If you are a fan of Britpop, you will recognize most of the songs in this book. Bands such as Suede, Blur and Oasis – heavily influenced by bands from the first wave of British bands from the late 60s – became in the mid-90s prominent figures in a new era of British guitar-based pop. The nation got a new soundtrack, American grunge was replaced by songs like
Common People, Wonderwall, Flowers in the Window and
The Drugs Don't Work , Tony Blair was young, new and popular New Labor party leader and London was once again swinging and ready to spread the influences to the rest of the world. So take out the guitar, comb your bangs and sing:

There are currently eight parts in the
Text & Chords series.
