Here is the final tracklisting I’ve come up with. I’ve read all the posts and tried to put bits and pieces from each in. It’s mainly from 92-97 although there are a few exceptions that I felt were so good they had to be included. People may moan and say that “they weren’t really part of the Britpop scene” but it is a compilation and no compilations are perfect.

[Uglybob]

your taking the piss with the inclusion of jimmy ray surely?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

not bad, id buy it.

[MK Chris]

Well I would buy it. Although I have no musical taste.

[MC]

your taking the piss with the inclusion of jimmy ray surely?

nah. every compilation has to have one sh*t track

[Uglybob]

whereas its the opposite with Now compilations in that it has to have one good track.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

says the man who has most now albums. now albums are too inolved in what the charts are doing to worry about what the proper music fans want. what you want is albums like 'the album'

[kendra k]

now is crap, but i love it.

how the hell is jimmy ray even britpop?

[HerculePoirot]

Yeah it's quite good but please take out Jimmy Ray and replace with Cast.

Thankyou.

[~JACQUI~]

i love blur. i like the universal and end of a century. I looooove tender!

[Eddie]

Yeah it's quite good but please take out Jimmy Ray and replace with Cast.

Thankyou.

yeah, You've got to have some Cast on a Britpop album. Finetime or sandstorm I suggest.

[Sidders]

I would have put Shed 7's Going for Gold or Disco Down on it rather than Chasing Rainbows.

[Mr Dion]

Everlast is right though. It is a label give to that kind of music. so shut up.

well thats just rude.

so is it possible for a non british band to have a britpop hit?

[Uglybob]

i hated cast with a passion. especially that "walkaway". more suicidal song than most of radioheads back catalogue.

[MK Chris]

Everlast is right though. It is a label give to that kind of music. so shut up.

well thats just rude.

so is it possible for a non british band to have a britpop hit?

By definition - No! Moron.

oo right, they not british, so cant be britpop. but british popular music like E17 cant be brit pop either, but by definition surely it should..... ahh its just too much

[HerculePoirot]

When did East 17 become E17? Was that when Brian Harvey got sacked, or when he was reinstated and Tony Mortimer left?

[MK Chris]

It was always E17 cos its a postal wotsit in london village.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

people in london normally say east 17 or north west 12 as opposed to the actual letters. dont know why.

[Sidders]

Probably because that's what the letters stand for.

[~JACQUI~]

OMG i remember Jimmy Ray, unfurtunately. a lad i knew when he saw him in my Smash Hits (when it was good) thought he was martin clunes. cant see the likeness myself!

[Uglybob]

For you information

East 17 were called that from 1992-1996
The returned in 1998 with Each Time in 1998 under the name E-17 so they werent always E-17.

[Mr Dion]

od you actually retain this information inyour head, or do you go looking fo it? either way its a wee bit scary.

[~JACQUI~]

i thought that was common knowledge. some people called them E17 from the start, but their official name was East 17, till as Uglybob said they released Each Time

[Uglybob]
