So how come you've nominated two?

Album - Performance & Cocktails Artist - The Stereophonics Live Forever/Definetly Maybe & Lucky Man/Urban Hymns by Oasis & The Verve respectively were a close second. |

Different Class by Pulp is the correct answer. Well done to all those who got that at home.
You can pick any song from it. |

I'm really struggling with this because I think the best British album of the the 90s was probably OK Computer but I'm not sure if it qualifies really. Radiohead's first album was '93 so they were right in there at the time but it's still hard to put them as Britpop.
My original thought was Suede's first album, then Mansun, then Vision Incision by Lo Fidelity Allstars as a single but that was '98 and post all that, I suppose. Then I started questioning what Britpop was and who it included and suddenly Radiohead popped in my head. Bowie's albums around then were really good as well - Black Tie White Noise for one. Better now than I realised at the time, I think. Sorry for the long rambling answer when you wanted a name but I'm struggling. If it's allowable then my answer is OK Computer and Vision Incision but those were really on the back of Britpop rather than bang in the middle. (I always think of the height of Britpop as being when Oasis and Blur were battling for number 1 in '95, the start being Suede's first breakthrough album and the media coining the term, and the end being....not sure). |

Song : I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses.
Album : The Holy Bible by The Manic Street Preachers* * I don't really care for Britpop - I found the Seattle sound of the early 90's far more interesting, so I'm not really sure if the Manics class as Britpop or not - but they seemed to get (unfairly) lumped into the genre. Can I also cast a vote for The Verve being the most overrated band in the history of music? Well I'm going too anyway. |

Song Oasis Cigarettes and Alcohol. Still remember hearing this on the radio for the first time and howling with laughter at the blatant T-Rex rip off. Then Liam started singing and I stopped laughing, Sat down very hard and phoned everyone I knew to say 'Have you heard THIS???'
Album Supergrass In it For The Money. Every song - every single one - is a stone cold classic. Why weren't that band huge?? |

With Everything Must Go, The Manics definitely made a play for being part of the Britpop bandwagon, so you can quite easily plump for them.

Nope, it wasn't Britpop at all.
Besides, Britpop wasn't one particular sound, as evidenced by the contrast between, say, Elastica and Cast. Damon Albarn, a prime instigator of whatever Britpop really was, always felt acts like Massive Attack and The Prodigy were a part of his version of Britpop, but many music journalists of the time decreed to be a guitars-only scene. |

Song: Common People - Pulp
Album: (What's The Story) Morning Glory? Personality: Damon Albarn Gig: Ocean Colour Scene - Stirling Castle '98 I'd say The end of Britpop was towards the end of '97. Oasis stalled with the over ambitious coke fuelled "Be Here Now" and Blur moved into a more Lo-Fi American sound with "Blur". A lot of the 2nd tier Britpop bands started to get dropped as they released albums that weren't as big as ones released at the height of the scene. There's been a lot of good stuff mentioned so far in the thread though. I had a lot of these albums on tape cassette like Parklife, The Great Escape, Morning Glory and Different Class. It was around the time I changed over to CD so I also had Everything Must Go, Tellin' Stories and Blur on CD. |
