Correct answer should of course be Britpop 93 - Suede, St Et, Denim, Pulp etc

no doubt 95...but pls don't say menswear and powder...
because there were the charlatans, sleeper, elastica,
BETTER QUALITY AND THERE WAS A SENSE OF URGE IN IT.
is there any need for kaiser chiefs now???

'do you want to' is better than any '95 britpop, i think (i was never a pulp fan).

britpop 05 == mcfly shurely?

― spontine (cis), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

mcfly = let loose '05

britpop '93 - saint etienne, suede, pulp, denim
britpop '05 - saint etienne, the tears, richard hawley, go-kart mozart

yeah...grime is obviously where it's at in the british scene...the current crop of britpoppers can't even come up with a decent name, much less record anything worth listening to for more than a week. the mercury prize even went to an nyc-based band, sort of a slap in the face to the rest of em.

grime is 'where it's at' for about 2000 kids in east london and about 30 middle-aged bloggers.

When I read the first list, I cycle through feelings of joy and anger (why does seeing Echobelly's name in print still make me cringe ten years later?).

When I read the second list, all I can think about is "meh".

haha.

A curse on both of them, '95 &/or '05.

it can't be 2000, NRQ. if it were that many the grime tracks would be getting in the top 10.

haha. maybe 2000 bloggers and 30 kids then.

They're bringing This Life back at Christmas.

Please don't even mention grime at least in this thread.
I think this bunch of new british band can't be judged properly right now, because almost all of them made one album so far. Some of them will disappear, some of them could be a truly great band in a few years. My tips for the latter: Franz Ferdinand, Maximo Park, Futureheads, Rakes, Art Brut.
Bloc Party will be this decade's Radiohead (this might be not an applause), and I don't know where to put Kaiser Chiefs, because I liked their record at first, but now I'm getting full with them.
Losers: Razorlight, Kasabian, Ordinary Boys, Others, Departure, Dogs, etc.

eight years pass...

britpop 2.0 as a term never took off, did it? It will always be known as Landfill.

those middle aged grime bloggers dom mentioned will be about 50 now
