― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago) link

Were The Bluetones Britpop? I always thought they were the band that killed Bripop.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago) link

Hmm, there's no Ash in the list, which seems like an oversight. And I think Calum was right to tip Oasis' 'Whatever', too. Any space for that?

― Jason J, Monday, 12 January 2004 13:27 (twenty years ago) link

No we didnt have any of them - thats the only good Sleeper track too, shame.

I am pleased and proud for ILM that there is no Ash.

NO JAMES

YAY

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:29 (twenty years ago) link

the top 10 went a bit awry, didn't it?

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')

so much for 'classics only' eh?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:32 (twenty years ago) link

No Dodgy...? Even no Shed 7...?!

― Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:32 (twenty years ago) link

i was tempted to put 'In A Room' and 'Dolphin' in, LUCKY YOU

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago) link

No Oasis 'Supersonic'. Father Ted at 11. Demand a recount.

― pete s, Monday, 12 January 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago) link

so much for 'classics only' eh? OTM, rialto, gene, feh.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:34 (twenty years ago) link

"In a room, there's no other species".

Wise words.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:34 (twenty years ago) link

no 'Tubthumping' is the big shock isn't it? i don't mind it really

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:34 (twenty years ago) link

I would have put it Stevem but I thought it was a bit late.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:35 (twenty years ago) link

i'm pleased i got 'Summertime' and 'Sonnet' in there though, tho i know there are better songs by both bands in question

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:36 (twenty years ago) link

I would have put it Stevem but I thought it was a bit late.

as in 1996 or as in 'shit we're into the 20s already'?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:36 (twenty years ago) link

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. Oh yeah, and Insomniac and Yes.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:36 (twenty years ago) link

so World of Twist didn't make it in then. would have expected them to. oh well.

― mark e (mark e), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:38 (twenty years ago) link

2] Geneva: Tranquilizer

like WHAT-EVA d00d!

c-man was right re: mcalmont & butler, 'yes' wd be my no. 1.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

yeh but their '1990-1992' era was overlooked generally as that's not considered part of the Britpop phase (not that '99 is either really, oh well) - hence no 'There She Goes'

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

Wow!

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

It was 98 wasn't it. (Tubthumping)

I think this is a surprisingly good list in places!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:08 (twenty years ago) link

I am miffed that McAlmont & Butler never made the final list.

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

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago) link

'Millionaire Sweeper' should probably have been in, but 'genius'? steady on!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

You are absolutely right Alisa, silly us :(

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.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

It was 98 wasn't it. (Tubthumping)

97.

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

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

there are 29 songs in the top 100 i have not heard (and have no real urge to except maybe the Auteurs stuff)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

Tell you what, lets start a 'replacer' list.

The Britpop 'Replacer' 100 list

What about Sleeper - Sale of the Century?

― B61 (calstars), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 02:03 (twenty years ago) link

Precisely.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 02:08 (twenty years ago) link

fucken Dubstar! Are they not Britpop or something?

I also like 'Sparkle' by My Life Story and 'Chasing Rainbows' by Shed Seven.

Christ.
