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.

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.

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!

In what way are Black Grape *not* Britpop? To me, in all honesty, they feel like one of the front-runners.

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?
