Three disc set out soon

Universal Records have compiled a massive compilation to mark the 15th anniversary of Britpop. And it's rather good, actually.
Blur and Oasis are notable by their absence on Common People, which features cuts from The Auteurs, Pulp, Suede and the Super Furry Animals. Northern Uproar also feature, but hey, this is a historical document — you couldn't write about the history of the French wig without discussing how the advent of the guillotine was the French Revolution's descent into barbarism. Like much of the material on the third disc, Northern Uproar are akin to the soldiers and the instruments of The Terror.

Ridiculous that you could have Embrace's "All You Good Good People" and it's shameless ripping-off of Noel Gallagher's anthemic "D'you Know What I Mean" and not have the genuine article itself.
