Ladies of Britpop

[hans kraay fan club]

No poll. This isn't a competition, merely a thread in appreciation.

If you are about 40, and especially if you were a student in the late 80s or early 90s, chances are that you were at least a little bit in love, with one or more of these young ladies.

Sonia Madan of Echobelly

Louise Wener of Sleeper

Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays

Sarah Cracknell of St.Ettienne

Feel free to add...

Bollox Texas were never Britpop, if they were I could have posted this:-

I had forgotten the gorgeousness that was Harriet Wheeler! Went to Throwing Muses gig at Portsmouth Guildhall just because The Sundays were supporting. Happy days ...

 

[Bold Seagull]

Justine Frischmann - Elastica (surely the high priestess of Britpop!?)

Cary Matthews - Catatonia

 

[Worthingite]

of a similar time, whether she is accepted as a face of Britpop or not, for the happiness she gives one of our most famous fans, she deserves the appreciation

Cary Matthews - Catatonia

I very, very nearly included Justine F, but decided against it, on the grounds that PERSONALLY, I was never in love with her.

Mostly because she looked like a boy.

Nor Cerys Matthews, because much as I DID love her a little bit musically, she's a bit ropey facially.

local lass Wendy James, of Transvision Vamp. End of thread.

Fit? Yes
Filthy? Absolutely
Britpop? Nope

Susanna Hoffs was my fixation at the time

 

[Lower West Stander]

Remember going to see her at Manchester International. I was right at the front and she was wearing the shortest skirt I,ve ever seen. Still dream about it.......

eek, is that what it was, I was seriously in love with her.......until the court order meant I couldn't get within 1000 yards.

Cerys, saw her at V96, loved her too. Maybe for the same reasons you didn't!

I went to the Sundays 2nd lp launch at abbey road studios. There was only about 20 of us, I just spent most of the night gawping at Harriette. The album was playing on a portable cd player while everyone mingled. Think it would be a bit different nowadays.

Some wayward 'britpop' going on here, including Harriette. If I was to vote it would easily be Sonia echo belly.

 

[Stoo82]

I know its not really Britpop due to them deing Irish and releasing thier first single in 2000... but I give you Hilary Woods of JJ72.

 

[bhafc99]

Also not Britpop, but of the same era: Emma Anderson of Lush (and later Sing Sing).

The clever choice, cos everyone else fancied Miki Berenyi.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Miki Berenyi from Lush

Just seen bhafc99s post so I've add this!
