Default Britpop
All the talk about the 20th anniversary of various albums has me feeling nostalgic - first it was NIN and The Downward Spiral, now Blur's Parklife. I had a huge thing for britpop in the 90's, everything from Suede and Saint Etienne to The Verve and Spiritualized. Oddly enough, I never cared all that much for Oasis, but Pulp is a band I love to this day...Different Class in particular.

What were some of your favorite albums? Favorite songs? Who would you consider the best or most influential artists of that time?

I literally have never heard a britpop album that I found to be listenable all the way through but I'm fond of some singles by Oasis, Blur, Suede and Travis.

Anyone else really dislike the term "Britpop"?

I know right? It just doesn't sound good at all.

What is the reason behind the dislike of the term?

For me the term just makes it easier to lump bands like the Spice Girls or S Club 7 in with the ones we're discussing. Not that I'm right of course, that's just my opinion.

It's too general for my liking. There's so much variety in the artists that get placed into the category.
