Great work, both of you. I'm not a big fan of Britpop so my favourites will be mainly from the '+' part:
Wake Up Boo Bitter Sweet Symphony Street Spirit Female Of The Species A Girl Like You A Design For Life Ready To Go Lucky You He's On The Phone |

For a time, A Design for Life, Street Spirit and Animal Nitrate were my favourite songs of the 90s but I could never find a compilation with all 3 on it. Now I have one!

Excellent work on the Britpop album. I feel like this is a genre that has been 'done to death' by compilation makers but they've never quite got it right, there are some great inclusions on here like Dubstar and Saint Etienne that tap into my appetite for something that wears its heart on its sleeve - but I think you've captured the mood of the era rly well.
Btw, love that you included Bis there - writers and performers of the Powerpuff Girls theme - which is of course a god tier Britpop anthem! |

I’m late to this but these are all superb, fantastic job everyone involved!
Extra props to 1999, 2017, and Lost Legends. I’ve saved all three of those on Spotify and will happily play through these frequently. Britpop isn’t my favourite genre (would you consider it as a genre or more of a style?) but I still admit there’s quite a few solid songs on there. Amazing Edit: I forgot to mention this before, but I wanna commend you guys on the flow on each of these albums. Something Now! hasn’t been successful in for… years? If ever! There’s natural progression track on track flowing between genres as best as possible. I’ve looked at the most recent official Now’s and they are wildly all over the place This post has been edited by Dexton: 12th March 2024, 04:15 AM |

Good to hear you like the sequencing, we do spend quite a lot of time working on it and discussing it. Now used to be pretty good at it - much less so now, although some of the Yearbooks have been good - like 1990. A lot of the other spin-offs like Pop Gold could essentially be on shuffle as far as sequencing goes. |

Female of the Species really reminds me of Your Woman by White Town as it has similar vocal effects. |

  Whole Playlist Disc 1 Disc 2 'Classic Rock' for want of a better term, covering the 1970's and formative 1960's releases that paved the way for the birth of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. A genre whose early influences included such diverse styles as Blues, Jazz, Classical, Psychedelia, Garage Rock, Rock N Roll and Rhythm & Blues. The collection is presented in a loosely chronological order, limited to one track per artist and has been compiled to showcase the most important and recognisable tracks by the greatest artists of the era, whilst eschewing slower songs and ballads. Additionally, in the interests of brevity and the desire to feature as many tracks as possible, some of the longer songs are represented by their single edit. Disc 1 - 1964-1974 - Opens with The Kinks' You Really Got Me, the song many cite as starting the ball rolling for others to run with. A number fo essential and groundbreaking acts follow - Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Cream likely need no introduction and they are followed by lesser known yet hugely influential acts like Blue Cheer and MC5 who helped inspire Grunge and Punk years down the line. By the turn of the decade Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath had laid the templates, respectively for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, that would endure for decades to come. Where the late 60's Hard Rock had arguably been led by American acts it was Britain that can claim the Holy Trinity of Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple. The disc closes out with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Southern Rock epic Free Bird as 1974 draws to close. Disc 2 - 1975-1979 - Opens with Queen's iconic Bohemian Rhapsody, something of an outlier as the genre began to fully coalesce into a definable sound. As the 70's progressed Kiss ramped up the Glam element and both Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy pioneered the twin guitar attack. Heart, The Runaways and Pat Benatar proved early on that this was not just a man's game and Meat Loaf had one of the decades most iconic and biggest selling albums. As the 80's began to loom in sight a New Wave of British Heavy Metal began to emerge with the likes of Def Leppard at the forefront, whilst America's Van Halen showed exactly where the US sound was heading, as they covered the song that started it all, bringing the whole collection neatly full circle. Of course there will always be classics that get left out, usually because that band has several in their armoury, but the hope is this collection proves a solid primer and historical document for the first great era of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. |

There are some great selections here, my own favourites being Whole Lotta Love, Silver Machine, Smoke On The Water, Freebird, Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Fear The Reaper, More Than A Feeling and Since You've Been Gone. There are some I don't know so I'll make sure I listen to the playlist.
I've put the track listing on the concurrent thread in the retro forum. |

Many thanks for putting this together Severin, a brilliant collection and quite a few for me to discover on here, especially on Disc 1.

I was listening to it while doing the track listings last week and it felt all encompassing and authoritative. I look forward to the follow up compilations, Severin. Thanks so much for doing this. You knowledge and enthusiasm was obvious from the first conversation we had!
