Honestly, it makes me happy that people know him for Gorillaz so when they discover Blur, they unlock a Pandora's box worth of gems that also involves his solo stuff and projects like The Good The Bad The Queen, so it works out.
As an American, I totally agree. It doesn't matter what decade it's from either, there's just so many British, UK, & Irish acts I think they're absolutely awesome
Right. Well, as an American who lives in the UK for several months out of the year every year, I've heard my share of crap on both sides of the Atlantic.
i grew up in the 90s and i was totally into britpop, but american music in the first 90s, i mean, nirvana, ratm, rhcp, faith no more, cypress hill, beck, sonic youth, beastie boys, wutang, pearl jam everything was fresh, new, and soulful. on the other hand britpop was something you could really appreciate but not deeply relate to. you still have to say that sgt peppers is the best britpop album at the end of the day
I'm British and can't see what's wrong with this. I'd put Pulp at number one and move Supergrass higher and bump Kuka Shaker for Echobelly or Sleeper. But what would you change?
Rosida Andriyana Ireland doesn’t depend on Britain, they only depend on EU nations and since the UK is leaving the EU we won’t be doing much business with them at all. Even depend is a strong word at that, it would be tough for Ireland to leave the EU but they wouldn’t struggle as much as the UK will
JAGlave Tommy and Peggy moved to Manchester from Ireland in the 60s to find work. If you listen to Peggy talk her accent is obviously mancunian washed but it still has that heavy irish drawl.

@@lukasluna7475 certainly in the charts….one of two Britpop classics along with Wonderwall to be held at #2 by f*ing Robson and Jerome. On this list i couldve gone with any of the top 4 as no1
'Britpop' was a truely golden era of music. It was just a pure party from about 1993 till 1997...great guitar music filled the charts... Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Ash, Supergrass, Cast, Dodgy, Verve, Bluetones... then Diana went for a drive in Paris and all the 'fans' started crying into their beer and listening to fucking Elton John. Wankers.
Elastica??? Elastica sound`s more like Grunge Music then Britpop.... Radiohead- creep/high and dry/karma police/street spirit?????? James-sit down/she`s a star/destiny calling???
I was about 25 when Brit pop came out , so too old. I got the feeling it was pretty much a media manufactured scene though. Crap. Although Blur are a talented bunch.
Blur were very sarcastic and self depricating on their own class and the system in general. It's fine that they're a bit more well off than Oasis, they were aware of it.
Damon's singing style in Blur sounds very working class, and songs like Girls & Boys are about working class lad culture. I don't see anything about them that would make them middle class
A lot of their stuff like Parklife and Girls & Boys came off like a sort of satirical middle class view on working class life. And then Country House is kind of their view on upper class.
Suede, Pulp, blur, Oasis, Elastica, Supergrass... so many good memories. I used to keep a VHS tape in the player to hit record when these songs would come on MTV.
+ladymay30 Well, this is an American perspective of Britpop. Britpop never really took off over there the way it did in the UK. Bittersweet Symphony is probably the best known Britpop track in America due to it being in a film or something. I know Oasis were far less successful in the US than in the UK.
Zlad! Vevo "Oasis was successful in US unlike Blur which were only successful in UK except Song 2!" Where Oasis anywhere near as big as Nirvana were back in the day? In the UK, Oasis and Blur were the two biggest bands of an entire Britpop scene that dominated the UK charts and the rivalry was just like Nirvana v Pearl Jam in the US before them. Nirvana and Pearl Jam were successful in the UK, but there was no rivalry with Pearl Jam. IIRC all Oasis were known for in the US was having shoes thrown at them on stage.
i prefer Live Forever too, and I think it's THE britpop anthem in my opinion, and Oasis is on my top 10 list of favorite bands, but if anything was going to be ahead of it, Bittersweet Symphony is the least offensive to choose lol.
Yeah same. I was like live forever number 2, what?? Then bittersweet symphony. Ok. But i think it should be the other way around. Come on oasis, reform baacckk. I havent bought any albums since.
I love most of these bands, but I think the bands that came right before brit pop deserved more recognition. My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Slowdive, etc...
How this list should look 10. Blur - Girls and Boys 9. M.S.P - Motorcycle Emptiness 8. Pulp - Disco 2000 7. OCS - Day we caught the train 6. The Charlatans- Only one I know 5. Blur - Parklife 4. The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony 3. Pulp - Common People 2. Stone Roses - I wanna be adored 1. Oasis - Live Forever
@@michaelpdrock1 the sample which they got permission to use but was sued my another guy claiming that... anyways it's so complicated google it. Turns out the acoustic version of the song is awesome and the melody is the best part after all.
+Kelly14UK I read something Liam said about Oasis being a response to the anger of grunge; they wanted something more optimistic and wanted to be anti-grunge.
+Kelly14UK They kinda did have something against grunge but it was more so the culture, like the mall culture of America that Damon noticed when touring here, that's why Damon wrote Parklife. As for Oasis it was more so towards the negativity of Grunge.
Damon said he was seeing grunge become more popular in the U.K., so they did what they could to bring the "britishness" back to their music. It's seen in the heavy british accent in his songs and the the british pop culture references.
If Dont Look Back in Anger is not number 1, I quit my subscription. When England lost against Croatia, people sang DLBIA, that's how much that song means.
Fantastic list! There were even a few I didn't know. Not to mention the commentary was more than just a bunch of puns and nice words. I literally learned something from watching this. Well done. Please keep the quality for future videos.
*only watched it because of Suede* *gets disappointed because it only made number 6* btw, Animal Nitrate made #13 on NME's top 100 of the 90s list, and their other song Stay Together even got up at #3
Stay Together is a masterpiece as is most of their work in my opinion. Suede are definitely one of the most underrated bands of the 90's or possibly ever.
Jess Manuel the song was released in 1988, Britpop didn't really start until 1993-94. It's more part of the madchester era, even though the La's aren't from Manchester.
I don't think Americans will ever *fully* understand British 90s and 2000s music, however, I hope they can enjoy it. That said, Bittersweet Symphony should NOT have been top. Common People or Live Forever are the songs that represent the working class Britain waaaay more.
Martin Hare as an American I completely understand. However, I’ll say British people won’t even come close to understanding Kurt Cobain’s impact on music. We had our own movement with politics, society, sports, movies, etc. Even our pop music was ripping the charts in the 90’s. But grunge hit us like a nuclear bomb that took our world as we knew it and flipped it upside down. It wasn’t until Kurt’s death in 94’ and Oasis’ coincidental album drop in 94’ that we payed attention to it. So yes, we don’t understand, but we had our own stuff going on with grunge.
+Matheus Saretti Well, British music would be shit if it wasn't for blues and rockabilly. I'm not American. Just have a basic knowledge of music history and we need to get into the late 50's and early 60's before anything remotely interesting came out of Britain.
Putthatinur Pipe for sure, man. You are right, but let's be honest... from the 80's til nowadays (except for some bands and singers) the american music became so commercial. In my opinion, british music has always valued the innovative.

owain rae pre-britpop. They were 'madchester' - a different era that later went on to inspire Blurs first album ( a complete roses rip-off) so even though the Roses aren't britpop, there wouldn't be such a thing without them
Excellent selection. Being an American, I was not exposed to a lot of these songs until I got a copy of the Rhino Britpop boxed set and finally got turned onto the whole thing. I still listen and rock to a lot of songs from the 1960s. Love The Kinks, plus Paul Revere and the Raiders, for instance. Glad you ranked "Bittersweet Symphony" as No. 1 --- that was a tune I did hear during its heyday. Thanks for sharing this compilation video.
I’m American but was all over Britpop in the 90s and still love it. But we had to work to find it, as Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Supergrass etc got virtually no AirPlay in the US. But this Beatles fan loves the fab influenced Britpop.
just saying, The Stone Roses should have definitely been on this list. They are the precursor to britpop and influenced it so much. I'm willing to say without them, britpop would have come later or never existed to begin with.
team blur or oasis? don’t disrespect Damon Albarn like that Man was Britpop good, shame it lasted less than 10 years Definitely got 1st and 2nd the wrong way round.
10: TUUUUUNE 9: Good song 8: TUUUUUNE 7: Although a good song, I prefer Australia 6: Again a good song, but Trash is my personal favourite by them 5: All-time favourite Britpop track 4: Second favourite Britpop track 3: TUUUUUNE 2: I personally would've picked Roll With It for Oasis 1: They had soo many good songs, but I cannot fault the logic Brimful of Asha is still one of those songs I cannot stand Girl From Mars = good song Good Enough = TUUUUUNE Slight Return = TUUUUUNE The Day we Caught the Train should've been in the actual list instead of Connection Well, well, well... WatchMojo, for once you have not screwed up a list, and it was nice to see 1 track per band
I was lucky enough to be at uni in the 90s. When I saw Blur at 4, Common People at 3 and Oasis at 2, I thought what the fuck could be number 1? I was already disagreeing with it. Then I saw what it was and thought fair enough.

*10 Britpop classics you missed.* I offer a >110% satisfaction guarantee on *all* of these (90s was my uni decade): There She Goes by The La's Just by Radiohead (seriously, where are they on the list?) Movin' On Up by Primal Scream God's Cop by the Happy Mondays The Only One I Know by the Charlatans Fools Gold by The Stone Roses Disco Down by Shed Seven Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack Glory Box by Portishead Yes, after that wee trip down memory lane, I feel old. But I hope I've introduced someone to something here.
Tom Skelton While Britpop isn't exclusive to the 90's as a movement that's when it hit it's prime and the major Stone Roses impact happened in 1989. Which is why it probably gets forgotten on lists like this
British answer to grunge?? Britpop has nothing to do with grunge. Britpop was born out of the trend that earlier UK band's had started back in the early 80's. Bands like The Smiths, The Jam and The Stone Roses. The grunge sound and bands became popular after those bands rose to fame. Both scenes have nothing to do with each other...
It was also born out of belated recognition for quintessentially English bands from the 60s such as the Kinks and the Small Faces,not to mention the lingering influence of the more recent 'Baggy' scene of 89/90 and the rebirth of optimism in the wake of a resurgent 'New Labour'
Stone Roses - Fools Gold, Adorable - Sunshine Smile, Inspiral Carpets - Dragging me Down, The Charlatans - The Only One I know, Happy Mondays - Step On, Lush - Sweetness and Light, My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow, The Sundays, Here's were the Story Ends, Ride - Vapor Trail, Saint Etienne - Only Love can Break your Heart, The Dylans - Planet Love
My list would be: Ride - Leave Them All Behind, Lush - Superblast, For Love, Scarlet and Desire Lines, Slowdive - When The Sun Hits and Alison, The Verve - Blue, The Charlatans - Tremolo Song, Moose - Boy Honorable mentions would be: Lush- Stray, Nothing Natural, Hypocrite, Leaves Me Cold, Cats Chorus, Undertow, Never Never, Take, Ride - OX4 and Vapor Trail, Adorable - Sunshine Smile, The Charlatans - Sproston Green, Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection, Made of Stone and I Wanna Be Adored, Swervedriver - Duel, Inspiral Carpets - Commercial Rain, My Bloody Valentine - Soon, Chapterhouse - We Are The Beautiful and Mesmerize, Suede - Metal Mickey, The Downers and Film Star, Tiny Monroe - Cream Bun, Pale Saints - Blue Flower and Throwing Back the Apple. I used to really like Britpop but cannot stand most of it anymore. Shoegazing was an amazing genre.

Sounds pretty well researched.
Live Forever is a different level.

Blur wasn't working class. They were very middle class. Oasis were representing the lower class.
Why does it matter? Good music doesn't have a social class.
But the song is representing the middle class, inner city, London grind. Something WatchMojo says is representing the working class. Just saying...
Blur were very sarcastic and self depricating on their own class and the system in general. It's fine that they're a bit more well off than Oasis, they were aware of it.
James oasis is way better fym... blur ain’t even produce GREAT music. Oasis produce memorable and more iconic music.
Really? Here in Argentina Oasis was more a upper middle class thing

Bittersweet symphony is good but live forever all the way
Not even their best hit.
Of course!
True story.
Oasis should be No. 1. But for Britpop "anthem" I think Don't Look Back I Anger is more fit for the list.
I can live that "Bittersweet Harmony" is number one, but I would say that "Live Forever" is the ultimate "Britpop Anthem".

this is not even britpop too lol britpop is an alternative to grunge
+Christopher Hickman No, it wasn't. It was an alternate to manufactured 80s pop. These songs were all Britpop.
They do that on most of their videos
riakami17 every time
Bittersweet symphony
Is way ahead of any britpop song. Great lyrics, music and video. No way you can top that. A song for the ages.
The best thing about the song is the part they didn't write though...
Bohemian rhapsody
that wasn't very plus ultra of you - bohemian rhapsody has got to be the most overrated song ever. not to mention it’s not even britpop lmao
@@michaelpdrock1 the sample which they got permission to use but was sued my another guy claiming that... anyways it's so complicated google it. Turns out the acoustic version of the song is awesome and the melody is the best part after all.
Dont forget Vindiloo😂
We'd like to thank aaaaaaaallllll the people, so many people, and they all walk hand in hand, hand in hand through their, SHITELIFE

Top 10 Bands from UK.
The hardest list of all time
Walmar neto Beatles, Clash, Queen, Zeppelin, Stones, Blur/Gorillaz, Oasis, Coldplay, Suede, Prodigy IMO, after that New Order/Joy Division, Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Primal Scream, ELO, Basement Jaxx, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Smiths, Spiritualized, Verve
no jam in your list.
Leo B t rex, david bowie, the fratellis. The who.
vladimyr morris david bowie is not a band mate.
phi times15 umm yes it is mate
How could parklife not be number 1. It’s the most britpop song of all time.
Common People should no 1
"Popscene": knocks on the door.
We weren't answering to Grunge. We had guitar bands before the Americans.
The guys in Blur. They said so themselves. Same with Oasis through Live Forever.
+Kelly14UK I read something Liam said about Oasis being a response to the anger of grunge; they wanted something more optimistic and wanted to be anti-grunge.
I didn't understand Barney Os's comment.Mari Villalobos
+Kelly14UK They kinda did have something against grunge but it was more so the culture, like the mall culture of America that Damon noticed when touring here, that's why Damon wrote Parklife. As for Oasis it was more so towards the negativity of Grunge.
Damon said he was seeing grunge become more popular in the U.K., so they did what they could to bring the "britishness" back to their music. It's seen in the heavy british accent in his songs and the the british pop culture references.
No Supersonic or Champagne Supernova, ok.....
Pedro Mielmiczuk oasis are so overrated
@@bigboyharryparkinson3203 Are you fucking stupid ? The biggest influence on Britiain and the World since The Beatles
Big boy Harry Parkinson it isn’t
@@TCBCAFC All their songs sound the same, Blur are infinitely better.
@@johannes132 Are you silly 😂 They really dont ive listened to both Oasis And Blur and each of their songs sound different
sometimes I forget the killers aren’t british lmao
Omg I thought they were british but I just looked them up and they are American. My life has been a lie.
Yes even though ever single British person knows the whole song
If Dont Look Back in Anger is not number 1, I quit my subscription.
When England lost against Croatia, people sang DLBIA, that's how much that song means.
I love Bittersweet Symphony! So many good tunes on this list!
Is it weird that I don't recognise much from this list?
UnkeptMoss328 freak. Just kidding.. No not really I didn't know all of the songs but I knew quite a few! :)
***** maybe...
Daenerys Targaryen *Gasp!* Hahaha thanks! Yeah I just didn't know if it was weird or not.
***** possibly
Supergrass are the most underrated band for real
Only few good songs alright diamond ho ha man and pumping on your stereo
Moving is one hell of a song
Supergrass should of been number 1!! Incredible band
@@blueblood110 Road to Rouen album. You're welcome.
DASH Harris sing star on ps3
Fantastic list! There were even a few I didn't know. Not to mention the commentary was more than just a bunch of puns and nice words. I literally learned something from watching this. Well done. Please keep the quality for future videos.
*only watched it because of Suede*
*gets disappointed because it only made number 6*
btw, Animal Nitrate made #13 on NME's top 100 of the 90s list, and their other song Stay Together even got up at #3
Stay Together is a masterpiece as is most of their work in my opinion. Suede are definitely one of the most underrated bands of the 90's or possibly ever.
they're my favourite band ever. Sadly, I'm 16 so it's kinda difficult to find someone who understands my taste in music.
I understand, I'm 14 :P
fuck this world. but not The Asphalt World. one of my favourite songs ever.
Nice profile picture! I agree, I'm also sixteen.
* *Cough* * coffee and tv * *Cough* *
Username Tallman Do you feel like a chain store, practically floored?
Woo hoo song from da funny animated pepels
Disclaimer: it’s supposed
To be a funny Gorillaz reference don’t go off
Frick Silver blur aint gorillaz though
punpun Gorillaz was created by Damon albarn who is blurs singer
Frick Silver i know that? they’re not the same band though?
Although Live Forever is my favorite Oasis song, if you are looking for an anthem, I think their best anthem is Don't Look Back In Anger.
Brad Snyder I agree. But Live Forever and Champagne supernova is an overall, better song.
Anyone else think noel should’ve sang live forever
So many good, iconic songs by Oasis.
Some might say it's noels favourite he told me when I met him in Newcastle before he was famous.
JUST DO A TOP TEN STONE ROSES SONGS ALREADY
The Wrestling Wreviewer i think you'll find he mentioned the STONE ROSES and not the rolling stone
harry beer OMG YASS
Glad Richard Ashcroft will officially be able to profit from Bittersweet Symphony
Where's There She Goes from The La's?
Jess Manuel not really britpop
GJProductions What is it then?
Let's just call it pop
Jess Manuel the song was released in 1988, Britpop didn't really start until 1993-94. It's more part of the madchester era, even though the La's aren't from Manchester.
About 5 years too early to be "Britpop," in addition to being better than 90% of this list
I don't think Americans will ever *fully* understand British 90s and 2000s music, however, I hope they can enjoy it.
That said, Bittersweet Symphony should NOT have been top. Common People or Live Forever are the songs that represent the working class Britain waaaay more.
Martin Hare Disagree with you as an American who was living in England at the time.
And what´s about the smiths ???
Why is representing the working class the be all end all?
@@coffycup75 And I have to disagree as an America who never live anywhere in the United Kingdom.
BTW, I actually like Brit-Pop AND Grunge.
Martin Hare as an American I completely understand. However, I’ll say British people won’t even come close to understanding Kurt Cobain’s impact on music. We had our own movement with politics, society, sports, movies, etc. Even our pop music was ripping the charts in the 90’s. But grunge hit us like a nuclear bomb that took our world as we knew it and flipped it upside down. It wasn’t until Kurt’s death in 94’ and Oasis’ coincidental album drop in 94’ that we payed attention to it. So yes, we don’t understand, but we had our own stuff going on with grunge.
Supergrass was the most criminally underrated band of that decade. Every album was a masterpiece.
I love you
Check out Gaz Coombes solo material, unbelievable!
i agree, i love their first three albums, all amazing
Great band . ...but so we're the Boos.....in their pre britpop shoegaze era
Also...the song here is NOT what I think of as Supergrasses best.
I really don't understand how you can not mention Song 2 by blur. I am English, and I grew up in the 90's. Song 2 is the 90's Britpop ANTHEM...
fr!!
Song 2 isn't even britpop, it's a grunge (parody) song
mrsuns10 nt the only one
Even though it's not Britpop at all
Song 2 was more of a parody of American grunge music than it was britpop
Common People is the best which showed the brief feature of britpop.
And Suede should be ranked higher!!!!!!
They're freaking awesome.
+陳亮圻 You have good taste in music sir!
I really agree with you Suede are fantastic, evento live
they stole the song ruclips.net/video/sRlot9Anzbg/видео.html
Suede was a damn good band. Underrated as hell.
Underrated? Was one of the biggest band in the 90's sold millons of copies
1.Common People
2.A Design For Life
3.The Universal
Oasis could have every single spot on this list
JC_ LloydMO7 and thats just (what’s the story) morning glory
So could Pulp.
But they don't.
So could Queen
Truth
maybe
When will people accept that Disco 2000 is better than common people
If we want an American's opinion on British music we'll ask for it.
yeah! I'm not from UK, but I have to say that the british music always was and always will be better than the american music.
+Remington Nicol same thing.
+Matheus Saretti Well, British music would be shit if it wasn't for blues and rockabilly. I'm not American. Just have a basic knowledge of music history and we need to get into the late 50's and early 60's before anything remotely interesting came out of Britain.
+Putthatinur Pipe rubbish.
Putthatinur Pipe for sure, man. You are right, but let's be honest... from the 80's til nowadays (except for some bands and singers) the american music became so commercial. In my opinion, british music has always valued the innovative.

I’m glad y’all FINALLY gave Suede some Britpop credit since they INVENTED the damn genre. Without them Britpop wouldn’t have been around
👍👍👍
The stone roses? no? I'm the only one?
owain rae pre-britpop. They were 'madchester' - a different era that later went on to inspire Blurs first album ( a complete roses rip-off) so even though the Roses aren't britpop, there wouldn't be such a thing without them
I was expecting also.
No
@@willja4297 gUyS wHaT aBoUt ThE SMiThS
Honorable mentions - "Creep" by Radiohead and "Inbetweener" by Sleeper.
creep came just b4 the britpop era imo
Plus it’s closer to grunge
Radiohead itsn Britpop They Art Rock or Alternative
Are you high or something?Radiohead is alternative.
Excellent selection. Being an American, I was not exposed to a lot of these songs until I got a copy of the Rhino Britpop boxed set and finally got turned onto the whole thing. I still listen and rock to a lot of songs from the 1960s. Love The Kinks, plus Paul Revere and the Raiders, for instance. Glad you ranked "Bittersweet Symphony" as No. 1 --- that was a tune I did hear during its heyday. Thanks for sharing this compilation video.
Suede!!! 💕 we need a top 10 Suede songs!
Trash, beautiful ones, so young and animal nitrate are the only decent tunes they made imp. But as they opinions are like buttholes.
Suede were brilliant I love new generation metal mickey she's in fashion and trash. Seen them twice Birmingham academy
I love Britpop, New romantic, punk rock, goth rock, glam rock, and classic rock. I was born in 2005
"Do you agree with our list?"
"No no no..."
I’m American but was all over Britpop in the 90s and still love it. But we had to work to find it, as Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Supergrass etc got virtually no AirPlay in the US. But this Beatles fan loves the fab influenced Britpop.
Thanks for finally mentioning the Manic Street Preachers! Now please do a top 10 songs for them!
Agreed!
Forever delayed
kevincarter2020 Zing.
Ifwatchmojotoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart
Yes yes yes
just saying, The Stone Roses should have definitely been on this list. They are the precursor to britpop and influenced it so much. I'm willing to say without them, britpop would have come later or never existed to begin with.
Hydr0 Aardvark read "influenced."
but I actually disagree, they were definitely britpop tho.
+Hydr0 Aardvark
Agreed. Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Charlatans, Ride, Inspiral Carpets etc were very much a scene before Britpop.
@@canis77 Love those bands, especially The Charaltans
team blur or oasis? don’t disrespect Damon Albarn like that
Man was Britpop good, shame it lasted less than 10 years
Definitely got 1st and 2nd the wrong way round.
I feel so glad I was a teenager during this era.
The music scene was just INCREDIBLE and so diverse.
10: TUUUUUNE
9: Good song
8: TUUUUUNE
7: Although a good song, I prefer Australia
6: Again a good song, but Trash is my personal favourite by them
5: All-time favourite Britpop track
4: Second favourite Britpop track
3: TUUUUUNE
2: I personally would've picked Roll With It for Oasis
1: They had soo many good songs, but I cannot fault the logic
Brimful of Asha is still one of those songs I cannot stand
Girl From Mars = good song
Good Enough = TUUUUUNE
Slight Return = TUUUUUNE
The Day we Caught the Train should've been in the actual list instead of Connection
Well, well, well... WatchMojo, for once you have not screwed up a list, and it was nice to see 1 track per band
I was lucky enough to be at uni in the 90s. When I saw Blur at 4, Common People at 3 and Oasis at 2, I thought what the fuck could be number 1? I was already disagreeing with it. Then I saw what it was and thought fair enough.
An american narrating the best Britpop bands lol.
A2bPhotography they probs don’t understand most of the songs 😂
Patrick Neill 😂😂😂😂
Perspective is sometimes better, both timewise and culturally.

I'm not native but I always have impression that British music still being the benchmark for quality music.
Dhanar ,I believe you are right.Bit pop always shines
*10 Britpop classics you missed.* I offer a >110% satisfaction guarantee on *all* of these (90s was my uni decade):
There She Goes by The La's
Just by Radiohead (seriously, where are they on the list?)
Movin' On Up by Primal Scream
God's Cop by the Happy Mondays
The Only One I Know by the Charlatans
Fools Gold by The Stone Roses
Disco Down by Shed Seven
Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri
Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack
Glory Box by Portishead
Yes, after that wee trip down memory lane, I feel old. But I hope I've introduced someone to something here.
YESSSS THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE CHARALTANS I LOVE THAT BAND SOOO MUCH. SAME WITH THE STONE ROSES
Common people and DISCO 2000 and amazing. Pulp is bloody awesome
Do you remember the first time is their best song
The Charlatans are missing here, should easily be top 5.
YESSSS
CHARALTANS>LIFE
I would class them more with madchester/baggy scene. Bands like stone roses, Paris angels, inspiral carpets, northside and Happy Mondays.
Not Britpop.
Animal Nitrate and not Beautiful Ones? At least Suede made the list...
They still make awesome music!
Probably cause nitrate had Bernard, Richard is brilliant but come on mate. Bernard Fucking Butler!!! I agree the music they make is still awesome
Do the stone roses count as Brit pop?
Kinda, they were a little too early for Britpop :3
Kind of. 'Second Coming' counts as Britpop I guess.
***** Thanks
Tom Skelton While Britpop isn't exclusive to the 90's as a movement that's when it hit it's prime and the major Stone Roses impact happened in 1989. Which is why it probably gets forgotten on lists like this
Blaize Well, to an extent that's true, but Stone Roses are classed more as a Madchester act (like the Happy Mondays or Inspiral Carpets).
British answer to grunge?? Britpop has nothing to do with grunge. Britpop was born out of the trend that earlier UK band's had started back in the early 80's. Bands like The Smiths, The Jam and The Stone Roses. The grunge sound and bands became popular after those bands rose to fame. Both scenes have nothing to do with each other...
It was also born out of belated recognition for quintessentially English bands from the 60s such as the Kinks and the Small Faces,not to mention the lingering influence of the more recent 'Baggy' scene of 89/90 and the rebirth of optimism in the wake of a resurgent 'New Labour'
I lived in the UK during this time and it was awesome! So many good bands!
Stone Roses - Fools Gold, Adorable - Sunshine Smile, Inspiral Carpets - Dragging me Down, The Charlatans - The Only One I know, Happy Mondays - Step On, Lush - Sweetness and Light, My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow, The Sundays, Here's were the Story Ends, Ride - Vapor Trail, Saint Etienne - Only Love can Break your Heart, The Dylans - Planet Love
My list would be: Ride - Leave Them All Behind, Lush - Superblast, For Love, Scarlet and Desire Lines, Slowdive - When The Sun Hits and Alison, The Verve - Blue, The Charlatans - Tremolo Song, Moose - Boy
Honorable mentions would be: Lush- Stray, Nothing Natural, Hypocrite, Leaves Me Cold, Cats Chorus, Undertow, Never Never, Take, Ride - OX4 and Vapor Trail, Adorable - Sunshine Smile, The Charlatans - Sproston Green, Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection, Made of Stone and I Wanna Be Adored, Swervedriver - Duel, Inspiral Carpets - Commercial Rain, My Bloody Valentine - Soon, Chapterhouse - We Are The Beautiful and Mesmerize, Suede - Metal Mickey, The Downers and Film Star, Tiny Monroe - Cream Bun, Pale Saints - Blue Flower and Throwing Back the Apple.
I used to really like Britpop but cannot stand most of it anymore. Shoegazing was an amazing genre.
