Being born in 1979, the mid-90's period forms the hub of my teenage years. I remember it all. Some bad bands. Some good bands. Some great bands. A ton of music publications to read. It was an awesome time to grow up in.
Agree Jack - I was a bit older and have really enjoyed going back to this time again - a lot of sore heads and fuzzy good memories! Great times and with Oasis back we may get some new memories! Thanks for watching a commenting!🫡 I suspect I will be doing a lot more 90’s stuff ! But that’s between us 👀
@@gavaxemanspins Can't wait to see what you have for us. New subscriber, BTW. I found myself nodding in agreement with the vast majority of your choices, and the reasons for why you chose them. That '94 to '96 era was indeed a special time but I do kind of feel sorry for the great many bands that were snapped up by the major labels during that time, in the hope of piggybacking on the Britpop hype, only to later find themselves dropped or just plain neglected by their label once the bubble burst in '97 and beyond. But that brief period was just the best for an indie kid like me. Have a great one.
@@jackdubz4247 thanks Jack for the great comfy- and cheers for subscribing - yep it was a brill time - and there has been a little bit of that magic in the air this week too with the Oasis reunion- just shows there’s a lot of passion still out there for this era ! Defo will be doing a lot more 90’s stuff going forward 🫡🇬🇧
The indie/ alternative bands in the 80s had dire production. As soon as the 90s came around, production got so much better which helps me like it alot more
@@shoegazer93 - yep - all a bit tinny !! Thanks for comment- i might need to do a show gaze video …. Will need to do a lot of listening though as not played a lot of them
in years ! 🫡🙏🎸
I was born in 74 so I had shoe gaze (yawn) in my teens. But in my late teens (1992/93) Britpop was on its way…Bands with a bit of swagger and personality…(thank God!)
@@jamierobinson9097 yep it was a great period - some swagger and ambition over indie cool ! Thanks for commenting Jamie 😛🇬🇧
Have just ordered the Dodgy boxset. It will be great having those three albums in the collection and not just the compilation!
Nice one - hope you enjoy 👍
Sam them supporting the Lightning Seeds in Hamburg in 95. Ace band.
Wow, great video my friend, brought back a few memories 😊
@@beatledavetherecordcollector thanks Dave 🫡
Great list, for me the most underrated album of the britpop era was 60ft Dolls debut The Big 3.
@@petewinder3211 thanks for commenting Pete - I have to say 60ft Dolls passed me by completely- will have to check them out - thanks for the suggestion 🫡🇬🇧
@@gavaxemanspins I'm sure you'll enjoy them, i believe they had a track on the compilation album Shine 5, that's how i discovered them
@@petewinder3211 will seek them out !
For real Definitely Maybe and the singles are the best of Oasis, the best sound and the more real stuff, What´s the Story was made for america, is less britpop, it´s heavily influenced by REM and america, and heavily produced, some stuff like some might say and roll with it still sound very britpop, but the ballads and anthems even when are good, are a departure from the britpop sound from the early 90s
Cheers John - yep - my peak Oasis period is the 1st album thru to the Some Might Say single with those great b sides - hoping they open the 2025 tour with Acquiesce! Thanks for commenting! 🫡🇬🇧🇺🇸
Alright Mate , Great Video but I will throw these in : Stanley Road , Dummy , Dog Man Star ,Blur 1997 Album , Ok Computer and Urban Hymns , all brilliant to these ears.
The Bends better than Ok Computer ? Northern Soul better than Urban Hymns ? keep off them Alco Pops Mate.
Totally Off Piste , there is a good little record shop in Stourbridge called Record Culture that you could check out now you a'int got nothing better to do 😂😂😂. New and second hand at reasonable prices.
Stay Well and Be Lucky Matey.
@@PSN489 I have frequented record culture - agree nice shop and good to see more used stuff the last time I was in - video was only up to 96 (to try and keep it to a reasonable length) so that did for a couple of your choices ! Also the emphasis was on the POP side - but never fear - a second video or two is in the works to cover the non britpoppy stuff ! Another great set of comments as ever so it shows you were paying attention!
Cheers again Gav 🫡👍☝️
I am a huge fan of Morrissey, blur, oasis, etc. and videos like this really do intrigue me. thanks for this!
@@13miserablelie glad you enjoyed - you have excellent taste - thanks for kind comments - more 90’s stuff coming soon
I used to love britpop but I can't hardly listen to it anymore. I was a hugh Blur fan and have listened to Parklife a million times. Too many times and today, if I must listen to a Blur britpop album I find The Great Escape more interesting. Modern Life is Rubbish I don't listen to anymore but For Tomorrow is their best song by far. Still love that tune. Best album from that era, and one of the few I still put on from time to time, is Different Class. For me Pulp won the battle of Britain. His and Hers is great too.
@@TheMafrand - thanks for commenting- yep I hadn’t listened to these albums in quite a while but have had a blast the last month revisiting them ! Stay tuned as I’m doing tbe 90’s non britpop video next - and the Blur album I listen to the most is 13 these days 🫡
@@gavaxemanspins 13 has aged well. I can't get through Tender anymore. It's ok but too long. And I hate gospel :-). But the more weird songs like Trimm Trabb or The Swamp Song has grown on me. They are pretty cool. I like Think Tank too. It has some great songs. I few I don't like but a song like Sweet Song is Damon Albarn when he is best. On the Way to the Club and Out of Time are awesome as well.
@@TheMafrand what do you think of the latest two albums ?
@@gavaxemanspins Honestly I haven't heard them that much. Don't have the same history with them than the first seven albums. What I've heard it's ok. Will give them a listen again soon.
@@TheMafrand - yep I wasn’t impressed with magic whip ( and to my shame I’ve not got round to listening to the new one yet!)
Fantastic video, Gav! I’m not a massive Britpop fan… however, I’m a massive fan of select albums. Totally agree with what you were saying about Parklife. Modern Life is Rubbish is definitely the Blur album for me. His n Hers is great 👌Definitely Maybe easily the best Oasis. Great to see you show Dodgy… fantastically underrated band. The Second Coming is the only album I’ve ever queued for. Also agree on The Bends… their best album. Difficult to find a more instantly likeable album than I Should Coco. Grand Prix… what a time to be alive! Indie discos were brilliant at that time and like you said brit pop was mixed with everything from mod pop, classic rock, psych, soul… great days. Expecting To Fly was top notch too. Their guitar player was brilliant. Really enjoyed that, Gav. A trip down memory lane really. One of my good pals played in Whiteout if you remember them? They coheadline toured with Oasis when they were coming through. Check them out if you’ve not heard them… No Time is a cool track. Cheers, Jack
@@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf thanks Jack - was a fun one to make - had a blast listening to those albums this week - and loads I missed out due to my one album only rule - great days indeed 🫡
I would've put Kula Shaker K in place of Placebo tbh
@@munkami yep strong album - K - be nice to have that one on vinyl ! Echo belly were another one I forgot ! Too many great bands ! Thanks for commenting
@@gavaxemanspins oh yeah Echobelly On definitely should be in there. So many to mention. Enjoyed it.
Brilliant play list on Spotify! Takes me back to my dancing days Mr N 😂😅
@@JudeNorman-hw9xv thanks Mrs N
Late to the party on this vid. Absolutely brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed.
Was aged 16-18 during this period and was in 'the thick of it'. Despite my music taste at that age which was the prog I still listen to now, I was hanging around in alternative music group and many mates listened to this stuff regularly. I was at all of those clubs, easy to get in under the age of 18 back then - Hoffmeister or 4X for £1.20 per pint, lovely!
Some excellent choices here, pretty much a who's who of it all. Good to see they've all been re-issued and have some demand still.
May I chuck in on the subs bench - Carnival of Light by Ride, K by Kula Shaker and the criminally overlooked Salad with Drink Me
@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 thanks George - yep - that Ride album is great - wish I had K on vinyl and will check out salad - thanks for commenting as ever - there is another 90’s one on some of the non Britpop 90’s genres ! Been a great trip done memory lane - records, booze , kebabs and taxis! Oh to be young again !! 🫡
Just ordered Salad drink me CD for a couple of quid on eBay ! Thanks for tbe recommendation
Really looking forward to this! Will be watching as soon as work is done for the day 😎
@@christianewen3227 thanks Christian - been fun to do and listen too 🫡
@@gavaxemanspins 😊🙏🫡
LOVE this video!!!
@@anetteblaaflat4698 thanks Annette - stand by for a sequel and maybe a prequel !
@@gavaxemanspins Cant wait!!
A did skim some of this but a expected to see glow on here by reef
@@1872patty - I think I missed a few - shows how many great albums came out - divine comedy were another one ☝️ thanks for commenting and I’ll allow you a skip or two !!!
Thanks for making this. I'm an American in my 20s but have always loved Britpop, one of my favorite ever music scenes. Blur are easily my favorite of those bands.
I've never really understood the term "Britpop" since all of the bands that got labeled with it are unambiguously rock bands, not pop bands. I also feel like it doesn't fit as a genre label since a lot of the bands don't really have that much in common musically. For example Pulp and Suede are a lot more glam rock than Oasis and Blur in my opinion. But as an American I'm sure there's a lot about Britpop that flies over my head.
@@combat2267 thanks for comments - yep it was very reactionary term after grunge had dominated the U.K. music press for a couple of years - always wondered how many of those bands translate out of the U.K. - glad you enjoyed! 🫡
@@gavaxemanspins I think Oasis is the only one that really could say they made it in America... not counting Song 2.
Nice vid!
A few contenders: Salad "Drink Me", Lush "Lovelife", Menswe@r "Nuisance", Morrissey "Vauxhall and I", the Boo Radleys "C'mon Kids"...
@@marcinrnowicki8011 - thanks Marc for commenting- yep loads of great music in this era - and it’s holding up well - been a fun period to revisit
Just ordered Salad Drink me on CD - a few comments have recommended it so thanks for the heads up 🫡
SUEDE❤
Well done.Great memories.The gigs were brilliant.Most venues now gone.
Special mentions for..
Bush -Sixteen Stone. Not the Britpop sound ,but what an album.
Stanley Road - Paul Weller. The best..
60ft Dolls - The Big Three. Not a major seller though
These Animal Men - Taxi For These Animal Men. Kicks It.
Xtra special mention goes to American Band 👀 ,,Green Day - Dookie. For bringing that sound that had been lost since late 70s - Early 80s.
All good stuff.
All the best mate. From North London.
Thanks Maurice - glad you enjoyed 🤩 amazing how much great stuff was around during the 90’s - a golden era 🫡
I still have that 60ft Dolls album. It's up in the attic somewhere. Great stuff.
Great look back at a great time in music. Some I wish I had on vinyø, some I wish I had over all. Teenage Fanclub is probably the band I’m well under way sort of to get on vinyl as well.
God I loved music that week I got Blur AND Pulp. I made it a thing if people asked me if I preffered Blur or Oasis to always answer Pulp and remind people the Charlatans were GREAT! 😄
@@MortenAastad - thanks for commenting Morten - glad you enjoyed and shared your memories- I’ve been playing these all day and the Elastica album has really stood the test of time - and yes Pulp were brilliant and the charlatans are one of the UK’s best too 🫡
@@gavaxemanspins I bought the first Charlatans album at the moment it came out and have been om board ever since. I may have been hungry for summat «Stone Roses» like, can’t remember, I never knew of anyone who liked them like I did round these parts. Someone muttered to me they were Stone Roses rip offs and I don’t think I spoke about music with that person again.
My favorite album is their second, Between 10th and 11th.
Which I’m listening to as I write this.
@@gavaxemanspins And of course Ash, and Shed Seven and my dear Cool Cymru Super Furry Animals! Man don’t give a sodd in deed! 🏴🏴🏴
That’s a really underrated album - wish they would reissue the 3rd album as it’s mega hard to find at a good price- enjoy !
Everything Must Go was a miracle wasn’t it? Wow… Hits me right in the old ticker that one. Well, you know this, you’ve seen my Welsh tinged videos.

I knew I’d forget someone !! ❤
Wot, no Menswear?
@@markuspboeddeker5930 there’s another one I forgot about (divine comedy too!) - thanks for commenting. . . What a great couple of years !!
Looking for Bluetones..
