Top 3 Britpop Bangers!

[ConnieHeart]

Absolute Radio are asking for our top 3 Britpop songs. What are yours?
Mine are (in reverse order):
Kula Shaker - Hush
Radiohead - No Surprises
Suede - Animal Nitrate

Blur - There’s no other way
Suede - Trash
Manics - Design for life

I could go on and on, OP :-)

Blur - Popscene
James - Laid
Pulp - Babies

Far too many to choose from but this is a good start I think!

Dakota, stereophonic
Do you remember the first time? Pulp
Screamadelica Come together, primal scream

Very hard to narrow it down. I would have said suede, but they're already here twice. Ditto blur (I'd have gone for Parklife) and radio head (karma police or creep). And possibly pumping on your stereo, supergrass

Now I'm thinking

I'd rather be liberated,
Find myself captivated
Stop doing
What you keep doing it to

Pulp - Common People
Suede - So Young
Radiohead - Karma Police

If I can addd a fourth, Motorcycle Emptiness- the Manics.

OK you're allowed! 😊

I'd like to add For Tomorrow by Blur

Female Of The Species - Space
Girl From Mars - Ash
What Do I Do Now? - Sleeper

I love Space!!

Dakota is my all time fave track.
Common People Pulp
Animal Nitrate Suede.

You can never have too much Suede!!!

Pulp - Babies
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
Radiohead - Creep

Lush - Ladykillers
James - Laid
Suede - Trash

Any and all Pulp - saw them live earlier in the summer and they were amazing. On Ash, Tim Wheeler randomly popped up on my TikTok FYP the other day and said it was on that day 30 years ago they released Girl From Mars, and played an acoustic version of it. I felt simultaneously a teenager and a thousand years old!

Yes - mcalmont and butler
design for life - manics
common people - pulp

I love James but hate Laid. Waltzing Along or Sometimes for me, please.

There are so many, I can't narrow it down to three (I made a 7 hour long 90s bangers mix-tape on my Apple Music...)

Something for the Weekend - The Divine Comedy
You Showed Me - Lightning Seeds
The Riverboat Song - Ocean Colour Scene
Moving - Supergrass
On Standby - Shed Seven
Ladykillers - Lush
Connection - Elastica

Moving was on my shortlist!

Very surprised & delighted to see absolutely no mention so far of that Manchester band who are on tour atm........

I nearly put Cast No Shadow.

Um... @ConnieHeart

Saturday Night - Whigfield
Inbetweener - Sleeper
Something Changed - Pulp

Whigfield is not Britpop, it's Europop.

What a great question, op, I'm really enjoying reading the lists.

I'll add Blur - Song 2 to the list (although anything by Blur is good for me!) and I'll second Elastica - Connection!

Oops! Wishful thinking 🤣 I actually don't mind that song

I am loving this thread, it's bringing back some fab memories.

I will go with:
Pulp - Common People
James - Sit Down
Feeder - Buck Rogers (although not sure they are fully Britpop!)

@Judystilldreamsofhorses - 1977 was my first CD, I was 14! Arrrgh I feel old!
