The Britpop 100 Hall of Joy - and now it's a Poll / Debate chamber

Now, as predicted, the box sets are emerging, how would this ship as a collection? The highs, lows and breadth of the time reflected in an eclectic selection right here. Of course, any actual boxset would probably start w/ Blur, Pulp, Oasis and end up going even more trad.

I vote for Captain and Tennille.

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 31 January 2008 10:32 (eighteen years ago)

Although missing some of the best moments, this is still a list containing a lot of great songs. Dunno what will be my pick yet. Maybe "This Is a Low".

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 31 January 2008 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Went for "I Spy". Because whatever anything else has, that has something beyond ... almost beyond music, even.

Right well in the absence of Ocean Colour Scene 'Sway' and Northside 'Shall We Take a Trip'

Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says 'let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there and the view's so nice'
London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone, I suppose you're
