Suede (called The London Suede in the United States) are an English alternative rock band of the 1990s and the early 2000s that were cited as starting the Britpop musical movement, and reinventing English guitar-band rock music. Through their several incarnations, they were able to consistently put out albums that charted well, while still holding the respect of critics. Although they never achieved great success in North America, they are considered by some to be one of the most influential British rock bands of the 90s.
