[@robrobs213]

The mid to late 90's and early 2000's were really a golden age for British music. It was a conveyor belt of bands producing classics like this. If youre from the 90's youlll remember many classics from these bands The Seahorses, OCS, Supergrass, Sleeper, Travis, Suede, Echobelly, The Verve Not all time greats in terms of band longevity, but the songs they did make will live on forever!

[@jamesthecat]

Absolutely, and other bands that only made 1 or 2 albums but who also wrote some classic songs (like Geneva, or Longpigs) - so much competition at the time that's it no wonder some can be 'forgotten'!
