A Chronological History Of Epic BRITISH Indie Angst - Updated

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Here's where we've got to (I've added in a handful more myself):

( The history )

Annotations:

* moar prehistory needed! Surely...the VU!!? (tho see *** below)
** non-Smiths suggestions welcomed for these years though they'd need to be pretty hott I guess.
*** most WP feels cramped rather than epic to me. Also shouldn't there be some Nirvana somehow, or NIN or something? On the other hand there's quite a good case for sticking to the UK tradition, in which case the 00s need even more work. (EDIT - have gone with this)
**** I'd be more tempted to go for something off the (rubbish, sorry) second alb than this jaunty number.
***** Are there more apt Radiohead tracks?
****** After this point I haven't actually heard most of the nominations which is surely how it should be!!

Also - more 00s angst pls!

Boyzone's Love Me For A Reason video...

...is DIRECTLY influenced by Jason Donovan's Any Dream Will Do!

Candles, people! CANDLES!! Swooping camera angles that make one feel slightly seasick! No bored children in Love Me For An Reason though, unless you count Keith Duffy (bdm-tsh).
