The Galaxie 500 I listen to still sound a long way away from bands like Pulp, Blur and Elastica. I just find their inclusion on a Britpop list a bit odd and inconsistent.
Didn't say that all those bands sounded exactly similar to Britpop but Dinosaur Jr had an obvious influence on Teenage Fanclub and a lot of shoegaze bands have cited them as an influence. Lilys sound more British than Galaxie 500 do (in fact their 1999 album The 3 Way could easily pass as a Britpop album) and I was actually shocked to discover that Black Tambourine weren't British.
By the way your list is still missing albums by Adorable, Catherine Wheel and Moose.
