Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
I remember the music press getting all excited over late period bands like Gay Dad & Rialto, even more than most of the general public.

By a weird coincidence, when I woke up this morning, I had 'The Ballad Of Tom Jones' by Space & Cerys Matthews playing in my head, and it's been there most of the day!

I've never thrown my knickers at you and I don't come from Wales.
Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
I liked Mansun, even through to the early 2000s and the stuff most people weren't much interested in.
Their video for the song Legacy, featuring Action Man-like dolls acting out the rise and fall of a rock band, was one of my favourite videos of the time.
Dodgy had a couple of great singles.
The Sundays were my favourite band of the 90s, though, but never got caught in the Britpop wave - they released in 92, before it started, and 97 after it finished!
Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
Have to say I thought Britpop was really overrated. I liked Supergrass a lot and Blur and Oasis made a couple of decent albums but that was about it for me.
To add to previous bands already mentioned, can also remember stuff like Elastica and Sleeper. Not an era I look back on with much affection though, it's telling that most faded away soon after that scene ended.
Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
Sleeper were really good imo. Their 'Pleased To Meet You' album is great!! I still listen to it now.
Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
Space were a great band; their two albums from the era, Spiders and Tin Planet are well worth a listen.
Re: The Britpop Bandwagon
I saw Space live in 1998/1999 they were amazing, great band IMO.
