I have a neighbour who is a number 1 fan of British music and annually produces a Christmas cd of his own compilation to distribute to the neighbours by way of a Christmas card.
This year I would like to give him a cd of offbeat British favourites - some that even a Britophile might not know. Now bear in mind that he was selling a Brotherhood of Man CD at a recent yard sale because it was a recent re-recording and not authentically 80s. (I didn't say his taste was good!)
Since I am well out of touch with music but would like to make this compilation, I need some suggestions.
The only proviso has to be that it either be readily available on cd or on iTunes - which is a pain since the US iTunes doens't have much. They have to be British artists and have been a hit in the UK.
The music is to span at least the 60s to the 90s, but since I left the UK I am completely igorant of anything past 1992 and I want about 20 tracks in all.
If you can give me some ideas that would be great.
