Without repeating bands, here's my Top 5:\n\n1. Blur - Parklife\n2. Pulp - Different Class\n3. Supergrass - I Should Coco\n4. Oasis - Definitely Maybe\n5. Suede - Dog Man Star\n\nBeyond those it's hard to define which bands fall under the Britpop label. If you stretch out beyond the 1994-1997 era considered by many critics to be the "official" Britpop era (many of whom consider the release of Robbie Williams' first   album as the beginning of the end), things get more interesting. \n\nIf you're flexible, here's the remainder of my list:\n\n6. Stone Roses - Stone Roses (1st album)\n7. Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go\n8. Elastica - Elastica (1st album)\n9. Stereophonics - Performance and Coctails\n10. Cast - Magic Hour\n\nOh, sorry, but this one goes to eleven...\n\n11. The La's - The La's\n\nFew other noteworthy bands. Some were more or less in the Britpop club, but now, 10 years later, it's so hard to say who was or wasn't. Even amongst the key players - Blur, Oasis, etc. - there are almost no similarities between those bands. Anyhow, these bands are/were all quite good around that time and probably deserve inclusion (pick your favorite album):\n\n- James\n- The Wonder Stuff\n- Gene (actually, if I recall, Gene was on the cover of the NME at least as many times as Richey James in '95, so that must bump up their ranking)\n- Travis\n- Chumbawaumba (everything BEFORE their massive US radio hit, "Tubthumping")\n- Ash\n- The Boo Radleys\n- Super Furry Animals\n- These Animal Men\n- Ween \n- Massive Attack\n- Portishead\n\nYou've got me reminiscing now. Might have to fire up some old Suede.\n\nBTW, new Supergrass album, Road to Rouen, is excellent.

1. Coldplay - pretty good so far, generally overrated, lets see where it goes.\n\n2. U2 - One of the most successful bands of all time.  They have amazingly evolved their sound to stay current through three decades.  Good songwriting and ensemble playing.\n\n3. Bon Jovi - Sweet vocals.  Sweet arrangements.  A little too sweet for my liking.\n\n4. Radiohead - Interesting alternative rock.  I love the song 'Creep', great vocals.\n\n5. Aerosmith - One of America's most popular heavy rock bands.  Pretty much dated but who can resist the amazing hooks on Walk This Way and a few of their other great songs.

"Walk On" by U2\n\nI can't say that it's my absolute favorite of all time, but it's up there. I used to hear it/purposely listen to it over and over during the time while I was in medic school, which was a huge transition and achievement in my life. It always reminds me of that time period.

You know me, zen, I'll not pick just one; I'm naming several... okay, more than several! ;) (These are listed in no particular order, btw. Annoying Patz by alphabetizing all my lists has grown stale for me, alas.)\n\n"Vapour Trail" ~ Ride\n(My favourite of my many now-defunct British bands; this song is sublime)\n"Beneath" ~ Ride\n(Hard to find but oh so very worth it! The guitar fills and drums alone are to die for)\n"Time Machine" ~ Ride\n(Only one band has more entries in this list, and there's a reason for that)\n"Breather" ~ Chapterhouse\n(Playing this when I drive guarantees an instantaneous increase in speed of 20-30 mph, minimum)\n"Frost" ~ Chapterhouse\n(One of the greatest guitar, bass and drum driven songs ever recorded, and by one of the most talented bands, alas also defunct)\n"Hayfever" ~ The Trash Can Sinatras\n(My best kept Scottish secret; they write lyrics like Robbie Burns)\n"Bloodrush" ~ The Trash Can Sinatras\n(The most underrated band in music history, not just in Scotland)\n"Twisted & Bent" ~ The Trash Can Sinatras\n(The best song off 'A Happy Pocket,' alas, an album no longer in print -- but I've got mine, baby!)\n"Show Me Mary" ~ Catherine Wheel\n(Just TRY to sit still for this one -- just TRY!)\n"Black Metallic" ~ Catherine Wheel\n(An anthem for the '90s that I simply adore)\n"Bitter Seeet Symphony" ~ The Verve\n(The best song of 1997 and one of the best songs ever recorded)\n"D'You Know What I Mean?" ~ Oasis\n('Be Here Now' was their best album and this their best song, period)\n"I Hope, I Think, I Know" ~ Oasis\n(Breathless; just try singing along)\n"Let Down" ~ Radiohead\n(The best track off 'OK Computer' and one of the best songs I've ever heard)\n"The Bends" ~ Radiohead\n(Title track from their best album; it's killer good)\n"Starálfur" ~ Sigur Rós\n(My current favourite band; they are Icelandic, ethereal and sublime)\n"Untitled (Track 3)" ~ Sigur Rós\n(None of the songs on () are titled; listen and know paradise)\n"Glósóli" ~ Sigur Rós\n(The first song I heard off their latest CD, 'Takk,' and as powerfully beautiful a song as you will ever hear in your entire life! *chills*)\n"Hoppípolla" ~ Sigur Rós\n(The only band I'm giving 4 entries; Why? Because they are the saviours of 21st century rock music.

i'll have to narrow that down to just today and the last couple. foremost i listen to orchid obsessively. really. but i have to admit ive really been liking that pony song and i come with water (haha), i have been known to overplay the everlasting gaze and that other 14 minute song. and from time to time i wear out a couple by swell, specifically "dan, the son of god", havent quiet figured that one out yet..... there may be a couple more but i dont want yahoo to run out of ink again..

Since Aerosmiths' Big Ones CD is my all-time favorite - as in stranded on a desert isle with only 1 cd to listen to, that's what I would choose! - I love all those songs! To choose only one, tho,\nI would have to say Don't Want To Miss A Thing from that meteor movie. It's how I feel about my children, believe it or not - I love them so much & I don't want to miss a thing - can't believe they're in my life, I'm blown away by how amazing they are & that song sums it up very well.  Great question - thanks!!!!
