GOOD MORNING BRITAIN

I'm back in the UK for my second visit in three months, this time for the Kapow! show that is happening this Saturday and Sunday. I've spent an inordinate amount of time listening to The Like recently, but this morning, I've got Britpop on the brain. These are the 10 tracks that sum the mid-'90s up the best for me:

1. Blur - "Popscene," (single a-side, 1993)
2. Stephen Duffy - "London Girls," (Duffy, 1995)
3. Elastica - "Connection," (Elastica, 1995)
4. Suede - "Metal Mickey," (Suede, 1993)
5. The Charlatans - "Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over," (The Charlatans, 1995)
6. Ocean Colour Scene - "The Day We Caught the Train," (Moseley Shoals, 1996)
7. Gene - "Be My Light, Be My Guide," (single a-side, 1994)
8. Pulp - "Sorted for E's & Wizz," (Different Class, 1995)
9. Oasis - "Some Might Say," ((What's the Story) Morning Glory?, 1995)
10. Supergrass - "Sitting Up Straight," (I Should Coco, 1995)
