Inspired by the 'Status Quo' thread funnily enough I thought I'd make a Britpop one. I just wanted to pay tribute to one of the greatest periods in British Music, certainly the greatest period I have ever lived through. It was a cool time to be in Oasis vs Blur etc - coupled with Euro 96 - it couldnt have got any better imo:cool:

Look at the list below - ******* brilliant:)

Britpop, refers to the plethora of '90s bands who drew more consciously from the tradition of the Beetles than any single movement. Though the movement originated in the U.K. indie scene, Britpop was extrememly commercial with bands who were creating the soundtrack to the lives of British youth. Although the music has faded commercially, certain bands have attempted to keep the genre alive.

Supergrass
Pulp
Suede
Blur
Oasis
Radiohead
The Verve
Menswear
Cast
Sterephonics
Primal Scream
Ocean Colour Scene
The Bluetones
Ash
Elastica
Garbage
Mansun
Embrace
Space!
The Prodigy
Dubstar
Sleeper
Shed 7
Underworld
Charltons
Kula Shaker
Black Grape
Sneaker pimps
Placebo
Manics

One thing thats scary is that they'll be having 90's nights in nightclubs soon - kind of retro. Still it would be fantasic.

Of course what preceded this - the Manchester scene was imense too. Stone Roses, Ride etc etc - thats another thread.

DHR - about 20 or more are still going - thats pretty good going imo:)

good point except i bet each one of them individually sold more records than the entire britpop generation :rolleyes: so of course they must be rubbish.

The only reason for that would be the fact that they are mainly american based bands - hence higher sales.

Um So Radiohead, Blur and Radiohead dont seem to shift many units!
