[Nolar Dog]

"Happy Hour" - The Housemartins

[Saxaboom]

Martin Sexton - Diner

[captainzep]

Wannadies -Hit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIEODNs8kRE -check out the bit at 1:15 where he appears to open-handed-slap the woman in the right tit? Incongruous.

Black Box Recorder -Facts of Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP-2VLQEv4c -A Mark and Lard all time favourite, if you're a bloke and went through puberty, this song is like a comforting if strangely erotic hug.

Supergrass -Caught by the Fuzz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm0WvH30idM&fea...

Pete Townsend -Little is enough
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PByvwTuUQA -not well known but such a good 80's track

Iron Maiden -Can I play with Madness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocFxQjPeyiY

Kiss -Crazy Nights
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kjNBd7sO6M -And why not?

Arab Strap -First Big Weekend of the Summer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Krvl7AEAs -arguably the finest song of the entire fecking 90's.

-That'll do for a bit, off the top of my head and that.

Pendulum - Watercolour, nothing to do with what your after but its what im jamming to now.

[Baby Huey]

Regret. New Order

[Chris71]

Sensing a Britpop theme I'm going to suggest:

Neighbourhood by Space
Place Your Hands On by Reef
One Way by The Levellers
The Circle (acoustic version preferably) by Ocean Colour Scene
A Design For Life by The Manic Street Preachers
The Only One I Love by The Charlatans
Staying Out For The Summer by Dodgy

That should keep you stuck in 1996 for a few hours!

[Plotloss]

Dodgy - Grassman

"Happy Hour" - The Housemartins

Always a winner. (especially with the video featuring a young fatboy slim doing some very questionable dancing)

[alfa pint]

Blast from the past here. Dizkneeland by Dada. Would fit in very well with the stuff you've mentioned.

[yazza54]

Joy Division - Shadowplay


Then have a fit.

If we're going 'forgotten britpop' then what about:

Hurricane #1 - "Step Into My World"

The rest of their output wasn't great, but I couldn't get enough of this track and the amazing layered guitar solo at the end

Mansun – "Legacy"

My favourite band of the period

The Bluetones – "Marblehead Johnson"

Still going now and just released a new album, always good songs and a strong sense of humour

Ride – "Leave Them All Behind"

Epic early 90s shoegaze anthem

The Longpigs – "Far"

Underrated at the time and stood the test of time quite well
