The Britpop one hundred hall of joy! - Classics only.

(Plus it was taken directly from the source without being filtered through capitalist corporate American mass production at first)

is he anywhere near 51 yet?

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.

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?

presumably he means they stayed longer in the empire

Feel like posting that exchange between Basil Fawlty and the Major about Indians, but probably best not to

Because the classical Indian musical tradition is head music, not body music.

Spotified this:

The Britpop one hundred hall of joy! - Classics only

21 tracks aren't on it, but hey.

No Speedy?? :(

The NME have done exactly this, this week..

The NME have done exactly this, every week for the last 20 fucking years

fixed

yeah.. but this week they have done a list. 100 britpop classics.

tbh, I saw a 'catatonia' entry, and I did sigh, etc.

Seriously you think they'd be embarassed about it by now.

THey also did a top 20 by sales:

summary: Oasis oasis oasis oasis oasis oasis oasis blur oasis oasis pulp oasis oasis supergrass oasis catatonia

Srsly if you'd told anyone in 1996 that the name 'Gene' would be on the front of the NME 17 years later they'd have pissed themselves laughing.

you mean there are people who didn't in 1996 ?

Very embarrassing to be on the front cover of the @NME this week. Might have to sue.

Also, Bis.

I went looking for a postable list, didn't find one yet, but they are doing a 'vote yr favourite'

"Caught by the fuzz" is winning, which.. mm, I'm OK with actually...

Plenty of comments of the 'bbbbut what about Ocean Colour Scene/ dodgy' but this article seems to have used *that* "Select" front page as the initial template..

They should know better than to inflate Haines ego like that.

Sleeper is reuniting.

Ash's Girl from Mars suggested twice, but no rep for the brilliant Goldfinger, till now

Classics only.

My list would be only Supergrass, Blue and Pulp songs and probably wouldn't get to a hundred.

Blue?

Technically they're pop from Britain.

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?
