Prompted by the reaction to my last tweet, let’s create a list of the absolute worst Britpop bands/songs. Reckon we’re looking mainly at the second and third wave, 96 to 98, when A&R men signed literally anyone with a cagoule or a mockney accent

I’ll get the ball rolling:

Bennet
Octopus
The Dandys*

*The Dandys being such a breathtakingly cynical proposition that they made Menswear look like the epitome of 4 Real-ness
