I imagine this will fail miserably, as only about five people read this thing regularly, but anyway...
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to compile an 80-minute CD, themed around the Britpop Era.
The rules:
- For the purposes of this CD, a song is classified as Britpop if it was released by a British band during the period 16/11/1993 (release of Blur's Modern Life Is Rubbish) through to 21/08/1997 (Oasis's Be Here Now). This allows you to include many bands that were never classified as Britpop. You may be asked for justification.
- A band can appear no more than twice on the compilation; furthermore, if you do have two tracks from the same band, they must be from different albums or singles (this is to prevent Ian from sticking 20 Kenickie songs on a CD and declaring victory)
- The inclusion of Ocean Colour Scene, Northern Uproar, or Kula Shaker will be rightly mocked.
Deadline is a week from today. Send the list to my email, or post below. If you can't be bothered to create a whole disc, then track suggestions will be welcomed in the comment section.
