Goldfinger by Ash is always the song that pops into my head when I think about brit-pop. Don't Look Back in Anger is another one.

smiths - bigmouth strikes again
blur - boys&girls
oasis - live forever
pulp - common people

Catherine Wheel - are they Britpop?

i was wondering that too. . .otherwise i would probably have chosen "black metallic." thought they were a bit too heavy for britpop.

I always thought Blur was sort of the quintessential Britpop band. They were certainly the biggest ones, on both sides of the Atlantic. "Popscene" is their defining moment, before they went indie low-fi. How do you like that lingo? ;) Catherine Wheel really weren't Britpop. I would, however, consider stuff like Pulp, Menswe@r, Blur, etc. to be Britpop. Not that classifying matters. I would lump Lush, Ride, Catherine Wheel, etc. as more shoe-gazing type bands, before they rebelled and tried to go off in other directions as a result of grunge. I feel sorry for a lot of those bands back then. Grunge probably made a lot of them re-think their directions as they tried to break through in the U.S. Catherine Wheel wanted it SO bad in 1995 when they released "Happy Days". Instead they got beat out by Bush. Really sad, CW was such a great band. I still love them.

Even Mankie has a CW album….supwidat???

Beautiful South I would say are classic Britpop, along with The Smiths, with Oasis later on. Pulp I don't know too much about because I was over here and they didn't get much airplay stateside. I saw them on telly one time when I was over home, and my overwhelming reaction was, "fuckin hell, that's one ugly bastard"

"Don't Look Back In Anger" - Oasis
"Have A Nice Day" - Stereophonics
"Poor Misguided Fool" - Starsailor

Do The Jesus and Mary Chain count as Brit-Pop? If so then I have to include "Head On".
