This count? It's a eurodance song, but man it's an amazing song.

This too is some eurodance from UK I like, hell, UK entered this in Eurovision in 96.

90s Britpop what I am threading about is the mid 90s British Indie rock bands I can name some of them Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Supergrass, The Verve, The Charlatans, Elastica etc. I am going through an obsession of listening to them bands at the moment

I love britpop. Along with the bands you mentioned I would recommend Suede, Ocean Colour Scene, The Bluetones, Ash, Shed Seven, Embrace and super furry animals although you probably know about these already.

Embrace make me cringe.

I would recommend the Super Furry Animals, though. I used to be obsessed with them when I was a teenager.

I still listen to the first embrace album and early b-sides but I get why people find them a bit cheesy. The longpigs are pretty cool too, I wish there were more bands like this about at the moment.

The only kind I ever heard during this time is the Spice Girls. I take it I am missing out on quite a bit.

Yes you did miss something

There are some over bands
The Boo Ridleys, Garbage, the Lightning Seeds, Travis, The Divine Comedy, Black Grape, Cast amongst others

I'm not huge on Britpop but:

I like more than a few songs by Oasis, Blue, OCS, and Elastica. And though Throwing Muses may not count, I also like their mid-90s work (see "Bright Yellow Gun" and "Shimmer" - reminds me of Elastica but with better lyrics)

Yesyes. I like the post-britpop bands too, and the early indie and Madchester scene that influenced Britpop. I think my own take on 90s is a bit weird, I consider Britpop to be the scene I grew up to, and 90% of people remember the 90s differently, eg. Dance-pop, boy and girl groups, etc. I sometimes wish I had normal memories like everyone else, people don't believe me when I say it.

I used to be hugely into Blur, and now I'm not. I'm still an Oasis fan but I shifted into preferring Noel over Liam along the way. I really think Suede are underrated, but I prefer Richard to the others, especially Brett; he's an arrogant frontman, but I liked his first solo album, and I was actually into The Tears too. I love the less heard-of Britpop bands who were more like Suede like Strangelove and Marion. I like These Animal Men, did anyone hear of them? They remind me of Marion and Mansun (the latter are post-britpop). Did anyone hear the band Andy Bell was in before Oasis, Hurricane #1? I was into their first album...

OK, LOL, I used to be a bit of a brit-nutter.

Edit: I prefer Sleeper to Elastica.

Edit 2: I liked Travis, but I haven't followed them into the 2000s. Good tunes, though.
