Your top 3 90s Britpop songs

Listening to the below compilation. It's a great overview of Britpop. For those who want to delve further I suggest all the volumes in "The Best Album In the World " and "Shine" series but this one has all the highlights once you get past the boring Wonderwall (the worst Britpop song in my view).

Friday I'm In Love - The Cure

 

Pulp - Common People
Manic Street Preachers - A Design For Life
Blur - Popscene

 

1. Oasis - Supersonic
2. Suede - Animal Nitrate
3. Pulp - Disco 2000

 

Blur - Song 2
Oasis - Up in the Sky
Elastica - Indian Song

 

Blur - This Is A Low
Suede - So Young
Pulp - This Is Hardcore

D.D.

 

Blur : Blue Jeans
Suede : Metal Mickey
Pulp : Joyriders

 

Definitely Lovefool.
Does Trouble by Shampoo count?
Spiders by Space was better than Female of the Species in my opinion.
Not sure if those are my solid top three but they're up there.

 

Oasis - Some Might Say
The Charlatans - Crashin' In
Blur - Stereotypes

 

On first thought, my obvious standouts would be:

• Pulp - Common People
• Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous
• Mansun - Wide Open Space

How did The Cardigans make that list? Entire band is Swedish!

 

just noticed we have same three bands, same order, just different songs. alright

 

Great thread. Reading John Harris' book, "The Last Party," now so I've been in a huge Britpop kick for the last week or so...

 

Are House of Love "Britpop"? If so, Shake and Crawl.

Are the Trash Can Sinatras "Britpop"? If so, Obscurity Knocks.

Otherwise:

Manic Street Preachers, Little Baby Nothing (with Motorcycle Emptiness right behind)
Pulp, Disco 2000
...

I know a few of the songs listed, I have material by quite a few of the acts but can't place their songs at the moment.

 

Probably no relation to this -



Last Party, Mr. Hurst (1987)

 

Clearly you are a discerning gentleman of exquisite taste.

D.D.

 

Belle And Sebastian -- The Boy With The Arab Strap:



The Sundays -- Summertime:

The Sundays - Summertime

Radiohead -- Karma Police

Radiohead - Karma Police

 

Seeing songs from '96 and '97 already. Can the first Beatles reference be far off ?

D.D.

 

I'd say:
Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis
Common People - Pulp
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

 

Today, I will say:

Pulp Common People and Disco 2000
Oasis Champagne Supernova

 

This is one of my favorite genres in music. It’s very hard to pick a top 3 all time list. For today I would say:

Blur - To The End (specially the duet version with Francois Hardy)
Pulp - Something Changed
Oasis - Live Forever

 

Pulp "Common People"
Bluetones "Slight Return"
Blur "This Is A Low" (or "End Of A Century", or "Badhead"...help!)

 

Oasis - 'Whatever'
Paul Weller - 'Out of the Sinking'
Baddiel & Skinner & Lightning Seeds - 'Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)'

 

How are the Cardigans Brit-pop?

 

My list:

“Don’t Look Back in Anger”

... and I’m guessing there must be more. I don’t know, wasn’t really my thing. If the Cardigans are somehow Brit-pop, add “Lovefool” to my list. I’m not sure how a Swedish band can be Brit-pop, though.
