Well many people would be wrong then.

Damon Albarn is a prize tool and I would love to see him tell Liam Howlett to his face that his band are Britpop!

Track: Live Forever, Oasis
Album: Word Gets Around, Stereophonics (if that counts? if not I'll go for Pulp - Different Class)

Can't you accept you may be wrong? No? Oh, well...
Damon Albarn may not be your cup of tea, but he has made music that's influenced others and lasted 20+ years later, unlike many of his contemporaries. Also, Britpop as we think of it now is different to what people were trying to make of it back then. Besides, Liam Howlett wouldn't really have minded much back then, as he was mates with various groups of the time and was eager to support Oasis at their gigs to crossover to more people.

Of course I can, but in this case I'm absolutely not. How about you, can you accept that you may be wrong?!

I'm not entirely sure when Damon Albarn was given the role of naming who is and who isn't Britpop. If in fact he ever said that the Prodigy were Britpop. Do you have a link to this?

You do realise that support bands don't have to be in the same genre as the headliner don't you?!

What a ludicrous argument you're putting across!

Anything by Pulp would be the correct answer! Whilst I love a lot of Britpop bands Pulp were head and shoulders above anyone else although they only really got put into the Britpop category because of the timing of Different Class. It tends to change a bit but at the moment This Is Hardcore is actually my favourite Pulp album, with the title track being my favourite track.

I cant pick one. Too many of them are important to me. It would be like choosing your favourite child.

I can't be bothered to argue the point with someone who is misreading what I type. I'm not willing to bang my head against a brick wall. Catch you in another thread!

Elastica: Stutter
Pulp: His 'n' Hers

Track: The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo! - because it epitomises what Britpop was all about. Bands selling out to crap commercialism when they could do so much better appealing to their core audience rather than to dimwits on football terraces.

Album: Elastica - Elastica - still sounds great today, a complete and utter plagiarism of the previous 20 years of pop music but done with such a cocksure swagger that they (almost) get away with it.

Personailty - couldn't really care less about personalities. I have a lot of respect for Jarvis, though.

Gig: Pulp at Glasto 95. Late replacement for the absent Stone Roses and a kind of handing-of-the-baton from one great band of the moment to the next. You can forget the silly tabloid nonsense between Blur and Oasis. Pulp owned the moment and their time came at Glastonbury after more than a decade of hard graft and getting nowhere.

Track: Common people

Album: Definitely Maybe

Just out of interest, am I really the only person who simply can't abide Pulp? It just sounds like a load of lightweight, middle class synth-pop to me, sung by an unbearably smug, pretentious arse. I really don't get where the appeal comes from.
