This is the Britpop Top 7 on W♥M. Unlike the previous Top 7 entries, the selections of just Seven was quite hard for me. At the last minute, I had to drop Kula Shaker in favor of the obvious Shed Seven, purely based on their name. Get it ? Shedding Seven ???
Unfortunately, they're not the one spotlight, instead I have to go with Salad, because I get a lot of question about the W♥M banner. It is a vector of Marijne van der Vlugt, the singer of the band.
The last whereabout of Van der Vlugt is that she is the writer and singer of Cowboy Racer. Their website is at cowboyracer.com and they also have a myspace page so you can hear what they sound like.
PS, you would think compiling these Top 7 is easy because it's
basically just a collection of links, but it's not! Picking the best
ones is really hard, I had to weigh all the 29 articles carefully. Special runner-ups includes: The Bluetones (will write about their 2007 album next year), Supergrass (too famous), Space (not quite Britpop), Powder (too unpopular!), and Gene (too, well, too Gene!).

So I should probably explain that the model used for the banner is Marijne van der Vlugt, model/singer of Salad.
Nobody took Salad seriously because the singer was a super model and she did not write any of the songs.
I have no idea where Salad is nowadays (they broke up and I know Marijne joined another band but I can't be bothered to do the research right now).
The thing to note about "Party" is that lovely growl she does....
