Grandes del britpop (via Bastián o Kid-T)
I’ve been asked to put together a mix that captures the britpop era of the mid 90’s. I spent most of my teenage years in England and have fond memories of my time there.Some of these Bands I stopped listening to a while ago, but hearing them again has been a lot of fun.
Not all these tracks are stricktly britpop ,some are from newer bands influenced from that time that still capture the sound

i found this article on popmatters about parklife in honour of its 15th anniversary. the writer of the article doesn’t exactly like the band except for this album and think they’re overrated, boring (!) bla bla bla but i like this paragraph:
Maybe that’s why Parklife is such a definitive work in the Britpop canon, and why it is so singularly representative of Blur as a band. It has the slightly removed, antiseptic quality of the wry observer who is too smart for his own good. The commentaries on English life at the “end of a century” are so razor-sharp, so spot-on—but Damon Albarn and his cohorts were not ones to get any dirt on their hands, like some of their contemporaries so readily did. There is a reason that Blur were such perfect pretty-boy prep school foils to Oasis’s hardscrabble bullies. Parklife is as close as the band ever came to crossing that line, the line between sterile observers and messy participants, between “Southern Fairies” and “Northern Monkeys”. And that’s what makes it the greatest record they ever made.
