "What's the story" and (especially) "Be Here Now" sound like albums by a still-maturing band who carried on as though they'd been around for a decade. WTSMG drifts between the straight-up rock&roll of their debut and the sort of pompous crypto-prog that characterised much of "Be Here Now".
It's a shame because, once the Britpop bubble burst in 1997, Oasis were one of the bands who seemed to be suddenly relegated to "rubbish" status by the media who had once supported them (see also Kula Shaker and Mansun), this in spite of the fact that they released a hell of a lot of good stuff (some of it, like "Round Are Way" and "Acquiece" released as B-sides).
