Best overlooked Britpop songs

[Floogal]

Absolute radio have recently done a countdown of the most popular Britpop (and some Manchester) tracks. There was a lot of good songs, but there is a few lesser known songs that I love.
Mine are:
Everything will flow by Suede.
Alma Matters by Morrissey
Get higher by Black grape
Corpses by Ian Brown
You can talk to me by Seahorses
Coffee and TV by Blur
5:19 and 'Untouchable' by Rialto
This is Hardcore by pulp
Stand by me by oasis (until the Halifax advert 😡)

Nice Guy Eddie by sleeper

Sleeper really are great - I wish I had spent more time on them and less on Oasis at the time. I'm having a Britpop weekend in a couple of weeks where I see Sleeper one night and Gene the next.

Favourite songs from that era include:
London can you wait? Gene
Statuesque - Sleeper
On and On - Longpigs
Showgirl- The Auteurs (and Chinese Bakery)
To the birds - Suede
Town - Northern Uproar
Happy Shopper - 60ft Dolls

Which way should I jump by the Milltown Brothers
Arclight by The Fat Lady Sings
Sleep by Marion
Move by The Inspiral Carpets

Bartender and the Thief Stereophonics.
Govinda by Kula Shaker

Probably not hardly known but I love Babies by Pulp

How high - Charlatans
Loved a bit of Cast back in the day too. Sandstorm especially. Saw them opening for Oasis last month and danced my socks off.

Omg I’m going to play some of these soon, so much nostalgia!

Metal Mickey and so Young by Suede are a couple of their underplayed brilliant songs, as is the Asphalt World.

Thanks - I somehow managed to get tickets to Gene at The Brudenell, Leeds while in Japan on 4G signal. Have you seen that they are doing more dates? https://www.geneofficial.com/live/

I saw them in 1996 - phenomenal.

I love Cast! Walk away is one of my all time favourite songs - beautiful lyrics that get me every time I hear it

Slight Return - The Bluetones

On Standby-Shed Seven
Great Things-Echobelly

This was the first song on a mixtape a boy I fancied made me back in the day. It has a special place in my musical memories.

so many great tracks mentioned on this thread. I’m making myself a Spotify nostalgia “mixtape” later.

Saturn 5 - Inspiral Carpets
Getting Better - Shed 7
Insomnia - Feeder
Whipping Piccadilly - Gomez

Rialto were support for Sleeper last night.

Can anyone remember this:

The singer from Rialto is even better looking at 57 then he was in the 90s!

@MakingPlans2025 Different Class is one of my favourite albums ever. The weird thing is, Common People is the least good song on the album. All good songs. Same goes for Great when you're straight by black grape.

I snogged him once, Louis. In Tunbridge Wells. When he was in Kinky Machine.

Wide Open Space by Mansun
12 Reasons Why by My Life Story
Female of the Species by Space
Dragging Me Down by Inspiral Carpets

I turned 16 in 1990 and love the pre Britpop stuff like Jesus Jones, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and the Wonderstuff.

I love your username - off to see the Stuffies soon at Shepherd's Bush.
