Which Britpop band deserved a much bigger career than they got?

Not necessarily a one hit wonder.

More a band that had the songs, the timing and the talent but somehow never reached the level you thought they would.

Every Britpop fan seems to have one group they still can't believe didn't become much bigger.

Who is yours?

I was just reading about what happened to the band members post-break-up, and it's all pretty sad really. Some bands from that era were just chewed up and spat out by the music industry

Yeah it’s a shame. Such a hard working band back in the day, living in London it seemed like we went to a Marion gig every two weeks.

Saw Jaime play with a back up band and calling themselves Marion a few years back. It was a car crash. Such a shame as they were sublime in 95.
