The Cranberries - Zombie

Ireland's answer to britpop, i guess.

Pulp - Common People

I remember hating Britpop because I was all about punk rock and music sounding crappy at the time. boy was I wrong.

Black Grape - In the Name of the Father

I wanted to post their video for Kelly's Heroes, but can't find a copy. Anyway, enjoy the Ryder brothers' second act. Sorry it's a pop up video. :(

Lush - Ladykillers

While America was drowning its sorrows post-grunge in flannel shirts and grandma sweaters, across the pond the English music scene emerged from a stir fried raver scene and hearkened back to the Beatles, filtered through a post-punk haze. I remember reading an interview with Liam Gallagher of Oasis talking about how he thought that Nirvana's attitude on their song "I Hate Myself and Wish I Was Dead" was "shite".

Now, hate Oasis all you want, but you gotta admit that there was a lot of good music in Brit Pop, certainly better than the crap that America was listening to at the time, like Seven Mary Three or Live.

Stone Roses - Love Spreads

Ahh, pretty much the prototype for Brit Pop was the Stone Roses, I remember really liking this song when it was new.

Oasis - Live Forever

Ahh, what a breath of fresh air. All the pessimism of grunge, gone! Too bad it'll all self destruct in a few short years. It was fun while it lasted though.
