This is the first of a series of Britpop reels I'm
doing. Each one will have ten artists in it.
They account for the full scope of Britpop
starting from the end of the 80s right through to
the second wave in the 00s.
In this first clip: Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Stone
Roses, Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Verve,
Coldplay, Pulp, Kula Shaker Tags :OasisBlurRadioheadStoneRosesManicStreetPreachersSuedeVerveColdplayPulpKulaShakerbritpopslideshow

Live performance by Blur on a special one-off
programme by the BBC on Britpop. Originally shown
on the 16th August 1995 when Blur won the Singles
Chart Battle, it was repeated again on 16th August
2005, part of BBC Four's 10th Anniversary Britpop
night. Tags :BlurCountryHouseTheGreatEscapeOasisChartBattleBBCBritpopAugust1995
Blur's label 'Food Records' moved the original
release date of 'Country House' to be on the same
day as Oasis' "Roll With It". The British media
had already reported an intense rivalry between
the two bands and this clash of releases was seen
as a battle for the number one spot.
"Country House" won Blur the Battle of Britpop
("Roll With It" coming in at No. 2 and having
significantly smaller sales) but they lost the war
as The Great Escape was beaten by Oasis' album
(What's the Story) Morning Glory on sales.
Incidentally, "Country House" features the lines
"He's got morning glory/And life's a different
story" which is largely assumed to have been a jab
at Oasis. However, Blur actually recorded the song
before Oasis had completed, let alone released,
the Morning Glory album. With dance act Jamiroquai
also having recorded a song named "Morning Glory"
in the mid-1990s, it is possible that may have
been the influence behind that line, while some
have suggested that the line was a jibe at Julian
Cope, who was known for using LSD. It may,
however, simply have been a reference to waking up
with an erection (an event for which "morning
glory" is a British slang expression). Tags :DamonAlbarnNoelLiamGallagherTheGreatEscapeWhat'sStory?(MorningGlory)1995UKBritishMusicNMELiveForeverDocumentary
