how would a top 100 'tunes that some people say are twee, and some don't but are nice anyway' list go down, do you think? (i think the genre i'm groping for is 'indiepop')

I started this thread before lunch, came back and it's up, full and completed.
Well impressed by the adherance to the "No Slagging" rule.
I started this to have a good list of britpop, to make up for the lousy retrospectives that would appear right about now, and soon come in "School Disco" type club nights (Just an aside, did you ever go to your actual school disco in your uniform? Hmm?)
― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:48 (twenty years ago) link
I think this is a surprisingly good list in places!

Also, whither the goddess-like geniuses that were Kenickie? (OK, would have helped if I'd thought about them before now)

If you're doing only classics then the top 100 is going to be predominantly Suede and Pulp, with some Blur and Oasis thrown in and a couple of Sleeper tracks.
This is sort of true (apart from the Sleeper bit) but it's more, like, classics of the time isn't it? If that's not a contradiction.

97.
I love Kenickie, but I kind of can't see em as Britpop, ridiculously.
