God this takes me back
Got most of those above still kicking around.
Got this in my CD player at the mo, not sure if they were really britpop though. A good Somerset yokel band IMO.

Super Furries were the only decent band britpop produced
I could stand Suede, his voice was awful, although Bernard Butler was a great guitarist.
Anyone remember Joyrider, they were a great live band. All Gone Away was their best song (almost appropriately).
Oh what about Space - Neighbourhood was quite good.
Yes, I am browsing my singles collection 🙂
Id suggest that some of the bands mentioned were "Indie" first, then became britpop. Certainly Blur were when they put out Leisure, prior to Parklife. And Modern Life is Rubbish, was, er, rubbish.
Suede pre-dated britpop by a good few years.
A nostalgia thread about nostalgia music. PWEI weren't called that for nowt!
Is the lead singer from Jesus Jones still editor of What Mountain Bike?
I can't believe I bought an Oasis album; I guess it was in the brief period of time that I thought Wonderwall was good.... I still think the McAlmont and Butler album is good though not really Brit Pop I suppose. Other than that I think that Supergrass had a lot more going for them than most bands of that time.
Bluetones - Expecting to Fly - one of my favourite albums. OCS - Moseley Shoals another.
really liked sleeper,
listening to it now and to be honest its a bit pap
they released a greatest hits album apparently in 2007 😀
i USED to fancy her loads as well,
louise wener that is 😀

Last time I'll get away with typing that!
Elastica
Pulp
Kula Shaker (?)
no Oasis. no Blur.
Lots of New Model Army though 😉
(yeah, I know they're not, never were and never will be "Britpop")
Shed Seven, what about shed seven.
Oh and corduroy
(I think I have every album mentioned so far!)

I agree that the shooting fish soundtrack is a classic britpop anthology - lovely stuff 😀

Suede pre-dated britpop by a good few years.
Suede's eponymous (sp?) début released in 1993, blur's 'Modern Life is rubbish' released 1993, Elastica's Stutter single 1993. Hardly a good few years. By 1995 Britpop had run it's course, to be replaced by the dadrock from the likes of kula-shaker & oasis
i don't know, attention to detail these days
sock puppet - a good point well made.
Hmmm, some of the britpop stuff didn't really grab me but by heck, this did (and still does sometimes). I think you'd call it "Prog Britpop". Genius album and they never really did anything else of note.

Jesus, how up my own arse was I??!!
Mansun...still listen to both albums. I obviously have no taste!
Currently listening to the Sneaker Pimps

Purely by accident I spent a very drunken evening with the members of Ash at the funfair at the Le Mans 24 hr race. Nice folk, but they became more in comprehensible the more the evening wore on.
Their music was a bit gash though.
Mansun never did anything of note after OneEP and TwoEP !
My fondest memory of the Britpop era was shaking the hand of Joe Strummer at a Pulp/Elastica gig. A great moment for me 😀
Bexoming X. WHat a great Album.
Must fire up the music server 🙂

On the contrary old chap. Taste abounds for you...still love AOTGL, but never really thought Six cut it.

absolutely.
And as for Dodgy, no way were they part of the britpop thing.

bloody amazing album!
sorry Colande still love Gene, was at the last gig
I give you The Seahorses!
Saw Gene once, Im sure one of them spent the entire gig facing away from the (very small) audience (as in not many, not short arses, tho I am one meslf)
Kenickie/Seahorses I think we may be gettting beyond the classic Britpop era- both great bands mind.
I might have a Kenickie story-but thats another post 😉
Oooh, thank you for putting up the pic of Saffron from Republica. Saw them at the Fleece in Bristol, where a combination of a very enthusiastic crowd and Saffron standing between the monitors at the front meant I spent an entertaining couple of minutes with my face pressed against the crotch of her leather jeans...
I've still got the tissue she borrowed to wipe her face with the pink stains of her hair-dye on it along with the setlist.
Saw Elastica there on their first tour, Kenickie, Lush, Echobelly, Sleeper, Dubstar, Hillman Minx (really), and Gay Dad and Mansun as supports. Lush, Sleeper, Kenickie and Dubstar I saw a number of times, Kenickie were one of the funniest and most entertaining live bands I've seen in thirty-odd years of gig-going, Lauren Laverne is just lovely, and a natural comic, bearing in mind she was still at school the first time I saw them! Got a t-shirt somewher with Sleeperbloke on it, that being the media term for the anonymous blokes in any band fronted by a pretty girl singer. Wow, this thread has taken me back a bit.

fair point on the detail seamus, but is style neccessarily the same thing as era?
