Salvaging The Past
Feb 19, 2003 · 1 minute readI 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.
