As musical styles further diversified in the 1990’s, British music was at the forefront with ‘Britpop’ a successful export around the world. It was an eclectic decade which is represented here by the glorious soaring pop of Manic Street Preachers, the driven power-pop of The Lightning Seeds & Texas, the anthemic Boo Radleys, the funk-tastic Jamiroquai, the poetic beauty of Annie Lennox’s ‘Why’, the pure pop of Take That and the record-breaking Number 1 from Wet Wet Wet.
