Yesterday's winners were the charlatans which I don't think is a surprise to

Today is

Finley Quaye vs the Verve.

Britpop Knockout Rules explanation.

Now that the best britpop list is complete is now time to find out who is the best of the best.

This knockout is going to be a bit different.

Each day a pair of winners will battle it out and the winner will go through to the next round.

The bands or artists must battle it out by your comments........ But....... They can't be judged on the music they have created.

Britpop was a movement it was fashion it was a feeling of the time it was a million other things that meant a million other things to each individual.

So, you must argue or agree which band/ artist should go through vs the other band/ artist through other means than the music they created.

It could be Noels iconic Union Jack guitar or jarvis showing his arse at the Brits. Or any other iconic thing or anything else.

Easy win for Blur yesterday.

Today is XTC vs The Charlatans

Ash: Goldfinger and Oh yeah (joint winners)

Blur: This is a low

The Charlatans: One to another.

Dodgy: Staying out for the summer

Elastica: Stutter

Flamingoes: Disappointed and Scenester

Gene: Olympian

Hurricane #1: Step into my world

Ian Brown: Corpses in their mouths

James: Sometimes

So Sometimes wins it for James. 10 songs got a nomination but surprisingly none for Sit Down which I find ridiculous.

We now move onto Kula Shaker. Hush is their most streamed song with 26m.

What will you vote for?

I'm talking Thurman, Catch, Don levels of Obscure.

Ash: Goldfinger and Oh yeah (joint winners)

Blur: This is a low

The Charlatans: One to another.

Dodgy: Staying out for the summer

Elastica: Stutter

Flamingoes: Disappointed and Scenester

Gene: Olympian

Hurricane #1: Step into my world

Ian Brown: Corpses in their mouths

A very close vote on this one. 10 songs were nominated with Corpses in their mouths coming out on top followed closely by My Star and Fear.

We now move onto James. There was some debate in the original vote as to if they were Britpop or not. Their most streamed song is Laid with 187 million streams. Sit down is their second most streamed song but it is a long way behind (which suprised me a lot)

What will you vote for?

Dodgy took round 6 easily.

Today is Northern Uproar vs Lush

Just wondering because I like them and have seen a few websites describe them as britpop. I was born after britpop happened and dont live in the UK so I dont really have anyone near me to ask.

Ash: Goldfinger and Oh yeah (joint winners)

Blur: This is a low

The Charlatans: One to another.

Dodgy: Staying out for the summer

Elastica: Stutter

Flamingoes: Disappointed and Scenester

Gene: Olympian

Hurricane #1: Step into my world

Not surprisingly less interest for this one. Step into my World won with 5 votes. The only other songs to be nominated were: Chain Reaction, Just an illusion and Only the strongest will survive.

We now move onto King Monkey, Ian Brown. His highest streamed song is F.E.A.R with 30m streams. His second most streamed song is Stelify with half of that.

What will you vote for?

Round 1 winners were Gorkys Zygotic Mynci. The Welsh rockers seemed to get the vote although it was very close. James' iconic 'sit down' thing was great but Gorkys use of the Welsh language may have just tipped the vote in favour of themselves.

Round 2 is Kula Shaker vs Oasis This could be a good one.

Now we know def. The Smiths and Viva Hate did influence some britpop. However some of the stuff on Bona Drag and HMV / Parlophone Singles could pretty much be considered britpop??

Examples include Piccadilly Palare, Boxers, Have-a-go Merchant
