The Britpop one hundred hall of joy! - Classics only.

Credit to the Nation were Britpop?

67] Pulp: Babies

i've always thought of it as more reminiscent of a certain strand of 60s pop - but then that's what britpop was all about wasn't it?
that's my favourite saint etienne moment (hmm...maybe hobart paving...hmmm...maybe 'i buy american records'...hmmm...maybe....no i'll stop there) . unlike most people, i prefer their 'fluffy' stuff that you're not (really) supposed to like - largely because they do it so damn well.

i could chuck about ten of their tracks in, but instead

64. elastica - waking up

sure, it was a rip off, but it was a good one.

63. pulp - she's a lady

Definitely.

66. The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo

Ya-ha. April 1993 in select was the big article/cover (by stuart maconie i think). circa 'modern life' and 'suede'

77. The Nubiles - "Layabout" (Justine Frischmann's favourite record of 1994, as I recall, and one of mine too)

=first band i ever saw (supporting blur)

Credit to the Nation were Britpop?

yeah, why not?

59. The Divine Comedy - Something For The Weekend

actually from '99 and quite dancey and perhaps not really in the same meld as much else here, but it's the best single they ever did imo

It gets no more Britpop surely.

Eng-pop surely?

especially the long version with the funny whale noises on the end.

no, really.

well phshaw, i'm finding it hard to find it, even after all this time.

57) Fat Les 'Vindaloo'

53. Chumbawamba - Someone's Always Telling You How To Behave

B-b-but Ailsa a part pretending it's speaking for the whole is the entire POINT of Britpop!

I am also peeved because I wrote a big long post about how Tattva was great despite Kula Shaker's general odiousness, but didn't post it for fear of being sniggered at. So cheers, Enrique, I'm glad it's not just me.

45) Catatonia "You've Got a Lot to Answer For"

no, really.

did they include this on the singles comp? i had the 12"

44) Northern Uproar 'Rollercoaster' (I'm sorry, you can disregard all mychoices, I hate them too, I'm just trying to keep it representative of the truth)

No Ailsa, it is just you, JS are the WORST BAND IN HISTORY

44. vanessa paradis - be my baby
43. catatonia - mulder and scully (the first time i heard that voice - affected, of course, but somehow still kind of cool. i still like her.)

and aisla....? i have to admit i liked tattva too.

but if anyone mentions 'You're Gorgeous' i will kill them

42. Reverend Black Grape.

Will anyone be brave enough to add Ocean Colour Scene? I feel like 'The Riverboat Song' deserves to be here through its sheer omnipresence at the time, but frankly I just can't quite bring myself to do it.

hmmm... vanessa paradis = not very british, innit.

ignore that one, then..

although it SOUNDS like britpop.

point taken...

what the hell, then, let's shove some saint etienne in there...

44. saint etienne - hobart paving... just because..

I read your mind Jae

42. Bubonique - "Oi Copper"

did they include this on the singles comp? i had the 12"

it was the last track on the cd single. i haven't seen the singles comp. - wasn't keen on a lot of their recent output.

The Wannadies moved to London didn't they? So I think they're allowed.

37. Shampoo - Trouble

indeed

black grape fucking ruled, but britpop??

36) Underworld 'Born Slippy' = dance music it's okay to shout along to. Tico, this is serious sociological work: don't let you subjective sense-impressions fool you!

Mencap: WORD!

you mean there are people who didn't in 1996 ?

Very embarrassing to be on the front cover of the @NME this week. Might have to sue.

Also, Bis.

I went looking for a postable list, didn't find one yet, but they are doing a 'vote yr favourite'

"Caught by the fuzz" is winning, which.. mm, I'm OK with actually...

https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2017/feb/15/britpop-songs-10-of-the-best-oasis-blur-pulp

Plenty of comments of the 'bbbbut what about Ocean Colour Scene/ dodgy' but this article seems to have used *that* "Select" front page as the initial template..

They should know better than to inflate Haines ego like that.

Sleeper is reuniting.

Ash's Girl from Mars suggested twice, but no rep for the brilliant Goldfinger, till now

Classics only.

My list would be only Supergrass, Blue and Pulp songs and probably wouldn't get to a hundred.

Blue?

Technically they're pop from Britain.

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?

Is that true?

I mean, estimate a percentage..

well i imagine geir subscribes to the aryan racial theories of Houston Stewart Chamberlain so to him yes
