Comment:

I got my IMP mix this month, and it was a chronological collection of American Rock from the 50s up to today. I have decided to steal this idea and put together a playlist of how I see British rock has progressed. I also thought it'd be interesting to make a mix of tracks everyone knew, see if it'd still be any good.

For the later stuff, I've picked tracks I remember as the soundtrack of the time, rather than more credible things (hence Ocean Colour Scene). I've also missed off some more poppy influenced things (Duran Duran, Blur etc.)

I suppose the major missing acts would be Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and the Fall. Couldn't find a Floyd track that fitted, and I'm just not that much of a fan of the others. Or have I made a glaring omission somewhere else?

The hardest part was knocking out the tracks from 78-81 - clearly the best period for rock in this country. I had to knock off a load of tracks from this period. Still haven't got it down to CD length yet though. I think the years are right - feel free to correct them...
