Introduction

We like to do currated playlists and also we are featured in hundreds of playlists on Spotify and wanted to higlight a few. We are always looking for suggestions for our playlist, so if you have a good idea then post a link to spotify in the comments!

This weeks playlist is all about the British Indie music we have listened to over the years which has so many classic songs. This is quite a mix and its definition is interesting about what is considered indie music! However there are some top songs in it for sure. We only just started this playlist so if you have a good suggestion then let us know in the comments!

Song picks

Here are some highlights for this weeks playlist:

Now Brit Pop and Indie were intrinsically linked especially in the late 90's and early 00's. I am not sure there is a more iconic tune of that time. Jarvis Cocker was always interesting especially to his approach to MJ at award ceremonies. However this song written about his time at Art college in London is well worth the listen.!

Have you seen High Fidelity? if not why not? One of the most iconic music films of its time and introduces this song perfectly in the record store....all he does is put it on and people buy it! Why you may ask? Well cause it is infectious, if you can listen to this without nodding your head or tapping your foot then you need to do the Turin test.....

Now this little known band I think had 2 drummers....the recording is a bit grainy but this band were at the heart of the underground British indie scene and are well worth the listen!

Ian Brown a legend in his own right came out with this when he went solo....not jealous at all as I consider this almost perfect as a song and production of its genre.

if in doubt do a cover of a Rolling Stones and make it an anthem of its time.....they really did a number on this and it worked!

Can't help you with this one sadly. I don't even know what qualifies as British Indie.

I do know the first one in your list - Common People - but not the others. 😊

P.S. Is there such a thing as American Indie?
