The list is mainly comprised of the biggest albums of the genre, excluding Oasis ones because come on, We would all be picking them !

Elastica. Been stuck into that album the last couple years. It's top.

I would say Urban Hymns, followed by Suede and (in the melody of the title track) park-life !

It's definitely Urban Hymns for me, though it came out the later end of Britpop.
That said, those albums (of the ones I've heard) hold up well to this day. Different Class is spectacular, Park Life's got lots of great songs on it, and Elastica's is a great rush.

Urban Hymns isn't even in the same realm. Completely different world.
As for the Britpop non-Oasis title, it goes to 'Blur' (the album), followed closely by 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'.

The title obviously goes to Parklife! Such a diverse blend of genres molded into a surprisingly cohesive album that, rather than sounding like a throwback to its influences, sounds like an improvement on them.  |

I'd love to stay here and be normal, but it's just so overrated.

Dog Man Star or Moseley Shoals
I love Urban Hymns but to me that's the definitive post-brtipop album

For me you're missing two biggies. Shed Seven - Maximum high. And the album that knocked Morning Glory off #1, The Bluetones - Expecting to Fly

Parklife, Modern Life Is Rubbish (which I've always liked at least as much as Parklife), Urban Hymns. I also have a soft spot for Gene but they're not really Britpop.
Kinda amazing how many classic albums were released between 1994 and 1997 when you think about it!

 "Let's all meet up in the year 2000,
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?"
This album embodies everything I love about Britpop. It's actually not that far off Oasis's first two, in my opinion, which is probably the highest complement you can pay a record. |

Urban Hymns.
Surprised to see Parklife with so many votes. Not a bad album, of course, but I would put at least 4-5 albums before it.

Is Urban Hymns really a Britpop album? Sure, it's got a Britpop sound all over it, but it's much too morose, somber, and serious to be associated with the upbeat excesses that characterized that genre. I'd say that, along with OK Computer and The Man Who, it gave birth to post-Britpop. You're more likely to find more similarities between The Drugs Don't Work and The Scientist or Why Does It Always Rain on Me than you would between it and Don't Look Back in Anger or Country House.

Some great albums there but i have gone with everything must go. After everything they had gone through to come back with an album that good is incredible.

Blur's self-titled one for me. It's not very Brit-poppy though.
More like Limey grunge.

The Man Who is the definitive post-Britpop album, followed by Parachutes. Urban Hymns is in its own realm. It's got that neo-psychadelia thanks to McCabe, mixed in with those fresh new post-Britpop ballads that are taken to a new level by Ashcroft. It's somewhere in the middle for me. Radiohead in general have been in their own art rock genre since OK Computer. |

You can't list Urban Hymns as "Brit Pop". A great album that arrived when Brit Pop was over. To qualify an album really needs to have dropped between 1994 and 1996. You know, when Brit Pop was actually alive and thriving. If you are going to include Urban Hymns you might as well include Ok Computer because that's a clear runaway winner in my books.  |

It's sad that 14 people voted for an album which isn't even part of the Brit Pop movement. That makes me question whether you guys even know what Brit Pop is or was.
