message: "The chord progression as featured in Richard III was banned by the Catholic church in the 16th Century for being "satanic".
I'd prefer to replace this with a link to the page on Tritones, if anything. The song only features a tritone in one chord progression. --Ritchie333 15:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think Supergrass are an alternative rock band. A lot of their output is very mainstream, hence their chart success. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AaronRosenthal (talk • contribs) 11:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternative Rock 

message: Quote: Supergrass' origins lie in the band The Jennifers, (not to be confused with the American band of the same name), formed at Wheatley Park School, which featured a 16-year-old Coombes on vocals and Goffey (then 18) on drums.  End quote.
Which Coombes? Gopherbassist 04:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Which Coombes?

message: A couple of statements struck me as unclear in this section.  Firstly, "After having finished their year-long supporting tour" - is this supporting the last album or another band? I presume the former. Secondly, the article currently states "they recorded their as yet untitled sixth studio album with Nick Launay in Berlin, on June 13th" - it seems unlikely that they recorded an album in one day - is this when they finished recording or when they started?--Michig 17:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "The album was praised for its joyous, fun attitude which seemed to sum up the "Cool Britannia" mood of the time and was in contrast to more serious or cynical Britpop bands such as Blur or Suede" This is POV and not fact. Even if it is the POV of a number of music journalists, where's the citation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gooneradam (talk • contribs) 17:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cynical Bands 

message: This article needs a lot more references. The page currently has 3 7 references which isn't enough really. If the guys who regularly edit this page do some searching for references to back up things written in the article that would be good.
I'll be helping out too. 
Get to it! :@) --TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 05:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: In the 'Britpop years and height of fame: 1994–1998' section of the main Supergrass article, it says the song 'Caught by the Fuzz' was about Gaz being arrested for possession of cocaine.
However, in the article for the song itself, it says cannabis was the drug he was in possession of.
There were no references next to the cannabis one, but the reference next to the cocaine one has no mention of cocaine, but simply refers to a 'controlled substance'.
Which was it???Feathery Sunshine (talk) 18:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cocaine or Cannabis? 

message: I changed the article to use the singular "Supergrass is a ... band", as the noun "band" is singular. Someone has now reverted that change. I think the singular is grammatically correct, but I also note that other band articles use the plural, so I bring it here for discussion. Any thoughts? -- Boing! said Zebedee 14:32, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: 'are' is correct in British English, which should be used here as the subject is a British band. See American_and_British_English_differences#Formal_and_notional_agreement. --Michig (talk) 15:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's cool, thanks. I am a Brit myself - I've obviously been spending too much time around Americans ;-) -- Boing! said Zebedee 19:48, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just a heads-up that I have found an abandoned Flickr account with a number of really good shots of the band and its members at a party in 2007. If anyone knows what the event was or can identify anyone else from the party, please let me know as I imagine that some of them could be very useful images of the subjects (if notable) for Commons (they have the correct clearance for Commons uploads). I recognise Pearl Lowe and think Daisy Lowe is also in the images. Images of Colin McDowell and Susanna Lau have already been ID'd and uploaded but I'm not sure who anyone else is. Anyway, if anyone can help ID, do let me know on my talk page who is who, or feel free to upload some of the better images - I'm sure some can be cropped down to decent headshots.

message: The Jennifers were a short-lived, unsuccessful group who are only notable as a precursor to Supergrass. The article lacks reliable sources and any useful content can be easily worked into the Supergrass article. Jellyman (talk) 06:58, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
