If Britpop didn't exist, would anyone have missed it? Really?

For me, Britpop = Meh.

Of course everyone was arguing over who was better, Oasis or Blur. The right answer was of course Pulp.

I love Pulp, they were the only shining light in a sea of anti-intelectual darkness. The Problem is you can do the 'oh-so-british' shit as much as you like but you will never do it as well as The Smiths or The Kinks.

We know you like to drink tea, like your beans on toast, like your football on a saturday..we all do, but please don't make a song about it.

Never been all that attracted to Brit-pop. Guess there's some sort of hardcore yank going on somewhere in me? Loved Blur but that was with their self-titled so that doesn't count all that much.

This album was the soundtrack to my childhood because my dad and uncle worshipped the band. My uncle was also friends with them (??) or something, which resulted in their fat drummer borrowing the stool from my trap kit and then breaking it because he was so fat. Now they're a bunch of coked-up cocks.

if shoegaze got ruined by britpop then shoegaze can't have been that good in the first place.

salad weren't really a britpop band and they had a few good songs.

i started a thread about this. Went kinda wierd with people argueing about whats English and whats British and stuff
http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=24422

regarding Britpop bands i liked The Charlatans and The Bluetones. Supergrass were good too.

it was wierd. I went from having everyone hate the music i liked, to suddenly everyone loveing the music i liked. It felt strange. On the one hand it was great being able to talk to friends about music, on the other hand there was a hell of a lot of shite. And when you that pissed on Hooch and your 17(ish) you dont really care. I have some bad cd's as a result

It's a shame that St Etienne never quite fitted the mould because, in theory at least, they were the quintessential Britpop band. No record from that period gives me fonder memories of living in London than their 'Nothing Can Stop Us' single. Sheer snogging-in-the-sunshine amazingness.

Thread needs more Pulp.

Also Blur are great. First few albums at least, they are the only ones I have.
