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.

This is like one of those Reader's Digest Best Of The Sixties compilations where they couldn't get the Beatles or the Stones so have to make do with six apiece from Billy J Kramer and the Tremeloes ("Some tracks RE-RECORDED by at least one of the ORIGINAL ARTISTS for STEREO ENHANCEMENT").
― Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 8 June 2009 15:37 (fourteen years ago) link
Many of the bands in the above compilation would be in mine also. But the songs would be different.

Trip hop was never Britpop.

And... I mean.... I like Massive Attack and all. But Britpop was so fantastic in its own right it doesn't need to be mixed up with other (and lesser) genres.

Britpop must be heavily Beatles/Kinks influenced to be Britpop and must also be very English. Massive Attack had lots of American influences after all. Trip Hop was never Britpop - the only black Britpop musician was the drummer in Ocean Colour Scene, because they weren't an R&B band. R&B is 100 per cent American and cannot possibly be Britpop.
― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 09:30 (fourteen years ago) link
the kinks were JUST A BIT influenced by r&b, idiot.

Blimey, Jethro Tull. Are they britpop?
― Mark G, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:07 (fourteen years ago) link
No Jethro Tull were English folk, which is also typically English, but in another, more ethnomusical, way. Britpop is based upon typically english music as in Beatles/Kinks/music hall/vaudeville, not as in old jigs and fiddles.
― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:09 (fourteen years ago) link
And as for Nationalist. Yes, Britpop was nationalist. But not in a typical skin colour oriented racist way, rather in a way of stressing how English music is superior to American music so why does the world need American music?
― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:11 (fourteen years ago) link
And, you know, the majority of Americans are white too...

― Mark G, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:17 (fourteen years ago) link
rather in a way of stressing how English music is superior to American music so why does the world need American music?
yeah because the Beatles and Kinks weren't at all heavily American-influenced. and VAUDEVILLE had nothing to do with the US of course...
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:19 (fourteen years ago) link
The Beatles and Kinks started out as AMerican influenced and then got gradually better and better the more typically English and less American they got. (Until Kinks turned shit in the 70s because they suddenly started to sound American again)

― Dingbod Kesterson, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 12:21 (fourteen years ago) link
And... Well. At least the Beatles did add an immigrant element to their music, but instead of adding an African element brought through corporate America, they added an Indian/Pakistani element, which was much more interesting and also fit much better into the European musical tradition they came out of.
