Of course we all have our own favorites, but these are my picks for some of the best music from a particular period in British music history. These are the songs that matter to me most. Download, and enjoy.

I'd love to see what others would pick for their favorites as well.

Really like that Chapterhouse...you don't hear about them very often.

I'd add "Don't Slow Down" from this unappreciated album by The Hollow Men from Manchester:

Props to anyone who's heard/remembers this.

I haven't heard much on this list but I'll check it out.

Unlike most critics, I'm a huge fan of Catherine Wheel's "Wishville" more than their other stuff.

oooh i'mma check this out at work tomorrow.

damnit, i told myself i was gonna hold off on new music for a minute until i catch up on listening to everything. thanks d!

Tracks 06-16...perfect mix. I may just duplicate this from my stacks, nice, my man.

also the best song on this list, imo.

i own every album or single on this list (including that hollow men album)!

btw, good mix d and looks a lot like a mix tape of mine around 1993 or so. don't understand how adorable weren't a huge band also that might be my favorite oasis song and suede were on a roll around that time...

Thanks Dalen

I was way too young for this the first time round and have been meaning to hear a lot of these bands for a while. This'll be a nice little primer

splates · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:03 am

so is this your british 1990-1995 mix then?

Oh, Dalen, you forgot Take That. You silly.

This response was just chock full of surprises.

Agreed, Adorable are just fantastic.

I was going back and forth between a few Oasis tunes actually. My other picks were Acquiesce, Cloudburst, Round Are Way.

"Back For Good" could have fit in nicely actually.

PopTodd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 9:28 am

Excellent mix, D.
This looks like a lot of the music I was listening to arounds that time, with quite a few things that I never heard. I would probably love this!

Rather tragically Take That are reforming, without a certain Robbie Williams.

Thanks, D. Can't wait to hear this, nice touch on the Eugenius.

Odds Bodkins · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 9:48 am

Thanks for this Big D! I needed something to ween me away from rap.

PopTodd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 9:53 am

Oh, and what would I add to this?
Maybe...
Paul Weller - "The Weaver"
Stereolab - "Ping Pong"
Cornershop - "Wog"

But you covered most of it, methinks.

EDIT:
Oh yeah! And how about some Wonder Stuff? Maybe "Size Of a Cow".

no guru · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 9:58 am

There's some very good songs here, but I gravitate more to the Half Man Half Biscuit oddities of the time. I love groups like Lush, but listen to ones like The Wedding Present and James just as much.

Busty Rhodes · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 10:00 am

Thanks D! I'll be spinnin dis at work today.

gauchebag · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2006 10:16 am

i'll give this a hoot

even more tragically, they'll sell out a 20 date tour......even without Robbie. :shock:
