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

Bis-Kandy Pop
Blur -Park Life
Sleeper- Inbetweener

Placebo- Nancy Boy (I hope this counts)
Ash- Girl from Mars
Primal Scream- Come Together

Oceon Colour Scene - The River Boat Song
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
James - Sit Down

where are my Shine compilation gals?!

Dandy Warhols… Garbage… Elastica… Sleeper

For me, that era all started with Stone Roses Fool's Gold. I remember being in a nightclub and hearing the intro - race to the dancefloor - it was so different, so new and such a groove!

Pulp - Common People
Oasis - Live Forever
Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow

But yeah, Stone Roses overall the best for sure, agree with PP!

Great thread! Gonna spend some time revisiting some of these on YouTube. Here are just a few I love…

Kula Shaker - Hey Dude
Elastica - Connection
Gene - Fighting Fit

Popped into the co-op the other day and they were playing Garbage. Highlight of my day 😄
My DH is younger than me and had never heard of Garbage when we met 😱

Pulp - Do you remember the first time
Mansun - Wide Open Space
Suede - Beautiful Ones

this is a bit like trying to pick a favourite child

Blur - Country House remains a favourite of mine. So many good songs.
Suede - Animal Nitrate. Still remember hearing it on the radio for the first time and being blown away by it.
Elastica - Connection

Loved the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays
and Charlatans but think of them as different from Britpop (Madchester)

I’m only happy when it rains - Garbage
Some might Say - Oasis
Going for Gold - Shed Seven

Creep - Radiohead has to get a mention
Bittersweet Symphony- The Verve ( Just saw R Ashcroft open for Oasis and he was very good).
Yes by McAlmont & Butler is my all time fave song.
Suede - Trash & Animal Nitrate are both fabulous

Im going to check this thread tomorrow night & make a playlist on Apple for my holidays!

Nailed it, I would have picked these three too!

Great thread

Oh yes. Animal Nitrate I think is in a class of its own. I think it started my love for Britpop. I saw Suede 2 years ago & they're still fantastic

Best series of compilations in the 90s. I’ve still got one of them on my iTunes (shine 7 I think)
getting ready for a night out soundtrack every Friday night after watching TFI Friday

Still one of my favourite bands

Are The Stone Roses too early?

I am the Resurrection - Stone Roses
Live Forever - Oasis
Yes - McAlmont & Butler

Blur - tender
oasis - wonderwall
james - sit down

Definitely not too early!

Im with you with Tender. It is one of my all time favourites.
also James and Laid
and Oasis and Champagne Supernova. I also love the one that ended up being the theme to the Royle Family.

Love britpop. The 90’s were definitely my era musically. So many memories of Uni

Totally. Was an amazing time, I was 16 and finally found my people. Saw them at Glasgow Green in 1990, happy days!

Skunk Anansie/Skin were way too rock, cool and sexy to be Britpop IMO! Great choice though.
Cerys Mathews/Catatonia - love Road Rage if they're Britpop, not sure they are either.
Love Portishead Glory box - but again not sure if they're Britpop.

Sorry OP, guess I'm not really a Britpop girl.

All of these are Britpop! I can't even really explain what makes a band Britpop, I just know it when I hear it! Oh and the fact that they probably appeared on my compilation albums like Shine....
