44. The Divine Comedy - "I'm All You Need"

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:03 (twenty years ago) link

55. suede - stay together
especially the long version with the funny whale noises on the end.

no, really.

did they include this on the singles comp? i had the 12"

44) Northern Uproar 'Rollercoaster' (I'm sorry, you can disregard all mychoices, I hate them too, I'm just trying to keep it representative of the truth)

No Ailsa, it is just you, JS are the WORST BAND IN HISTORY

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:04 (twenty years ago) link

eek...this'll be unpopular

44. vanessa paradis - be my baby
43. catatonia - mulder and scully (the first time i heard that voice - affected, of course, but somehow still kind of cool. i still like her.)

and aisla....? i have to admit i liked tattva too.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:04 (twenty years ago) link

I'd say so... c.f. Wannadies. I sort of bracket that in my memories with britpop. Good single, in memory at least.
Though it seems quite close to things like those early Cardigans singles.

― Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:04 (twenty years ago) link

surely Paradis is not allowed, as great as it is - it's more Francopop than Britpop non?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:05 (twenty years ago) link

41) Babybird 'The F Word'

but if anyone mentions 'You're Gorgeous' i will kill them

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:06 (twenty years ago) link

No Black Grape yet, which feels a massive oversight. So:

42. Reverend Black Grape.

Will anyone be brave enough to add Ocean Colour Scene? I feel like 'The Riverboat Song' deserves to be here through its sheer omnipresence at the time, but frankly I just can't quite bring myself to do it.

― Jason J, Monday, 12 January 2004 13:06 (twenty years ago) link

44. vanessa paradis - be my baby

hmmm... vanessa paradis = not very british, innit.

ignore that one, then..

although it SOUNDS like britpop.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:06 (twenty years ago) link

Wannadies = not very British either

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago) link

No Dodgy yet, eh... anyone? ;-)

― Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago) link

surely Paradis is not allowed, as great as it is - it's more Francopop than Britpop non?

point taken...

what the hell, then, let's shove some saint etienne in there...

44. saint etienne - hobart paving... just because..

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:08 (twenty years ago) link

40) Ocean Colour Scene 'The Day We Caught the Train'

I read your mind Jae

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:08 (twenty years ago) link

I thought the idea was good tracks not 'representative' ones!

42. Bubonique - "Oi Copper"

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:08 (twenty years ago) link

39. Powder - 20th Century Gods

― (jg) ((jg)), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:09 (twenty years ago) link

38] Black Grape: Kelly's Heroes (the first one I really heard at the time; loved it)

― Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:09 (twenty years ago) link

55. suede - stay together
especially the long version with the funny whale noises on the end.
no, really.

it was the last track on the cd single. i haven't seen the singles comp. - wasn't keen on a lot of their recent output.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:10 (twenty years ago) link

Wannadies were NME favourites, and it has a britpop 'feel' about it; they are Swedish though... it is honorary britpop at least.

― Tom May (Tom May), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago) link

Haha Bubonique were great!

The Wannadies moved to London didn't they? So I think they're allowed.

37. Shampoo - Trouble

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:12 (twenty years ago) link

35] Sleeper: Lie Detector (one of their best; really breathless and giddy quick pop)

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

36) Julianne Regan's Mice - "Matt's Prozac" (haha beat that)

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

20th century gods
you're so irrelevant
20th century gods
you'll follow anyone

indeed

black grape fucking ruled, but britpop??

36) Underworld 'Born Slippy' = dance music it's okay to shout along to. Tico, this is serious sociological work: don't let you subjective sense-impressions fool you!

Mencap: WORD!

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:14 (twenty years ago) link

34] The Wannadies: You and Me Song, allowed then? :)
