James - Waltzing Along

Link

An other decent soft rock effort from James, their 5th entry in the series.

The final single off their 7th album Whiplash, I think it's probably the strongest on it also, despite beginning to wane a bit towards the end.

James are solid if unspectacular and catch my attention now and again, middle of the list seems fair here.

Supergrass - Sun Hits The Sky

Link

Supergrass were keeping Britpop going somewhat in the late 90's, mixing it into more of a blend of power pop, on their second album, In It For The Money.

I've always quite enjoyed Supergrass, Alright obviously did well here and was a huge hit, but even beyond that they've always caught my ear.

This is another really good track, the 3rd single off that album, and their 3rd entry here.

It's not on the level of a Blur or Oasis, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Texas - Halo

The follow up single to Say What You Want, Texas didn't hit the same heights this time around.

A standard unspectacular rock track in the late 90's/early 00's mould.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Link

The lead single off OK Computer, the last time I checked the number one album on BEA's overall chart, which alone should be enough of an endorsement.

Not really like your usual singles here, but Radiohead have gathered a big enough following despite how different their style is.

It remains one of my favourite tracks by them in general, and as a result it's the first new entry to the top 10 in some time.

Sheryl Crow - A Change Would Do You Good

Link

The 4th of 5 singles off Crow's self-titled album, it's an admirable follow up to the excellent Everyday is a Winding Road.

Somewhere on the fringes of rock, country and pop, it's a good blend of all 3 and it ultimately leads to quite a catchy time.

A real good car song also in my humble opinion.

Paul McCartney - Young Boy

Link

The lead single off Paul's 11th solo album, Flaming Pie, a pretty decent album in my opinion.

I feel you kind of know what you're going to get off Paul at this stage, and still do, it won't blow you away to the level of his Beatles stuff, but there's still plenty of good stuff to be found.

This very much fits in that bracket.

Cast - Guiding Star

Cast are doing well here and get another one squeezed in, the second single off their second album.

Probably on par with some of their other tracks, falling into that post-Britpop pre indie rock scene.

Robbie Williams - Old Before I Die

Link

Robbie's kicked off his solo career properly in 1997, with his debut album, Life Thru A Lens.

A solid pop hit from the former Take That, he's got some songs that can go either way, but this one falls in the middle for sure.

Ocean Colour Scene - 100 Mile High City

Link

The lead single off Ocean Colour Scene's second album, Marchin' Already.

It didn't get as much love as the previous album, but I think this might actually be my favourite single of theirs.

Got a lot of legs from featuring in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, good bit of fun.

The Seahorses - Love Is The Law

Link

A very interesting one here.

The Seahorses were a shortlived band formed by former Stone Roses member John Squire.

Releasing just one album, this was the only real single that made anything of note, somewhere between the Stone Roses and Oasis stylistically, it fits that post-Britpop UK scene admirably.

Only 800 odd views on the video I'm sharing, but I actually think of have a copy of this single somewhere in storage currently.

A welcome pick.

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Link

This one was (still is?) huge and needs no introduction.

The Verve had broken up once before this after their second album, reunited in 1997 for their third album Urban Hymns, a huge hit, and then broke up again not long afterwards.

They reunite and break up for a 3rd time years later in the late 00's.

Still holds up and I'll still enjoy listening to it, there's some interesting stuff on the royalties and a case involving the Rolling Stones, if you're looking for lite reading.

U2 -Staring At The Sun

More a traditional alt rock/pop hit from them as opposed to the last few they've had on here.

Wet Wet Wet - If I Never See You Again

Link

The lead single off Wet Wet Wet's 5th album, 10 (confusing I know).

Somewhere between Meat Loaf and Elton John, and as good as neither if you ask me.

Can't get into it, a drastic change to the previous track though.

Foxy Brown - I'll Be (Radio Edit) (feat. Jay-Z)

Link

Rapper Foxy Brown had some mild success in the late 90's into the mid 00's, though some legal issues and a scrapped album mean it's been over 20 years since she had a single chart, though I guess that shouldn't take away from this, which is solid.

First reference to Jay-Z on here also, shows have far we have come, his debut album having come out the previous year, Reasonable Doubt.

Anyway, the second single of Brown's debut album, Ill Na Na, decent.

N-Tyce - Hey DJ! (Play That Song)

Link

I initially didn't like this but it was begrudgingly growing on me by the end of it.

A shortlived blend of pop and hip-hop from an English girl group who had just one album before ending in 1999.

Sounds like early S Club in a weird sense...

Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)

Link

Despite showing up a year after its original release, this is the strongest Backstreet single yet, the 4th of their debut album.

Despite the issues surrounding them, they definitely took the boyband era to a different level, this was only the start.

Boyzone - Isn't It A Wonder

Link

The 3rd single off Boyzone's second album, more like it in terms of catchy 90's pop, much more my speed, even if it's not near their best.

Boyzone get treated well here in large due to nostalgia, which is particularly relevant as they're Irish.

That said I still really like their style of boyband pop.

Damage - Wonderful Tonight

Moving swiftly along to boyband Damage covering Eric Clapton, the 5th single off their debut album.

Not a song I'm a huge fan of in general, and this version doesn't help.

Better than the last one though...
