Pulp - Different Class
Pulp triumph with a landmark work that, with its cutting guitars and heavy synthetic content, as well as its danceable grooves and pervasive irony, screams out the freedom to feel different. Next comes the most famous Blur album, with its shifting moods and relentless compositional creativity, which cemented them among the movement's standard-bearers. Rounding off the podium is the Verve's "Urban Hymns", which ideally marked the close of britpop's golden era with its triumphant flourishes and an unrepeatable handful of singles.

THE EDITORS' FAVOURITE ARTISTS
Suede
Penalized in the album rankings due to the huge spread of votes across their many great works, Brett Anderson's Suede nonetheless take the crown as our editorial team's favourite band. It's a triumph that confirms how the London band, alongside only Blur, should be considered the true founders of the entire britpop scene.
CLAUDIO FABRETTI'S FAVOURITES
Suede - Dog Man Star
A majestic work steeped in a decadent mood, drawing heavily on a murky darkwave imagination with a foresight that anticipated the musical trends of at least the following two decades. Anderson's songs are pervaded by a pleasantly exhausted, dusty light, at times even spectral, which somehow foreshadows the imminent end of all the generational utopias tied to the great britpop dream
