We haven't had a music genre thread for a while, so let's hear it for the UK 1993-2000 which was IMO the most musically inventive periods since the late 70s/early 80s when punk morphed into new wave and new romantic... we got guitar-driven melodic stuff playing alongside pounding industrial dance music and no-one thought it was weird biggrin

Nice one Clydewinder, I haven't listened to any of his stuff before (since "World Shut Your Mouth" in '84) but I quite like that smile

I reckon Ocean Colour Scene were very good...under rated in my opinion. Tidy retro vibe.



This is great. smile

Good grief, what's going on here? It's a bit contentious whether Prodigy or Underworld are Britpop (they're really not), but Hot Chip? Sorry, they're about fifteen years too late, simply being British and pop doesn't merit qualification. Julian Cope on the other hand, ten years too early.


Some definitive Britpop:

Elastica were great. I'm more britrock than britpop though. The Wildhearts, 3 Colours Red, Terrorvision, Therapy?, The Almighty smile

I guess this would qualify; it is too obscure for a youtube video,
but rates very high on my personal chart. I can't understand why
it wasn't a huge hit. Anyway, you have to visit this page and hit the
play button:

Mmmmm. Haven't heard it in a few years, and I'm just loving it all over again...
