Via dyddgu. Bold is own music by, italic is seen live. Note that under owned I have included stuff which came on compilations off the Melody Maker (or at least those I can find), but not stuff which Aileen bought before we got together which is in our combined CD collection.

Way back at the dawn of time, I saw Minty supporting Pulp at a now defunct Brum venue I can't remember the name of. The singer was 'wearing' black pen circles around her boobs and a clear plastic shower curtain type thing suspended around her. The 'music' was even worse than this would suggest.

I think Pulp (twice) was the only Britpop gigs I ever went to. Gene, Gomez and The Divine Comedy are the ones I own you haven't bolded from that list.

The fact that you saw Menswear - with your mum - still amuses me no end :p

Also Drugstore.

Ah! Yes, though I'm pretty sure I didn't pick that up until a few years after the fact.

How the hell are Drugstore Britpop? The singer isn't British and they aren't pop!

The Wildhearts? What? And given some of the others they've listed, I'm surprised there's no Garbage.

What, no Terrorvision?

I own too many of those to mention here, but the only one off the list I've seen live is Ultrasound, when they supported Placebo. They were rubbish.

I would have liked to have seen SFA and Silversun when I was younger, but my parents were mean and said I was too young. Damn them.
