I referenced the "Brit Box" boxed set in my previous post, and how the Blur song choice struck as me as a little odd, given some of their bigger hits were passed over. Let's take a look at some of the other artists on this comp. With some of the artists, it's easy to guess the song because it was their only big hit (see The La's "There She Goes.") But other's such as Oasis have had numerous hits. Which one would you choose?
We already know which Blur song is on there, but, without looking, what song from the following bands would you expect to be a on compilation boxed set? Post your guesses in the comments.
Oasis
The Smiths
The Cure
Suede
Pulp (I always used to get Suede and Pulp confused)
New Order
What about...
Echo and the Bunnymen
The Stone Roses
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Teenage Fanclub
The Verve
Elastica
Or these?
The Boo Radleys
Supergrass
Swervedriver
Stereolab
James
The Charlatans
Thanks to Ken from Gapers Blog for the idea for this post. I'll do a follow-up post with the actual songs in a day or two.

Caral's gonna be disappointed if you don;t include XTC.
ummm... Carla's gonna be disappointed by the Brit Box. That's right, no XTC on there! I didn't notice that omission until you mentioned it. That's kind of an embarassement, ain't it? Maybe next I'll do a post about who got left off of this thing.
