I wish to resurrect this as i was thinking about this very topic the other day.
In the end it came down My Bloody Valentine, Massive Attack, Prodigy, Tricky, Portishead, Slowdive, Ride, Lush and Radiohead. Basically shoegaze and trip hop. These acts are, to me, a level above certainly Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede and the like whilst, though i respect them, Aphex Twin, Leftfield and Primal Scream really dont do it for me.
It then got me thinking how shit British music has been for the last 20 years. With exception to the bands i've listed above, there isnt much British material at all that i like from 90s - and the 00's are even worse.
Btw, in the end i decided on Massive Attack.
