W♥M057: Britpop Top Ten Countdown
|
Britpop: Jarvis vs Blur ♥ Flyer (12/05/09)
|
This is the best of the best, and as far as I’m concern, this is the best countdown ever. If you had to listen to just one of our podcast, I think this the one you have to listen to.
Going into the recording, we already knew that it would be one massive recording session that will be split into two parts. So the first part is the countdown, thirty of our favorite Britpop tunes. The second part will be uploaded next week and involves a very hard Britpop Q Magazine Quiz. Seriously, it was hard, even for seasoned veterans like ourselves.
The next show, some ideas: Britpop girl bands ? Britpop band reunions ? If those doesn’t sound appealing, let me know what you’d like us to discuss. Otherwise, I can always talk hours on end about stalking Louise Wener.
As for the Britpop top list, these are our preference and not a mean to measure how important a band is to that genre. Also, obviously we all had our Pulp, Blur, and Oasis moment, but the choice in songs are interesting to note. I have always known that my top two are the Blur vs Oasis, it was the other eight that was hard to have placement. I could have easily had a top 20 or 30. Easily.
Some honorable mentions should be sent to Cast, Salad, Charlatans.
