This is my idea for people to participate in a poll of the best hits of the classic Britpop years of 1995 and 1996. It's an era of music I'm really fond of and hopefully others here will feel the same way. I've compiled a list of 32 songs to start with that should *hopefully* represent most all the more popular bands of the era. Here's how it works. Take the songs in each group and rank them. 4 pts: your fave song of the group 3 pts: your second fave 2 pts: your third fave 1 pt: your least fave I'll tally the votes and the top 2 from each group will advance to Round 2 where it will be down to 16 songs. Hope this is fun for people and sorry in advance if I forgot anyone's fave band! I tried to remember as many as I could!  ;D  Group 1 Bluetones - Slight Return Elastica - Connection Oasis - Wonderwall Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo Group 2 Manic Street Preachers - A Design For Life The Charlatans - One To Another Supergrass - Alright Blur - Charmless Man Group 3 Pulp - Common People Space - Female Of The Species Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train Edwin Collins - A Girl Like You Group 4 Lush - Ladykillers Kula Shaker - Tattva Suede - Trash Dodgy - Good Enough Group 5 Cast - Alright Blur - Country House Oasis - Roll With It Black Grape - In The Name Of The Father Group 6 Morrissey - Boxers Shed Seven - Going For Gold Babybird - You're Gorgeous Pulp - Disco 2000 Group 7 Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me McAlmont & Butler - Yes Super Furry Animals - Something For The Weekend Mansun - Wide Open Space Group 8 Menswear - Being Brave Sleeper - Sale Of The Century Placebo - Nancy Boy Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees |

You should have all been listening to REP's Britpop special around the New Year.
Group 1
2 Bluetones - Slight Return
1 Elastica - Connection (the only one that isn't an NM #1 in this list)
3 Oasis - Wonderwall
4 Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo
Group 2
4 Manic Street Preachers - A Design For Life
1 The Charlatans - One To Another
3 Supergrass - Alright
2 Blur - Charmless Man
Group 3
4 Pulp - Common People
2 Space - Female Of The Species
3 Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train
1 Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You (sorry Kate)
again 3 NM #1s in above group.
Group 4
1 Lush - Ladykillers
3 Kula Shaker - Tattva
2 Suede - Trash
4 Dodgy - Good Enough (although one of their worst songs. this is a weak group though).
Group 5
3 Cast - Alright
4 Blur - Country House
2 Oasis - Roll With It
1 Black Grape - In The Name Of The Father
(hey you would put that Blur song and that Oasis song in the same group wouldn't you).
Group 6
4 Morrissey - Boxers
1 Shed Seven - Going For Gold
2 Babybird - You're Gorgeous
3 Pulp - Disco 2000
and I got fed up of Shed Seven in my britpop special. They had loads of songs in it and they weren't as great as all that.
Group 7
4 Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me
3 McAlmont & Butler - Yes
2 Super Furry Animals - Something 4 The Weekend
1 Mansun - Wide Open Space
Group 8
1 Menswear - Being Brave
3 Sleeper - Sale Of The Century
2 Placebo - Nancy Boy (even though they're not British)
4 Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
You picked my favourite Cast song although it wasn't one of their UK top 10 hits.
