Galaxie 500 are not British.

Does it matter?

Kind of defeats the purpose of a britpop list. A lot of britpop bands looked back to 60's and early 70's British artists for their inspiration, like T-Rex, Bowie and The Kinks. I love Galaxie 500 and everything but I don'r see where they come into it.

I do not agree with some of those on there. Some I have not heard of, and some I forgot. Thanks.

Their sound is really similar to the dreampop/early shoegaze stuff that influenced britpop or was around just before britpop took off, and all those bands were british.

:beer:

I'm not saying they didn't have an influence, but there were also countless non-British bands who did. Personally I find them closer in spirit to bands like Red House Painters, Codeine and Low. If you're going to include Galaxie 500 in a Britpop list then why not include The Velvet Underground, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Drop Nineteens, Lilys, Black Tamborine, Yo La Tengo etc? And no not all shoegaze bands were British.

See most of those barely have a sound that resembles Brit pop. Galaxie 500 do.
